Best Brisbane Experience with Gary

Did the Brisbane Shore Excursions with Gary from Adventure Day Trips Brisbane and had an awesome day. Gary was super easygoing, knowledgeable and kept things relaxed. Just 3 of us, small group, no rushing. Honestly felt more like being shown around by a local than being on a tour . We stopped at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and saw koalas , my daughter loved Gary's commentary and his jokes. He did a great job guiding us through and keeping it fun without overdoing it. Solid option if you’re short on time or coming straight from the Cruise Terminal but still want to actually enjoy Brisbane. So far has been the best tour operator we’ve had Cheers MATE.
Ask for what you want and he will get it for you.

Gary was on time, courteous, friendly, and everything you would want from a tour guide. He had an itinerary in mind but quickly deviated when we expressed our interests. It was great that he came in the sanctuary with us which made it much easier to navigate. Highly recommend as your guide to the sanctuary and the city.
