Had a delightful tour of Cairns which included a local museum of the cities history. A church which commissioned a couple of local artist to create windows which were uniquely painted and treated of creation to current times. Stopped for a scone and tea and finished with the Botanical Garden. Our guide Chris was knowledgeable and easy to spend time with. Would highly recommend this tour.

We got a great tour of Cairns from history to sights to life issues. We learned about the ravages of the cyclone in December. Even though it was rainy, it was an enjoyable day

Chris was a terrific guide. Very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure everyone on the tour had a memorable experience. Chris individually dropped all guests off at their chosen destination which was awesome. A great tour and a must for travellers wanting a Cairns experience.

We did the Cairns City Sights & Surrounds tour yesterday. Our tour guide was Eric & he was very informative & very interesting . Didn’t rush us through & was very patient when we took our pics. He has a very easy manner about him. The only disappointment was not being able to go inside St Monica’s Cathedral because of Covid-19. Very pleasant way to spend an afternoon. Thank you
