We were picked up at our accommodation at the specified time, by Chris, our tour guide. The mini bus was comfortable and we were informed that seat belts were required to be worn. We first visited St Monica’s Cathedral, with the most beautiful stained glass windows. Second stop was the Cairns museum for a short overview of the history of the city from a lovely guide- well worth going back to. Afternoon tea was followed by a visit to the botanical gardens, where Chris gave us a great tour of the beautiful tropical plants in the garden- he was extremely knowledgeable about the plants. A visit to a lookout was followed by a drive to Palm Cove, where we could walk on the jetty. Then back to Cairns to be dropped at our hotel. An enjoyable tour and Chris was a great guide. Highly recommended.

We joined the afternoon tour, and it followed the itinerary as listed, in a clean and comfortable minibus. Chris was our tour guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The tour gave a great overview of Cairns and the surroundings. The Botanical Gardens walk was the real highlight, and we thank Chris very much for his insights.

Graeme was the most friendly, informative, caring host. He shared highlights and information about Cairns and the immediate area, offering advice on how to return to places of particular interest to each of us.

Chris our guide was wonderful. Such a fantastic tour. The places we went to and his knowledge made it an awesome tour. The highlight would have to be the stained glass windows in St Monica's.

Tour was amazing and filled with tons of information and history of Cairns. I can't give it a 5 star review because of how annoying it was to be shuttled around during everyone's pick up and drop off. However, it was pretty convenient, so I'm torn between what to actually think of the process.

The trip was well planned and went ahead despite only four people booked.
Graham (aka "G") the tour guide, was very knowledgeable about everything we asked questions about. Very professional, personalble and knowledgable and made the trip worth while.
A great way to learn about the history and lay out of Cairns from Graham and the museum guides, especially if you are visiting the area for the first time.
A highly recommended tour. We really enjoyed it. Thanks G.
