Tomb of the Pharaohs was a great experience in Cairns. The guided sunset tour with Quin was informative, engaging, interactive and fun. I really appreciate how thorough the exhibition is and the level of care that has been placed into producing such a nice establishment. Quin clearly values the experience of her tours and shows participants this with a friendly inviting demeanour. I really enjoyed my time looking through the tombs.
