Nice trip!

Karen_A, Mar 2023

Great trip! Bruce shared so much information and kept us on track the whole day. For me personally, I would have enjoyed more time at all stops, with less time at the beach. The beach was very nice and beautiful. I just don't swim and the sun was intense. But, this trip was exactly as described and a really fun day.

Do this tour!

Celine_F, Feb 2023

The scenic drive, the Eumundi Markets and Montville. Our Guide and driver Bruce was very impressive in many ways and made for a great day!

Rushed, but a great tour

Wendy_A, Feb 2023

Bruce was a very friendly and safe driver! I really enjoyed this day trip, but I wish that we had more time — I understand that we packed a lot into one day, but all of the stops were super rushed. I also had a seat over the wheel well and had to sit in an awkward position, and my thigh hurt for a couple of days afterward :-(. Overall I would definitely recommend the tour, especially if you don’t have a car and want to see the Sunshine Coast!

Nice sunshine’s coast visit

Pascal_C, Feb 2023

Very nice day well organized with the exception of the ginger factory which we only pass through the store without visiting anything. We have seen beautiful landscapes and a super bath at Noosa.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to Review our Tour. All comments are helpful for future guests when deciding tour options. We make it clear that the Ginger Factory is only a comfort stop (for 20-30 minutes). The tour is already quite long and we can't make the stop longer. Regards' Sophie

Sunshine Coast and Noosa

Susan_H, Jan 2023

We had an amazing day we had with Brian as our guide. Our favorite part was Noosa Beach when we walked down the boardwalk. I highly recommend this. I liked how prompt Brian was and when he said we were going to be somewhere at a certain time, we were there! Another highlight was the Ginger Factory but really we enjoyed it all.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hi Susan We are glad you had a good day on the Sunshine Coast. We do a lot of time working out the programs and looks like on this day, it went to plan. Certainly Noosa is the star of the day and one of my favourite places too. Thank you for sending in a Review. Regards Jo-Anne

A ‘tasting’ test of the Sunshine Coast

Penny_F, Jan 2023

Had a lovely trip with a very friendly guide/driver, Bruce. The trip packs a lot in, but you get a good feel for the Sunshine Coast

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hi Penny. We very much appreciate your Review. We do our best to show you as much as we can without rushing you around. Thank you. Regards Jo-Anne

Very nice trip

Brenda_S, Jan 2023

The scenery to Mont Ville and the quaint town.was very beautiful. Noosa was another beautiful area. Driver was pleasant.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hi Brenda, We appreciate you taking the time to send in a Review. Yes both beautiful places. I always holiday myself at least once a year in Noosa. Regards Jo-Anne

We had an awesome tour...

Nicola_B, Jan 2023

We had an awesome tour guide who told the history of the areas we drove through. Only wished we had a bit more at the markets.(only because I love market shopping).

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hi Nicola, Very happy that you enjoyed your day. Always a problem juggling everyone's priority and I know the hour we give is way too long for some and for others just not enough time! Regards Jo-Anne

Something for everyone!

MARY_B, Jan 2023

This is a really good trip. The driver/guide Bruce is a really nice guy. Very cheerful and full of interesting information about Brisbane and the area. The timings worked well and we enjoyed all the different bits of the tour. There was definitely something for everyone and we liked it all. Our favourite place was Montville. We are only in Brisbane for 3 full days and we don’t have a car and we thought it was a good way to see the area around Brisbane in an efficient manner.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hi Mary, Thank you for your review of our Noosa tour and we appreciate you taking the time. I agree Montville is a gem and you are correct our aim is to make it a tour that those with limited time can get to see as much as possible in the time we have. Regards Jo-Anne

Excellent Daytour! Well...

Fully enjoyable trip

Daniel_A, Dec 2022

Very nice opportunity to see nice spots of the Sunshine Coast. Very knowledgeable driver/ guide Bruce. Bit more time in Noosa would have made it perfect. But then you can never have enough time there ;)

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Hi, We appreciate the time you have given us to send in a Review. We agree with your comments about Noosa but we can only fit so much in and unfortunately compromises need to be made. Glad you enjoyed the tour. Regards Jo-Anne

Great tour

Judy_P, Nov 2022

Tour guide Bruce was really informative, made sure we had as much time as possible. The overview of the destinations ensured we knew where we prioritised. Great trip

Great tour, Bruce is a great driver with great local history knowledge. Definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to explore more of Brisbane.

Brilliant

Fabulous day out and would fully recommend this tour. Our driver/guide was really good and all the stops were well thought out.

We do our best to plan the day given the time available and the belief that the majority of guests want to maximise what they get to experience. Kind regards Jo-Anne

Good way to get to the beach and Eumundi Markets

alueken2000, Nov 2022

This is essentially more like transportation than a tour. If you don't have access to transportation and want to see more than Brisbane City, this is a good way to do it. It's about a 10 hour day, and lots of that is spent on a bus. There are essentially five stops, so it moves quickly. Some of the timing at stops felt disproportionate...had too little time at Noosa (beach) (not even 90 mins) but then 30 minutes at a retail Ginger factory which is not that exciting (essentially you can shop ginger products and also buy an ice cream...not actually seeing factory operations). I realize there needs to be several stops so there are bio breaks as the bus doesn't have a bathroom, but it just moves pretty quickly. Not to mention you have to wait around when people don't respect the return time to the bus that the tour guide clearly sets out. The best part of the tour is Noosa (beach town) so if I were to recommend this to a friend, I'd suggest just finding a way to get to Noosa for the day as the other stops (except for Eumundi Markets) just felt like filler.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Hi, Thank you for comments. I am sorry you didn't appreciate the travel through the Sunshine Coast hinterland. For many this is a highlight. We make it clear to guests that the stop at the Ginger Factory is a comfort stop. Regards Jo-Anne

Wonderful Day Trip

Marie_M, Oct 2022

Gary was a wonderful guide. Was great to see more of the Australian countryside. Just the right amount of time at each of the stops.

Great and informative day out

Marie_A, Oct 2022

It was a great tour, but was very rushed. I would’ve loved to have spent more time at Montville and ginger factory. Noosa was far too overwhelming and crowded.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Hi, Thank you for your Review. We appreciate your comments. The day is already nearly 10 hours long and we would not be able to make more time at any of the destinations. Everyone of our stops is popular and we do understand that some would like more time at a particular location while other say we shouldn't even stop there! We do what we think is the best option and compromise. Times we stop at each location are well advertised. Kind regards Jo-Anne

It’s a must

CherylF_M, Oct 2022

Everything about the tour was great. We got to see a broad spectrum of sights and our driver” Bruce” was a hoot. Well worth the money. It’s a must.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Hi Cheryl, We appreciate your comments and rating. We will pass on Bruce's "hoot" rating. Regards Jo-Anne

Great tour

Chloe_B, Oct 2022

Great tour to do from Brisbane! Loved the Glass House Mountains, Eumundi Markets and Noosa. Would highly recommend!

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Hi Thank you for your lovely review. We agree with you - the highlights are definitely the mountain views, time at the markets, and fabulous Noosa. We appreciate your Review. Regards Jo-Anne

Enjoyable

Janet_H, Oct 2022

My daughter and I enjoyed the entire trip but was a bit disappointed with Noosa. Would have liked more time at the Eumundi markets and less time at Noosa. Our driver, Brian was awesome too.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Hi. We always appreciate all Reviews as it helps guests to decide on our tours and what to expect. We give an hour at the markets and we understand it is a compromise. But there is a lot to do on this tour and not everyone is as enthusiastic about markets. Thank you for your feedback. Regards Jo-Anne
