Hard to rate the tour...

3.00Hard to rate the tour since we couldn't see much due to the heavy rains. Stopped to look at lighthouse but couldn't get out; Byron Bay was totally flooded and couldn't get out for lunch or walk around; Bangalow streets were also flooded and hard to really see Gold Coast. Trevor our tour guide was great and we stopped off at a mall to find some lunch since we couldn't have lunch in the towns. If the weather was sunny it would have been a good tour, but with the floods....
Fantastic day trip from Brisbane

5.00This was an excellent day trip from Brisbane. From our early hotel pick up until the early evening drop off this was a thoroughly enjoyable, well managed and run experience. Trevor, our tour guide and tour operator was extremely knowledgeable and courteous, allowing plenty of stops and times to take in the sights and have time for coffee, breakfast, lunch etc. He made it a very personal experience and I have no hesitation in recommending this tour.
Very busy but worthwhile day trip!

5.00Trevor was our guide - we did our trip on a Sunday, which meant the traffic was a great deal less and made the trip much more pleasurable. Trevor was great, both in pre-trip communication and as a very knowledgeable and engaging guide on the trip. Loved every aspect of the very busy day, had no issues whatsoever - if you're considering visiting Byron Bay and Goldcoast from Brisbane, this is an excellent way to do it - and you'll hit all of the important sites you won't want to miss.

5.00This was a great way to see Byron Bay and the Gold Coast. Trevor was outstanding. His minivan was comfortable, clean and well equipped and he is very knowledgeable. It is a long 11 hr day but worth it and you really get a feel for the area
Above and beyond service!

5.00Excellent trip, very smooth (on-time) pickup. Logistics of the trip are well planned with timely and thorough communications to make sure everything goes smoothly. Very good local knowledge and information is provided along the way. When heavy rain was forecasted for our planned day, Trevor was pro-active and made the trip available on a day when he normally does not offer the trip so that we would have good weather and a better experience than what had been planned originally. Thank you for the above and beyond service, Trevor!

4.00An early start and a long day but definitely worth it. ! Trevor our driver and guide was both helpful and informative but also relaxed enough to give us time to do our own thing along the way.
