The Mount Isa City Tour was excellent. Phillip, the driver / guide as a long term resident has comprehesive knowlege of the place, the mine operations and the City. His commentary & insights were great. If you have a few days in town, the tour is even more useful to help you make the most of your stay…….🌈😎

Upon arrival we were greeted by Phillip and bottled water was offered to us (it was about +30 outside). The tour was very good. We visited places of historical significance, worth mentioning nature areas, got insights into Mout Isa mining complex. Our group consisted of visitors and new Mout Isa residents (young miners) so Phillip gave some tips on places popular with locals , I.e. bakery, leisure parks and local clubs. With friendly tour atmosphere I had a fantastic start to the Isa visit. I highly recommend the tour.

Phillip the guide was fantastic to listen to. His knowledge of the district was great and so interesting. Stuff you can't find about just driving through town. Highly recommend it.
