A pretty good deal overall. Bob, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable of area and local history which made the sightseeing even more fun. We had a great time getting to know Bob and he accommodated most of our photographic needs. I would recommend this tour for anyone that wanted to see and learn more about the area.

A well organised tour, comfortable bus, and, best of all, an excellent driver, who has a wealth of knowledge, imparted in a humorous and entertaining manner. Well Done!

Fantastic in comparison with Bryon Bay, Honey Tasting & Tropical Fruit World tour. The driver Mick was awesome, knowledgeable, friendly, sympathetic & talkative.

Really enjoyed the canal cruise and Natural Bridge at Springbrook N.P. It was a nice drive in a rural area, too. Did not like the fact that even though the ad said we would be picked up from local Gold Coast hotels, we had to make our way to a central pickup point, miles away, which added considerably to the price of the tour.

Tour content was good. The local tour company was not accommodating and the tour guide needed to share more tour information and less personal experiences.

This is a great way to see the Gold Coast if you are pressed for time. However, you don't have time to swim in any of the beaches or hang out. We wasted time by dropping off people along the way in 3 different locations. The rain forest was a sad sight, dead trees and leaves, and crowded. Lunch was awful in a mall food court of all places!

A good tour if you do not have the time or the means to travel to the Gold Coast on your own.

Amazing way to see the Gold Coast and enjoy so many different parts of it! Attentive staff and they are also very informed! Beautiful scenery. Perfect for those traveling without a rental car or who prefer to let someone else do the driving!

I think one can do this trip on his or her own.

Brilliant, loved the river cruise and lunch at Coolangatta. Coach driver was very knowledgeable and friendly.

I decided to do the tour because I didn't have enough time to see the east coast. It was really worth doing it because I could see Surfer's Paradise and the Gold Coast. Mt. Tambourine was okay, but could have been better.

Review by: Philip R, Australia	June 2007
If you want a drive to see the buildings and how the rich people live in surfers paradise without the hassle of walking everywhere the drive and cruise was great. The scenery of Mt Tamborine was awesome, as was the shopping at gallery walk if you didn't want to go to the waterfall.
