We knew we were off to a bad start when my wife was three minutes late because she had to go to the bathroom. Brett was condescending and muttered under his breath a very unprofessional comment. While on the tour van Brett told us about his failed businesses and divorce, which I understand why both happened. When we arranged for the upgraded glass bottom gondola to Kuranda, Brett said that there were only 10 of those gondolas and it would slow down our tour. He said the other gondolas offered a better view. He was wrong on both accounts.

The previous day began with disappointment when our tour (with another company) was cancelled due to the inclement weather. Our hotel recommended Brett’s tours and we booked. Unfortunately we could not enjoy the railway as planned due to the weather but despite this we got off to a great start. We were in a group of 10 and our driver / guide Brett made us feel at home as soon as he welcomed us into the mini coach. We had a fantastic day enjoying learning so much about the culture and local history. The sky rail was impressive and a must to do All in all a great day and Brett was 100% a big part of that!

We have just returned from our Kuranda tour and we really enjoyed Chris’ service and style. He’s very informative, humorous and personable. The tour itself was good but Chris made it great. Thank you, Chris!

We had such a good day. Neil picked us up from our hotel, he was knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the journey. We took the scenic railway up to Kuranda, had time for lunch and a wander round before taking the cable car back down. Neil always made sure everyone knew where and when to meet at each stop. He was also aware that there were two cruise ships with all their passengers visiting Kuranda, so made sure we were always just ahead of them so we did not get caught in long queues behind them.

Really good fun. Even though the bus was full ( their first time in many months due to the cyclone and flooding) it never felt crowded. Chris ( and Bosun ) our tour guide was both informative and entertaining. Everything we did was worthwhile and very much value for money. It's fair to say that some parts of Kuranda have given way to the cheap Chinese manufactured souvenirs, however there are enough home grown stalls and shops offering great original products to make it worthwhile. Finishing off with a cocktail, wine or beer in Palm Cove was a great way to say goodbye.

Chris was a great guide and went out of his way to make the day run smoothly. The scenic railway wasn’t running but the substitute trip to the crocodile farm was interesting. Chris gave us so much information about the area .

Great tour. Everyone else had canceled our tour but they were able to give us a great experience. Even added the crockadile stop to round out the day. Guides were very knowledgeable and adapted the flow for individuals abilities. Highly recommend.

The tour was reliable and well organised with a friendly & knowledgeable driver. Although the train was a real highlight, it was a shame that our group (only 3) could not sit together - and that our seats were allocated on the opposite side to the great views. The time at Kuranda village was so short - we didn't get to look around much at all. You really 2-3 hours here - the cocktails at Palm Cove could have removed to allow more time at the village. Skyrail was very good. Recommend you ask for seats on the train looking towards the views. Also ask for all seats in your group to be together.

Very well run day. Towie was full of knowledge yet fun and added a great vibe to the day. He ensured we all knew what to do and where to go all day. It was a very enjoyable day.
