Great introduction to Cairns and surrounds - A wonderful afternoon, with so much to see and enjoy for every member of the family. Chris, our tour guide was very knowledgable and very entertaining as well. He was able to answer all of our questions. We were taken all around Cairns to experience the sights and history of Cairns and enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea with scones and jam and cream. We thoroughly enjoyed this afternoon tour and the office staff were so accommodating in organising this afternoon tour for us and ensuring we didn't miss our on this tour.

Great orientation trip - Very interesting and educational. Our guide Chris took us thru part of the botanical gardens and was able to tell us a lot about many of the plants. The scones were delicious! If you order the lemonade, it's Sprite, not lemonade. We covered a lot and I'd highly recommend it early in your stay in Cairns just to get oriented.

Best of Cairns - I can’t say enough good things about this Discovery Tour. We sampled almost everything that Cairns has to offer. Botanical Gardens, Museum, Palm Cove, tea and scones, and more. We were seven in the group. The driver/guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. I was impressed by his botanical knowledge. Excellent overview of the city, its history, its economy, its geography. Thank you,

Cairns - We got a good overview of the city and its surroundings.
The bus ride was interrupted again and again for a short walk,
this was a welcome change.

Nice Cairns discovery - Chris the guide, in addition to being very friendly, is a keen connoisseur of vegetation. The tour is relatively exhaustive but very fast, we do not spend much time at each location but we see a lot of very nice things about the city.
