Enjoyable day, lots to see and well organised. Excellent firm to deal with. River Cruise was very informative.

Great to have guides during the trip otherwise we would not have known so many things about Cairns. The guides are knowledgeable and friendly. Recommended!

The tour of the city was informative and covered many of Cairns local sights. Our guide Eric was very knowledgeable and entertaining More time could be spent at the museum but were told if we go back within three days and say we were on the tour we get in for free. The dinner cruise well organised,staff friendly and the food really good. To be frank, not much to look at, mainly industrial views, felt I was going in circles at times.

Botanical gardens were amazing and Marianne went out of her way to make special arrangements for our afternoon tea on a public holiday. Guide was very informative and cruise very enjoyable.

Excellent interaction with our guides. They were knowledgeable and fun! It was a wonderful snapshot of Cairns and great to do it at the beginning of our trip to help identify where we would like to revisit for longer. And so many gems of interest on the Inlet itself. We learnt so much. Highly recommend. The arvo tea and lunch were very yummy too!
