Eric, our tour guide was courteous and friendly. We enjoyed a very informative and extensive discovery of the City and would highly recommend to all other tourist to do this trip.
A great introduction to Cairns and the surrounding area with Eric, our very knowledgeable and pleasant guide. Despite many stops the pace was very relaxed and included several interesting places we wouldn’t have been to see otherwise. Well worth it.
