Far exceeded expectations

Published on Feb, 2025

This is the perfect tour for visitors who are looking for an intro. to the Cairns area, not only the city but the surrounding suburbs. 5 hours allow more time to see the area and visit sites including the Cairns museum and botanic garden. Small bus and group size enable faster and easier unboarding, and therefore more time at site. Love the A/C! Even on a rainy day, this tour and Chris make Darwin shine.

Great tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Chris is attentive to all of us. Show us around in detailed and on time to meet us. Great guide and good service. He even gave us cokd water during that hot weather

Nice shore excursion to see the city

Published on Jan, 2025

Wonderful day tour. Very close to the port with pick up at the casino. Very easy to find. Took us around the city and to the botanical gardens, look out point and a stop for tea and scones. Highly recommend

Great Overview to Cairns

Published on Dec, 2024

Chris was a great tour guide. He had a pleasant sense of humor and was quite knowledgeable about the history, the plants in the Botanical Gardens and the sites we visited. I wasn't looking forward to the visit to St. Monica's cathedral but the stain glass windows were amazing. The scones were delicious and a nice break from sightseeing. There was some confusion as to the meeting point. Our Viator tickets said one location but when the tour bus didn't show up, I called and were told to be in a different place. It all worked out.

Saw a lot of the city and surrounds. Unfortunately could not see lowerBarron Gorge National Park as road was closed

Excellent half day tour. Coach driver Graham provided excellent courteous and prompt service. Has a wealth of information
