Great day tour!

Great day tour when you are in this region very Relaxing. Lunch restaurant do provide dietary requirements. A lady in our tour was shut by the tour guide with rude comments. Pick up/drop off could take an hour in the bus.

Hello Cher, thank you for taking the time to write a review., This is very unusual given our reviews for this particular guide, He is a spiritual person so this does not sound in context for a comment he would make. I am not aware of any incidents and in contrast, we received an amazing Google review for the tour on 13 June from a fellow guest on board. Regardless, I'll be sure to explore this further. "This was the best day and Dale the perfect host. He was friendly, calm and good humoured, with good local knowledge. We went to some wonderful places and ate so much! The Maleny cheese board was huge, the wine generous at Clouds, and the lunch on the lake great. To top it off, we popped into a chocolate factory and came away with a take-home box of delicious samples. In between all this, we stopped off to admire the views of the Glass House mountains which peeped briefly from the clouds, walked around and visited a waterfall. All in all, a fabulous day. Thank you, Dale!"

Glasshouse Mountains with Geoff

Wow this day was amazing... Geoff our guide was the best, cheese platter was sensational, wine samples were plentiful and delicious, our lunch at Secrets was delicious, our hand picked box of Belgium chocolates was very generous. The stops between were breathtaking and the little towns we visited were lovely. Can't say enough about this trip... I will say it's definitely worth the money. Enjoy! Raelene & Chris
