We had a wonderful trip to Gold Cost with one of the bast tour operators. Gary gave us a lot of suggestions and optimized the day to fit our expectations. We saw koalas, kangaroos and pelicans up close. Very impressive and amazing. Strongly recommended.
Thanks Mark for your awesome review, It was a great day and your group were all lovely people - I hope we meet again,
I can say this is a brilliant option I have made. The local service provider, Adventure Day Trip- Brisbane, driven and guided by Gary, gave my family a beautiful gift, snacks and drinks for the whole trip today and he really did a wonderful job for us. He was flexible with the time and places we had suggested. He could show us so many beautiful places to see and for photos since morning until evening. Although our trip was back for about 45 minutes later than planned, he gave us for free. Gary is really kind and helpful. That’s our fortunate experience to get his services today in Brisbane where we just came to visit for the first time. In overall, it’s such the best trip I’ve ever had and completely enjoyed the experience of the whole trip today. Finally, I strongly recommend this one day trip to everyone who comes to Brisbane for leisure and wish to take an adventure day trip.
OH wow! I am so happy that you enjoyed your experience with us. But what makes it easy is when we host beautiful people just like you and your family. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Brisbane andthat 2025 brings you the very best that life can offer .
When I booked the trip I was not aware that it was going to be a personal tour. Gary picked us up from the hotel and took us to Mount Coot-Tha which was not included on the original iterenary. Because it was our first time in Brisbane and we had not been there Gary just took us there. He suggested that we change the vehicle to a comfortable car instead of the bus as we were only 3 people. We switched to a luxury sedan Toyota Magenta which made the ride even more enjoyable. The trip was for Gold Coast but we got a tour of Brisbane as well. Gary give us a lot of valuable information and took us to all the great locations and gave us ample time to walk around. The tour officially ends at 5 but Gary didn't mind extending that a bit by taking us to a brewery on the way back. He even shared an itinerary for our Sydney trip. Highly recommended. Special thanks to Gary!
Thank you so much Vithal for taking the time to extend your thoughts by way of this review. It was a please to take you and your family around Brisbane and the Gold Coast. I was so impressed with how respectful and appreciative your son was toward you both. He is an absolute gentleman (just like his Dad) Take care and I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Australia and especially the cricket in Melbourne and the fireworks in Sydney. I hope you return one day to Australia's most beautiful city again--- Brisbane. By the way, I'd love to know your honest opinion of your favorite city in Australia since most of our past travellers get back and tell me it's Brisbane after when they weigh everything up. take care Vithal, happy tarvels, Gary
