MUST tour Sydney with this shining star!

Wondermama is amazing! We loved this tour. She is bright, funny and charming. Even in the face of a disgusting verbal attack on the street, she retained her composure. We had such a good time. Thank you!
Wonder (ful) Mama

Wonder Mama was wonderful. Such a sweet, sassy, sparkly soul. If you have the time (just make the time) and take a celebratory crosswalk with this Sydney gem.
Utterly FABulous!

From start to finish the Fabulous Wondermama Walking Tour was an absolute blast! Personality plus from this warm and amazing host, who not only told us the history of the area but forged a real sense of connection and understanding with stories of the community's past. Above this, it was obvious how Wondermama was a much loved and respected member of the area, embraced by the hearts of all! It was also a wonderful taste-tester of the great stores in the area, to go back to later and made us feel like we were helping the reinvigoration of this important cultural district. If you're hesitating about booking, don't...it'll be the best 3 hours you spend in Sydney!
Totally recommended Sydney’s hidden gem

Secrets of Oxford street exposed.

I so enjoyed the interesting and colourful walking tour with the added bonus of meeting other people from Australia and travellers from abroad.

I am a Sydney local and in my younger years practically lived in Oxford street enjoying the many bars and restaurants and shops, to hear Wonder Mama's storytelling of the amazing history of the area and the "underground" I discovered a whole new Oxford Street I didn't know existed.

I found Wonder Mama very engaging and entertaining and would highly recommend this tour for locals and visitors to Sydney.
Wonder Mama makes this tour super fun!

What a hoot, the FABULOUS Wonder Mama walking tour of Oxford Street was simply amazing. She shared so much history of Oxford and Darlinghurst which was so interesting to learn. Her humor made the tour so much fun - I’d describe it as fun, campy and very entertaining. She really does show her passion for the community and all the meaningful businesses that is rooted in history for the GLBT movement in Sydney. She is super excited for the city to host World Pride over Mardi Gras - and i know her tours will sell out quickly during that time so be sure to book early. Don’t miss out on a fun tour!
