A wonderful trip up into the mountains. It was like a step back in history. The views were fantastic and the train ride was very smooth. The markets up in the township were just so different. Lots of fun

Michael was fabulous, you can tell he really cares about all his guests. Communication was great, we never felt confused or lost. Love that he provides his transportation services no matter what excursion you are looking to do. We chose to ride up the mountain with Michael for his commentary, enjoyed a hike in the jungle, explored the markets and then took the train down where he met us at a stop and walked us back to the bus.

Great. Our host & driver was Mike. He was prompt and very knowledge about Cairns and a very safe driver. Mike also went out of his way to look after visitors from overseas where English was not their first language. The tour did exactly what the tour scope said it would do. Kuranda was a nice place to explore. Train trip was very pleasant. Enjoyable day.
