Support small local business - Had a great time on this tour. Bridget was a fantastic guide, informative friendly chatty enthusiastic. More a food tour than wine tour but had some interesting fruit wines and some great gins. The food was plentiful and very good. The tour clearly support small local businesses and I was really pleased I went.

Tasting Adventure Delight in FNQ - My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our full day Tasting Adventure to the Atherton Tablelands. Our driver and guide Bridgit was very pleasant and knowledgable, thank you Bridgit. We really enjoyed the variety of spectacular scenery, breakfast, lunch and local treats featuring a huge variety of local produce which would rate highly anywhere in the world. We also appreciated the extra effort of our pick up and drop off from Trinity Beach.

....AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. - Absolutely stunning day out. So much variety of foods and drinks. Met so.many friendky and interesting people. Very different experience for us. We would never have found these out of the way places on our own. A tour is only as good as the fellow guests and the tour guide. Bridget was the best ever. Seriously, what a personality and couldn't do enough for everyone on board. It's not easy to talk for almost 10 hrs and retain the interest of all on board who played their part and interacted so well. A shout out to Sarah, Rosa and Ian. We saw a lot and learned a lot. A genuine 5 star experience. Mike and Dot.

Best tour in Australia - My wife and I both agreed that this was the favorite tour of our Australian honeymoon. Brett was incredibly funny and informative and the local eats/drinks were fantastic. Couldn’t have asked for a better time.

Atherton Tablelands (Food and Booze) tasting tour 🥰 - Excellent day with Bridget as our brilliant tour guide for the day. Extremely knowledgeable and so much fun. Plenty to eat, drink and see. A full day of entertainment. Do not have dinner plans for the same day, you won't need it. Highly recommend this experience.

A Journey Around Cairns - Bridget was a fantastic, enthusiastic, and informative guide. This is an all day affair where you will get to learn about the wonderful region around Cairns with tons of history and facts about the wildlife you may encounter. Get ready to eat and no two stops are the same, you’re going to get a taste of everything this scenic and enchanting area has to offer. Highly recommend!
