I’m not usually impressed enough to write a review I was with this tour and Brad There was flexibility in the tour, (slight deviation, weather dependent and with agreement of all passengers), All sights were well worth the look-see Certainly worth doing the tour on one of the first days in Cairns to get an idea of what other options of activities there are
Great tour guide with immense knowledge of the city and all it has to offer! Got to see a lot of great spots in Cairns. Spent more time in the van and less time at the stops than would have been preferred. Coffee stop could have been a bit shorter so we would have had more time at the museum and Palm Cove.
Steve and David were excellent guides. We learnt a lot about the areas we saw. Afternoon tea at Edge Hill really nice break.
This was a trip just to fill in a few hours I had free one afternoon. Our lovely helpful driver Lisa took us on some highlights of the City, provided lots of good information. Lots of short stops and just what was needed in time I had. The only very small negative I had was a Devonshire Cream Tea was listed as the food stop, it was only cake and drink. But having said that it was no problem for me and did not impact my enjoyment of the trip but others may have expected more. Just want to say again how super and friendly Lisa was, a credit to the company.
Brad was our driver/tour guide. He was absolutely brilliant! He explained our afternoon itinerary and what to expect. Along the way, he pointed out places of interest and told us a few stories about these places. He was punctual, knowledgeable and friendly. We had a marvelous experience.
We had a tough time finding the pick up point. It was not as stated in voucher.Overall the trip was good and our guide cum driver was both friendly and helpful.
We were a couple, ages 70/72, on a cruise and we had a great time on this tour. Lisa was our guide and she was so personable, knowledgeable and professional. We were met at the arranged meeting point on time in a comfortable vehicle. The trip was very varied and we saw local sites in the Cairns area, I won't list them to preempt the trip. We stopped for a drink and bun and then went to a lookout and then Palm Cove and were dropped back at the cruise ship. We were not rushed at any time. We thoroughly enjoyed the 5 hours with Lisa and got a good feeling for Cairns and the surrounding area, within limited time. Highly recommend.
Today was a great day tour with Steve. The driver took us many great places and gave historicall explanations regarding the area. This tour is worth it for those new to Cairns.
Absolutely very satisfied with this excursion and with our driver/guide Brad. We were only 2 participants and yet the excursion continued. Also in an electric bus. We did St.Monica's church with the beautiful stained glass windows, Cairns Museum, the botanical gardens, enjoyed scones at Ozmosis, then did a nice vantage point over Cairns and ended up with a beautiful walk to waterfalls (deviating from the original plan, very good choice).
Great introduction to Cairns with Dom. He was really informative and showed all the best places. Highly recommend this tour and you will be li ku if you have Dom.
