I can highly recommend this great Tour. Man picked us up in time in a well maintained and very clean vehicle. He drives very good and safe, we feel the Day very comford.
Our first stopp was a beautiful Lake, where we had time for Tea and Scones. On the way to Heberton we had a stopp at the Rainforest to see an impressive tree.
Heberton was amazing! And the next Highlight were the Rock Wallabies. Man was very friendly and give us a lot of interessting Infos, but also time to wonder around. Thank you for the super nice Day!
Ps: i am German, so sorry for the English.

Wow, what can I say? Man went above and beyond for dad and I. Prior to pick-up Man kept in contact with pick-up times, etc. and was prompt in response. On the day of our tour, Man picked us up in a well maintained and clean vehicle, his commentary was amazing and clear and he allowed us enough time at each stop along the way.
Herberton Village was amazing and once again after showing us a few of the sights, Man allowed us ample time to wonder around the village before making our way back to our accommodation.
In all honesty, I can't speak highly enough of Man and the wonderful job he did. Keep up the great work!!

This tour was one of the highlights for us during our Aug 4th to 15th stay in Cairns. Our driver (Man Tsui) drove us up through the Rainforest making a couple of stops along the way for a scenic viewpoint and Lake Barrine. At the lake we had a guided boat tour (saw several Amethyst Pythons) plus tea at the teahouse (with home-made jam and cream). Then on to the farming Tablelands and Herberton Historic Village. This former tin-mine site had a wonderful collection of period buildings, cars, and machinery. The return trip to Cairns in the evening featured a stop at Granite Gorge where we got 'up close and personal' with Rock Wallabies. Throughout, Man showed his knowledge of the area by tying in the history to the geography to make a total picture of what we were experiencing. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get a more 'rounded' view of Cairns and area than is offered by one-site tours.
