Best Tour Guide in Oz
Published on Feb, 2025
We are friends traveling from US and we’ve taken half a dozen or so tours.
Chris H was the best by far.
His enthusiasm for his job, friendliness, and SAFE driving was appreciated.
He gave enough trivia without feeling the need to talk the whole time.
He played good music without making us listen to local radio which cuts in & out.
He was considerate about time & even drop off & pick up.
Highly recommend this tour and maybe try to request THIS guide (Chris H) because the guide can make or break your tour.
Bob is great
Published on Feb, 2025
The tour was amazing. Our guide "Bob" is so fantastic. He told the history and fun fact all the way, meanwhile, he tried to keep everyone safe and satisfied. Love him!
Fun day
Published on Jan, 2025
Was good and having fun. From pick up until drop off everything was easy and smooth. This trip was good for people who have plans for the late afternoon. The ride from the train is so scenic and green. The guide was funny too, his name is Terry. Was a lovely guy too.
