Wonderful tour!

5.00Had a wonderful time on this tour. While we left late due to one couple arriving well after the clearly stated time, Mark (our guide) did a great job rearranging our itinerary, so we were able to see everything we wanted to see. Loved the small van vs. the BIG bus you end up on when you book through the cruise line. We were able to hop off quickly at all the stops, spend an appropriate amount of time, and jump right back on. We could have spent less time at the Koala Sanctuary as most of the group were done under 2 hours (we were allotted 2.5 hours) so suggestion for future would be somehow predetermine how long the stay should be.
Brisbane highlights and Koala’s

5.00Fantastic day out with Tania. She showed round the highlights of Brisbane and was really passionate about the city she has grown up in. Lunch at the Botanical garden was exceptional and the Koala sanctuary was amazing. A really good value for money tour. Highly recommend.

5.00Great customer service from booking to return to the cruise terminal. Tanya is a great guide and driver, if you overlooked her dad jokes! 🤣 Lunch was very nice and tasty after our highlights tour and set us up nicely for the lone pine tree visit. Bottle of water provided which was very welcome on a hot day. The packet of crisps were the dogs B as it's been 6+ weeks since I last had a packet. To get a real personal service, do book this one. Thank you Tania, hope you get your cruise later in the year. Julie and Mandy.

5.00Tania was a wonderful, dynamic guide. We had a fabulous visit at Lone Pine koala sanctuary, with ample time to visit the birds and animals. Lunch at the Botanic Gardens was excellent in a beautiful setting. Unfortunately, it rained for the rest of the afternoon. Tania was determined to show us anything we wanted to see in Brisbane, regardless of the rain. She toured the city pointing out land marks and stopping at places of interest. We appreciated her flexibility. Thank you Tania for your enthusiasm. It was an excellent day! All the best in the future.
Great tour even in the rain

5.00We had an excellent day with Tania on our day in Brisbane. The koala sanctuary was super interesting, with platypus and sheep dog demonstration. It rained off and on, but we enjoyed the lack of people. Lunch at the botanical garden was great, and wandering through the gardens was enjoyable. We then did a city our, see a lot of highlights. We would book this company again without hesitation.
