This was a great tour for seeing some of the sights of Cairns and surrounds when you don't have a car or a lot of time. St Monica's Cathedral was a standout, the windows are breathtaking. Also enjoyed the Museum, a delicious afternoon tea, the drive up to the viewing point, and the visit to Palm Cove. Fiona was a very knowledgeable and easy going guide. A very enjoyable afternoon.
Amazing trip with a nice tour guide Lot of thing seen and learned Look forward for another trip with friends
Great day out and tour operators Peter and Gavin were very informative and knew what they were talking about. This tour was excellent to see things you probably wouldn’t have seen if you did on your own
Take some water and get ready to learn a lot. We are not from Cairns and may not get back here so we did this tour. It was fantastic and you even got Scones, jam and cream for afternoon tea. The Driver (David), we had was so knowledgeable and informative. Really learnt a lot and can recommend this tour
This is such a wonderful tour if you’re short on time but want to pack as much as you can in. We only had two full days in Cairns so this was perfect. We learned a lot about the area in a short amount of time. Our tour guide David was friendly and informative. Thank you !
This was a lovely experience, David did a great job sharing what he knew about the different places he took us. Everyone commented on such a good job he did, very informative.
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.
