My wife and I did the night tour with tour guide Sandra and it was an absolutely captivating experience from start to finish. Sandra is a passionate archaeologist who is well researched on ancient civilisations. Sandra delivered an exciting and highly informative tour that kept my wife and I fully engaged the entire time. She was able to answer questions with ease and her enthusiasm was contagious you can genuinely see how much she loves what she does through her expressions and storytelling. The exhibition itself is incredibly well put together. I honestly haven’t seen anything like this before. It has an incredible layout that flows beautifully and draws you deeper into the experience. The preciousness and quality of everything on display is just remarkable. This exhibition is a real credit to the owners and to Cairns as a whole. An unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend, especially as a night tour.
