This was an Excellent tour of downtown sites & history. He weaved in ancient and recent history of many sites. Most impressively and usedukky, he had a mn iPad with pictures of what the town and historical figures looked like and how they impacted Cairns. This was so helpful and greatly enhanced our tour and our understanding. It now makes me surprised other tour guides don't use such devices as well. Very well done.
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review! I'm delighted that the historical photos and stories on the iPad helped bring the past to life for you. Cairns has such a rich, multilayered history—from its ancient roots to more recent times—and I find those visuals really help connect the dots. I truly appreciate your kind words about the approach. Thank you for joining me on the tour! — Peter

That is so wonderful to hear! I always hope my guests walk away feeling like locals rather than just visitors. It’s great that you enjoyed the deep dive into the history and culture of the region—I certainly love sharing those stories. I'm thrilled I could help make Cairns feel a little more like home for you. Safe travels, and I hope to see you back in the tropics again soon!
Amazing Tour! We recently joined Peter for the Cairns History Walking Tour and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Cairns. Peter was warm, friendly, engaging and most importantly knowledgeable and passionate. The tour was done at a great pace, and was extremely insightful and the use of the i-pad to give perspective on some buildings and areas was a great touch. If you are visiting Cairns, I would highly recommend doing this tour, you will no regret it.

It’s always my goal to keep the pace comfortable while sharing the passion I have for Cairns’ unique heritage, so I’m glad it was a highlight of your trip! Safe travels on the rest of your journey, and thank you again for recommending the tour to others visiting our beautiful city.
