3.00Really depends on what time of the year you go. The guides and drivers were all great, really put in the effort. We went to the city overlook for pictures which was ok. We went to the waterfalls which were nice, but in February probably lacks the water velocity make them special. The gardens could be spectacular if the flowers are in bloom when you go, but that wasn’t our luck. We skipped last museum stop. Good crew but very time dependent.
Great site seeing trip

5.00Great trip. They even worked well with the cruise ship's arrival and departure. Was able to view a couple of platypuses at the Emu Valley Rhododendron Gardens. Still had time afterwards to explore downtown. Had great lunch at The Communion. Tour guides were very informative.
Not much of a Tour

3.00It was great to see the country side but the waterfall was just a small waterfall and the Garden was pretty but the flowers were not blooming at this time. We wished that the season for the blooms would have been noted in the comments. Not much of a hop on and hop off with only 2 stops. (and a brief stop to put other up at the brewery) Did enjoy the enthusiasm of the tour lady on the trip back to our ship
Nice Burnier
