5.00Gary is the best guide in Brisbane. He customized a great day for our family. We had grandma to grandkids in the group. He ensured everyone was having time. Still talking about it a few weeks later.
Comprehensive Brisbane Day Tour

5.00This was a day tour for us from Celebrity Edge cruise ship. Communication with the office (Harry) before the tour was very prompt. Gary was our guide and the owner. He obviously loves his city and is extremely gregarious. We did some of the lookouts over the city, but the highlight was McArthurs museum in the CBD. We knew nothing about this until Gary mentioned it to us. It happened to be open so we were able to see it. Gary was very good about figuring out logistics and parking. Thanks Harry and Gary!

5.00This was a perfect way to start our vacation. There was excellent communication from the time we booked until we were dropped off at our hotel. Eddie was our driver and he created a wonderful experience for our family with 4 teenagers. He promptly picked us up from the airport, was very friendly, polite and considerate. Eddie is very proud of Brisbane and has great knowledge of the city. Everyone in our group enjoyed the tour. He gave us great suggestions for things to do during our stay as well. Definitely worth the price.
Great

5.00We had an amazing experience with Adventure Day Trips Brisbane (ADT). Gary, the owner and our guide for the day, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. He made the entire day enjoyable and informative from start to finish. Gary took us all over Brisbane, sharing fascinating facts and local stories. He also gave us fantastic restaurant recommendations and helpful suggestions for our own adventures after the tour. He’s a very personable and genuine guy, and you can tell he loves what he does. The transportation was super comfortable, and the whole experience was smooth and relaxing. We couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Brisbane. Highly recommend ADT and Gary for anyone looking to explore the city with a local expert!

5.00Gary was a wonderful, generous guide. We had a great tour with him and recommend him very highly. Gary went out of his way to understand our interests and customized the tour accordingly. He also gave us great recommendations for things to see beyond our tour. If you have the opportunity, book Gary for your guide in the Brisbane area!
A very high bar at Brisbane

5.00Our gudie, Gary, was less of a guide than a friend i just hadnt met before. I had my 75 y.o. Mum with me, and Gary took great care of her trhoughout the trip. We spoke about life in Brisbane, way of life in Australia, geeat eating spots and watering holes in Brisbane, and of course he showed us some of the finest locations in the city. He drove us around beautiful neighbourhoods and many had stories of their own. We had the mandatory banter about whether rain just came in the way of India winning the Gabba test last week or it saved them the blushes - all in playful good humour. And while i was away exploring the place and taki g photographs, he patiently sat with Mum and regaled her with stories which I realised she found quite engaging. This trip is mainly for her, and i couldnt have found a better person than Gary to kick it off to a great start. I have toured with many guides across the world, but this tour has been one of my best simply because Gary makes it feel like you are out with a friend. Thank you, Gary!
