Fun, Safe Tour with Knowledgeable Guides - We had a fun time with Graham on the hop on hop off bus to Tamborine Mountain! The drive was safe and easy and Graham made sure we got to hit everything we wanted to do. It is worth noting that the route/order of stops is formed by multiple tour guides who help get everyone where they want to go once you're up on the mountain, so it's helpful to be flexible and to have an idea what you want to do once you're up there (we thought that the cars would run in a fixed circuit like other hop on hop off tours in big cities where we would plan our trip around the route, but the guides will plan the route around the guests!). Also you might be with other guests depending on who else is interested in your stop (though we got driven around just the two of us, thanks Graham!). The one stop the guides picked was the distillery at the end, where they seemed to have a hook up. Overall, a fun trip and so glad we got to see the mountain with a friendly and knowledgeable host!

Great tour! - Our driver and guide, Michelle, was extremely friendly and accommodating, so that everyone in the bus was able to visit the stops they wanted to. I was traveling solo but met other women who were as well - and by the end of the day, it felt like traveling with friends. The day was really fun and easy - trying wines, shopping, and enjoying a beautiful sunset view from the mountain!

The best - Booked Pineapple on last minute basis and they were able to accommodate us . Pick up from hotel was prompt . Sinya was our driver. Ours was a small group and she tailored the tour to our needs and smiled through our last minute changes on what to see in Mt Tamborine. The tour bus was very clean and comfortable. I would use pineapple again and recommend to friends and family.

Incredible experience just do it - Despite initial confusion this turned out to be an awesome day out. Sinya was very happy to work out a schedule that suited all parties. Spent an incredible time up on the mountain, took some amazing photos and had lovely food and drinks. The Cauldron Gin Distillery was a winner as well.

Just do it - The views were lovely and the guide was knowledgeable. The wineries were pretty and had some decent wines to taste. The distillery was great with a bunch of infused products and some delightful Xcellos.
