On time. The driver was friendly and helpful. Made everything easy. Will use this service the next I am in the Goldie.

On time

Sarah_b, June 2023

Arrived on time and delivered us to the airport in plenty of time to catch our 6.45am flight. Clean mini coach and friendly staff.

Good transportation

AnnaMaria_N, June 2023

On time and quick to the airport. Very friendly driver. Only concern was we had to call to get the pickup time as it was only sent the morning of our departure.

Not. Impressed

John_A, Apr 2023

There wasn’t any - driver wasn’t pleasant and was cranky because I didn’t answer phone - he forgot we had just got off a plane having been travelling all day from Perth and didn’t have time to turn my phone on as I was making sure we were on time to catch our ride and we were. We said 9pm and we were there just before 9. He drove very fast and wasn’t very helpful at all considering we had never been to Burleigh Heads before and had no idea where our accommodation was.

Great service and company

Driver arrived in good timing and the subsequent trip to the airport was prompt without any further delays. Professional and friendly. Arrived well in time for my flight.

MAZ MP, Jan 2018

I stayed at the Ibis Hotel in Brisbane. However, the place where I was dropped was quite a walking distance away. It would be better if in future, passengers could be dropped off nearer to the hotels. Thank you.

Diane_J, Dec 2016

The tour itself was great! Driver extremely polite and on time. BUT the person we spoke to in order to confirm 24 hours prior to departure was VERY VERY CONFUSED. She kept saying that we were to be picked up from the Gold Coast Airport instead of our hotel. After spending 30 minutes to explain on the phone, she sent me an email confirming that we were to be picked up FROM THE AIRPORT AGAIN! So......we spent again alot of time to get this right!

Karl, Feb 2016

The driver was 25 mins late. I reached the airport with only minutes to spare before the checked baggage counter was closed.

We were booked with other pick ups...

Maria C, Jan 2016

We were booked with other pick ups. The agent regarding the booking was a bit rude. She didn't try to accommodate our request given that we were trying to book a later time. She understandably was saying that we would be risking the time citing accidents or traffic. The way she had phrased it is somewhat diabolical.

The Gold Coast Departure Transfer...

Regina T, Jan 2016

The Gold Coast Departure Transfer went very well, found the driver at meeting spot at airport, he was very friendly and helpful. The driver on return to airport, met us on time at motel and he too was very friendly and informative, the service was excellent would book with Viator again, there were no problems.

Margaret W, July 2015

I do not understand what you mean? I did not stay on the Gold Coast for a tour or holiday. I live here and just used the Airport transfer to get me to Coolangatta Airport. I found the driver very rude. The day I departed I asked him to drive around to my where my unit was as it was raining. He complained because he said he could not turn around but then after I got in the bus I directed him to a spot in front of the underground carpark where he could turn his bus and trailer around. I hate using this tour operator because of this and sometimes it takes me 1!/2 -2 hours to get home from the Airport. Also some of their buses are very unstable and uncomfortable. I often worry if they are going to break down. The buses seem so old.

Pick up was very punctual and got us...

Carl M, June 2015

Pick up was very punctual and got us to the airport on time. Had to wait an hour when we arrived for others before we could head off but that wasnt too bad as it gave us a chance to grab lunch. Would book again :)

Our driver was late.. No...

Rebecca C, June 2015

Our driver was late.. No communication or explanation. We were disappointed. But thankfully made check in on time for international flight!
