AI summary of 19 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the knowledgeable and friendly guides who tailor the day's itinerary to individual preferences, creating a flexible and personalised experience visiting attractions such as the glow worms, Skywalk, Curtis Falls and wineries. The most notable aspect of this tour is the hop-on hop-off model that allows passengers to choose their own activities and pace, with guides working around what each group wants to see rather than following a fixed route. A recurring caveat is that the hop-on hop-off format is less structured than traditional public transport, requiring passengers to be flexible and comfortable with changing plans, and that whilst the bus seats only 11 people, bookings take priority over walk-ups, which can limit availability.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
“anthony is the best”
An amazing day, made by our guide Anthony, who was brilliant and so knowledgeable. We can't wait to do another tour.
“Beautiful day out”
A great day out with Antony, who was friendly, fun and full of local stories. The hop-on hop-off style is very casual, so it suits you best if you're happy to go with the flow rather than stick to set times. Mount Tamborine is beautiful and well worth a day trip.
“Smooth ride”
A lovely guide and good transport. Note that activities like the Skywalk and glow worm cave aren't included and are bought separately.
“Great tour”
Anthony seemed a little flustered at first, but it became a great tour and nothing was too much trouble. I fitted in the glow worms, the Skywalk, Curtis Falls and a lookout with time to spare, with great commentary along the way.
“Great way to spend a day on Mt Tambourine.”
A great trip up Mt Tamborine with lots of activities to choose from. Andy, our driver, was a real character who went out of his way for every passenger and knew everything about the mountain.
“HoPo - Mt Tamborine”
Michelle was an excellent driver and guide with great local knowledge. She juggled everyone's plans and knew us all by name.
