Reviews
Graeme was a great tour guide
Very knowledgable guide
Loved it. David is an exceptional tour guide. He is very informative and friendly. We saw a lot more than we expected. The tea and scones were a nice treat.
Andrew has amazing local knowledge,and we got to see more of Cairns than if we had gone on our own, and we met some lovely people! I thoroughly recommend this tour to all travellers!
An excellent tour and a great way to get an overview of Cairns. Dave is a lot of fun and very knowledgable. Dont be lured by the promise of cold drinks for afternoon tea though - it is tea and coffee only unless you pay extra.
Very interesting driver, full of information, great way get oriented to the place.
