We had such a great time today on our tour with Warrick (tour guide and owner). He was extremely knowledgeable and took good care of us, he even had a cooler on board for any items that may need refrigeration for the day long trip. Every stop we made for tea, wine and spirits, macadamia nuts, chocolate and cheese, was... More

This tour is a must when you stay in Cairns! I stayed in Clifton Beach and the tour operator Warwick arranged a cab that brought me to the meeting point for the tour (the other guests were picked up by Warwick in Cairns). The cab was free for me and I really appreciated this service! On the way to the... More

We just returned from our full day Food Trail Tour, conducted by Warwick, the owner/operator of the tour. Of all of our tours in Australia over the past 3 weeks, my wife and I found this to be the most relaxing of all. We were on a small bus with a lot of opportunities to get to know the other... More

Very unprofessional company. We phoned and booked our trip over the phone with tour operator Warwick and we were advised we would be emailed confirmation of our booking. Nearly a week went by and nothing. We then contacted tried to contact Warwick, no luck, we then contacted a company that also deals with Food Trail Tours, and we were advised... More

I am sorry you are disappointed. It does make it hard to sort things out once another website company gets involved, and claimed you were their customer. As explained, that's when things went horribly wrong. Once again, all I can say is sorry. Warwick More

The cool thing about this day-tripping food trail is that it combines showstopper scenery (iconic stops like the Lake Barron crater lake and the huge curtain fig tree) and the history of the Tablelands with the obvious drawcard of the food and coffee tastings. The family-owned coffee plantation and roastery run by the delightful Malobertis was a highlight, and our... More

Picked up on time. A great way to spend a day. Informative, lots of humor and plently of bathroom breaks. The coffee tour is a highlight with some sensation coffee tasting. There was also a great lunch and afternoon tea included as well as a scenic rainforest walk. This is a small group tour and as such feels very personal... More

We were promptly picked up at our hotel by Warwick and the most wonderful day unfolded. This tour cannot be beat, Warwick makes it continually interesting by his sense of humor and knowledge of the farm, food, wine, coffee industry. The small cafe where we had lunch was excellent. In fact, the steak was one of the best I have... More

Our guide Warwick was a great guide. His knowledge helped us enjoy the experience even more. The places we visited was amazing, and the food and coffee was the best I have had. I would recommend this tour to everyone that visists, its a great way to see what the local growers have to offer.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day - the sites were well chosen, the tour guide Warwick was very friendly and knowledgeable, we brought back really awesome coffee, chocolate, nuts, and wine (would've bought the cheese too except we couldn't take it on a long-haul flight), and the afternoon tea by the lake was fantastic! It was well worth it - I... More

This tour does a lot, but it is a good length and doesn't feel rushed. Warwick is very knowledgable and personable. He goes out of his way to help with anything you need. The quality of the bag you receive for your goodies is better than I expected. You learn a lot and get to see working farms which wouldn't... More
