Overview of Cairns Tour

Chris was a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable and flexible. He managed to give us a comprehensive overview of Cairns in just an afternoon. I would definitely recommend this to visitors.

Laurel_H - February 25th, 2025

Great orientation trip

Very interesting and educational. Our guide Chris took us thru part of the botanical gardens and was able to tell us a lot about many of the plants. The scones were delicious! If you order the lemonade, it's Sprite, not lemonade. We covered a lot and I'd highly recommend it early in your stay in Cairns just to get oriented.

Royal_K - February 28th, 2025

Wonderful tour would highly recommend. Tour guide very knowledgeable of the local areas.

Tour guide very helpful with passengers on and off the coach. A lot of information given about the local history of Cairns and surrounds. Great afternoon tea opportunity.

Jenny - March 7th, 2025

Cairns Museum was a revelation. Driver’s narration excellent. Scones for afternoon tea were great. Highly recommend this excursion.
