An excellent tour
An excellent tour and a great way to get an overview of Cairns. Dave is a lot of fun and very knowledgable. Dont be lured by the promise of cold drinks for afternoon tea though - it is tea and coffee only unless you pay extra.

A worthwhile trip
A worthwhile trip although we felt too much time was spent at the Botanical Gardens and would have liked more time at the Opal Mine and Royal Flying Doctors Service. The tour guide was very informative and we learnt a lot of interesting information about Cairns.
