Cairns - We got a good overview of the city and its surroundings.
The bus ride was interrupted again and again for a short walk,
this was a welcome change.

Nice Cairns discovery - Chris the guide, in addition to being very friendly, is a keen connoisseur of vegetation. The tour is relatively exhaustive but very fast, we do not spend much time at each location but we see a lot of very nice things about the city.

Excellent introduction to the city - Loved walking round the botanical gardens and the lookout to see all over the city. It was also very informative from a personal point of view.

Learned a lot - Chris was terrific. He's very knowledgeable about the botanical garden sugar production and general Cairns history. I am not usually interested in churches, but St. Monica's was not at all what I expected. A surprise delight!

Great Tour and Reasonable Priced - Was an excellent tour and the driver Chris was amazing and did great commentary through out the tour. St Monica’s church was fantastic the stained glass windows and the story about them was wonderful. All was spectacular but the afternoon tea scones were to die for. I strongly would put it on your list to do.

Great tour - A splendid half day tour. Our driver and host was Chris who did an excellent job in both commentating and providing background context. He was clear and comprehensive and made the tour really informative. Highlights included St Monica's cathedral, the Flecker gardens and the Cairns museum.
