Excellent way to see the city highlights traveling with a small group
Cheryl was amazing! Loved how she interacted with the people in our small group. She was entertaining as well as informative and treated each one of us like we’re special. She knew everyone’s name, answered questions, placed a lot of humor whenever it was warranted. Loved traveling with a small group in a van. We moved quickly and yet spent enough time at each destination. A perfect way to see the city highlights. Highly recommended

Informative day of birding and getting know about rainforest ecosystem in Queensland
First of all, our guide Anita is a considerable person, who would arrange toilet spot during long drive(not all guide would think of this), and gave us some rest time and Dutch Stroopwafel after birding.☕Second, our birding time in Bellthorpe Stay (which has massive hinterland of low elevation hill) was very precious to us. We never had small group birding and guiding experience together before, but we are glad to spot many native wild birds in real nature environment this time! 🦜(E.g. Noisy pitter, Wompoo fruit-dove, Golden whistler, Black Cockatoo...etc) And they have two lovely dogs!❤️Third, the view of glass mountains in the café of Mary Cairncross is really great! It has more comfort trail compared to Bellthorpe Stay (but we love the more primitive trail of rainforest either), and the Red Cedars there are truly stunning. We heard catbird and other birds all around, and also spot one wild Pademelon having juicy fruit under the rainforest.🦘Although we were a little worry about our science knowledge, birding knowledge and English, before we actually went on the trip, it turned out that we didn't have to worry about it, because Anita was patient and willing to listen and answer our replies and questions. And we're very lucky to have Anita to be our guide.👍(Little reminder: Please remember to apply insect repellent that contains DEET or Picaridin before go into the rainforests. We didn't apply that, so one of us got bite from a tick after the trip.🥲)

It was great to be able to get to places not normally accessible to the general public and to see and learn about the local flora and fauna. We really enjoyed that it was a private tour. It was well paced and the tour guide was outstanding.

We spent the day with Anita. Everything went smoothly. She spotted koalas and kangaroos for us on the way, she had many stories to share about Brisbane and the nature. It was a really lovely day, with a nice lunch at the recommended restaurant and a friendly coffee time in the nature.

Anita really is all that!
Reading the reviews about a guide named Anita, I was really hoping to get her to be our tour guide as she is very knowledgeable about the area, and was I overjoyed to know that she actually owns the company. She took my daughter and I all around to see kangaroos in the wild, the Osprey house, and the coast. It felt like having a day out with a good friend. So happy that we ended our trip with her tour and would come back just to see her again!

Kangaroos, mangroves and the ocean

Wonderful Tour
Lovely tour. Anita was an excellent guide. The highlight was the walk to see the kangaroos and the mangroves. While we didn't see the kangaroos close-up, we did see several mobs from a distance, including a baby showing it's face from it's momma's pouch. We also visited the Osprey Center, had a driving tour of Moreton Island, and stopped for a casual lunch at an excellent restaurant. Anita was full of educational information about the wildlife and plants we saw. High recommend.

Excellent Brisbane Walking Tour
This was a fantastic walking tour of Brisbane. Our tour guide, Cheryl, was very knowledgeable on the history of the buildings, artwork, memorials, and celebrities of Brisbane. She was entertaining and pleasant. She made the experience very enjoyable. We had a great tour of the Regent Theater and shown where a police officer fired warning shots into the ceiling. Saw a blue Wendy's restaurant. We were shown several street artists creations, and she knew all the artists names. Cheryl pointed out that the children's character "Bluey" was created in Brisbane and directed us to the South Bank Parklands where she had an animation of Bluey standing. We ended the tour on the Sky Deck where we had a 360° view of Brisbane. Highly recommend this walking tour, especially with Cheryl.
