About Pattesussu Tours

Creating extraordinary Australian adventures since 2005

Our Story

How Pattesussu Tours became Australia's premier tourism provider

2005

Pattesussu Tours was founded in 2005 by passionate travelers Michael and Sarah Thompson, who fell in love with Australia's diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage during their own journeys across the continent.

What began as a small operation offering guided walks around Sydney has evolved into one of Australia's most respected tourism companies, known for authentic experiences that showcase the true essence of Australia.

The name "Pattesussu" comes from an Aboriginal word meaning "journey of discovery" – reflecting our commitment to creating transformative travel experiences that connect visitors with Australia's natural wonders and cultural stories.

Today, our team of over 30 experienced guides operates across all major Australian destinations, from the iconic landmarks of Sydney to the remote wilderness of the Outback. Throughout our growth, we've maintained our founding principles: respect for the environment, support for local communities, and a dedication to creating unforgettable memories for our guests.
