Super trip up the Tablelands - Picked up from our hotel (Casino) and we instantly knew the trip was going to be entertaining. Brett was full of knowledge about the towns and the entire trip kept all 12 of us involved. Highly recommend this trip you won’t be disappointed.

Best food and wine tour from Cairns - This tour was an amazing experience. We were picked up at our hotel by our driver and tour guide Chris, and taken to our first stop of the day, breakfast at Gillies, about an hour from Cairns. One of the things that we liked about the tour was that distances between stops were short, and there were rest stops at every one. Chris is a great driver and guide, and his commentary was very informative, and he didn’t try to hurry us at each stop. Each stop was timed pretty well, except that Gilliie’s was not ready for us, although there was a reserved sign on our table for 9:15, and we arrived before that. The food was very good though. The rest of the tour went off without a hitch, and we loved all of the tasting samples. Lunch was very good. Really enjoyed the kangaroo skewers and prawns. The platypus were a no-show, but you can’t expect wild creatures to show up on demand. The gin at the distillery was very good. Large selection, including a liquor made from blue agave, which resembled tequila, but they can’t call it that because that is a Mexican product. We finished up with ice cream, and got back to our hotel on time. I’ve taken many other food and wine tours in Australia, and this is one of the best. Highly recommended

Highly, highly recommend Brett's Outback Tasting Adventures! - Brett's tour was awesome! Brett is very knowledgeable about the area and passionate to support the local economy. His engagement with our group was great. I would highly recommend this tour. We were amazed at how much we did in one short day. We saw a little of everything...and tasted a lot of great food!

What a magic day - What a fantastic day. Can’t recommend this tour highly enough. It was a wonderful day. Beautifully paced, did not feel rushed whatsoever at any time. Chris is warm and friendly and genuinely cares for his tour group members and does everything humanly possible to ensure everyone enjoys themselves on the tour. All included stops had very friendly staff. Servings were generous and definitely not skimped on. The day was magic. After doing many tours, this one stands out as one of the best. I’m fairly certain even if someone is a bit fussy and has high expectations they would be absolutely delighted with this tour.

Don’t hesitate to book this tour! - A great day out with tour guide Chris, who kept us entertained and shared lots of knowledge about the Tablelands, its agriculture, and food producers. All the food and drink was great as was the scenery. Chris managed our group efficiently but we never felt rushed. It was a very congenial group of fellow travelers too. Well done!

A truly fantastic dip into what the Atherton Tablelands has to offer. - We had a fabulous day out with our tour guide, Brett. He’s lots of fun, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about this stunning area of FNQ. Brett took us to seven places we’d never have had the same experience at, had we simply driven around the area ourselves. If you love meeting interesting people, sampling delicious food, buying high quality locally made products and produce, and supporting local artisans, then we can’t recommend this tour highly enough. Thanks Brett for a truly memorable experience! We can’t wait to come back and visit with you again. Cheers, Leanne and Dave (the not so accurate bend counter)

Fantastic day - Brett and Andrea provided a great experience. They were both very knowledgeable and friendly. The day was well planned and ran smoothly. I can't think of anything they could improve on from the experience we had. The food was great, we got to try lots of foods and saw a lot of the Tablelands. We even saw two platypuses.

Money well spent :) - We went on this tour today with Chris as our very friendly and welcoming tour guide. We had an amazing experience and went to so many places we could never have been able to see otherwise. I would totally recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Cairns and would like to see a bit more outside of what this beautiful area has to offer, especially if you’re only here for a couple of days. It was very good value and time well spent.

Fabulous in every detail - I had high expectations that were exceeded. The journey up the twisty highway was fine, some might be a bit uncomfortable, but Andrea drove carefully and all was well. The stops were fabulous. Very generous with tastings. Chris entertained and informed us all the way which was a bonus. We had some truly delicious meals and experiences. I would recommend this to anyone interested in food and the Atherton Tablelands.
