Thanks Leah, it was lovely to meet you both 🌸
This was a brilliant tour to see Byron bay and other local sites. Very knowledgeable guide that was helpful and supportive with anything we wanted to do . Would definitely recommend
Thanks David, great to meet you! I hope the rest of your time in Oz is amazing 🤩
Trevor was absolutely lovely! Timely pickup and provided heaps of great info on our journey for the day. He also provided maps, places to eat at stops, and overall was just very thought out and detailed. This was a great day trip - highly recommend!!
Hi Joan, thanks for the lovely review! ☺️ It was great to meet you 🌼
Hard to rate the tour since we couldn't see much due to the heavy rains. Stopped to look at lighthouse but couldn't get out; Byron Bay was totally flooded and couldn't get out for lunch or walk around; Bangalow streets were also flooded and hard to really see Gold Coast. Trevor our tour guide was great and we stopped off at a mall to find some lunch since we couldn't have lunch in the towns. If the weather was sunny it would have been a good tour, but with the floods....
Hi Arlene, yes, unfortunately the weather was not forecast as it turned out and it was a shocker of a rain event. Sorry it didn't work out and I hope the partial refund made it back to you.
This was an excellent day trip from Brisbane. From our early hotel pick up until the early evening drop off this was a thoroughly enjoyable, well managed and run experience. Trevor, our tour guide and tour operator was extremely knowledgeable and courteous, allowing plenty of stops and times to take in the sights and have time for coffee, breakfast, lunch etc. He made it a very personal experience and I have no hesitation in recommending this tour.
So glad you enjoyed your day 😊🌸
Trevor was our guide - we did our trip on a Sunday, which meant the traffic was a great deal less and made the trip much more pleasurable. Trevor was great, both in pre-trip communication and as a very knowledgeable and engaging guide on the trip. Loved every aspect of the very busy day, had no issues whatsoever - if you're considering visiting Byron Bay and Goldcoast from Brisbane, this is an excellent way to do it - and you'll hit all of the important sites you won't want to miss.
Thanks Larry, it was tremendous having you and Alex along for the day 🥰

The tour is beautiful, the information very interesting. I missed the farm stop and also believe that the Macadamia shop stop could include seeing a plantation.
Thank for sharing your thoughts and suggestions 😊 Glad you still enjoyed the day 🌼 Obrigado por compartilhar sua opinião e sugestões 😊 Fico feliz que você tenha aproveitado o dia 🌼
This was a great way to see Byron Bay and the Gold Coast. Trevor was outstanding. His minivan was comfortable, clean and well equipped and he is very knowledgeable. It is a long 11 hr day but worth it and you really get a feel for the area
Thanks for your kind review 😊 Glad you enjoyed your day 😉
