Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Best day out!

Apr 2021 • Couples

This tour exceeded our expectations by far! The food was incredible and the wine and gins and rums are so yummy. The tour guide Dale is the loveliest guy and has heaps of fascinating stories to listen to as you drive from place to place. The people at each stop are also so lovely and really appreciate your business. I would recommend this to absolutely anyone heading to North Queensland - I’d even suggest you travel to Port Douglas just to do this tour! Thank you so much for such a wonderful day. Well worth the money - in fact you should up your prices!!!

Food and Wine local fun!

Nov 2023 • Couples

Fun day driving through the Atherton Tablelands, sampling local fruit, damper, wines, liquor, liquers, nuts, delicious lunch of croc, kangaroo, and more. Expert guide Chris and his co driver, Boson, (man's best friend) gave a unique and rewarding informational day out with local knowledge and stories across the day. Thank you Chris . Having done the reef and the rainforests earlier this week, this trip was a perfect end to bring it all together and sample the local inland fare.... highly recommended. Thx, Scott and Andrea, Sydney

June 2021 • Solo

Absolutely awesome experience discovering the Atherton Tableland's food and wine. As a chef this is a must for lovers of fine foods, dairy, tea, coffee, wines and spirits. Our guide Dale had a vast knowledge of the history of the area which I found a thoroughly enjoyable and added to the experience. I would definitely recommend this tour and look forward to returning in the near future with my son's who are also chefs, to experience this incredible tour.

Had such an amazing day with Joe, he was highly entertaining with wonderful commentary and informed knowledge throughout the whole day. My personal favourite was the Gallo cheese and chocolate stop, absolutely Devine. The breathtaking views of the Atherton Tablelands is something I will remember for many years to come, just WOW.

We were picked up from our hotel by the knowledgeable Dale who drove us all day even through heavy rainstorms. Dale took us to fantastic destinations where we enjoyed local fruit, damper, black garlic, nuts, jams, chocolates, wine, gin, whiskey, coffee, yabbies, crocodile, kangaroo etc., all the while giving us the history and local stories from the area. AMAZING

Feb 2024 • Couples

Although this is a long day, you are suddenly back at the hotel wishing it could have gone on a bit longer. Each of the stops is well thought out and provides a truly local experience. Weather it's a great breakfast, local liquors, fruit wine, gourmet lunch, cheeses, ice cream, local gin, chocolates, tropical fruit..... more wine .... and now my memory of all the other things eludes me. To top it all off you drive through some truly amazing country side and have informative and entertaining commentary throughout. Given all that you get and see this is a very well priced and memorable must do during your stay in Port Douglas

Due to COV-19 our tour from Port Douglas was combined with. Cairns so be prepared for a longer day with Dale (aka Daryl or Dave) and his Dad jokes! He showed a wealth of local knowledge across our seven stops to keep everyone entertained and the diversity of food and wine made for a very interesting day. Highly recommend!

I attended the tour last week. Brett is truly amazing and pleasant, but I wasn’t sure why the winery we visited was selected. The winery was below the standard of any winery I have ever visited. I still had a good time, but this part of the trip should probably be improved.

Hi there, thank you for your comments in regards to the tour :) The wineries in the tropics are only fruit wines as it is too hot for grapes so it is very different to the usual winery. The winery has changed ownership since we first started to visit and we are looking at other options.

Hi Wendy, thank you for your enquiry. We have a small step we can bring with us to help get in the bus -which is not high anyway. All the stops are easily accessible,no steps and walking is at an absolute minimum -she wouldn't even be the oldest we have had out on this tour!! Let us know what day you would like to go and I can book it in for you,only need your accommodation details. Cheers Brett
