  It rained almost non-stop throughout the tour, and we were late getting back to Brisbane because of traffic but I still had a great time. We did and saw so much in just one day from a visit to a rain forest, shopping in Montville and Eumundi Markets and a beautiful coastal hike in Noosa National Park. You wouldn't be able to do this all in a single day if you went on your own. Thanks Shane for being such a patient and knowledgeable guide.

  The pick up point at Roma street was difficult to find as there is more than one bus shelter, but once on the road this was a great day out. A short stop at the markets was long enough for me. The cruise along the river to Noosa was pleasant with informative commentary. At Noosa we had the option to having lunch or stroll along the crowded beach. Back on the bus to Montville, a beautiful town with quaint shops to browse. Pademelons were spotted at Mary Cairncross reserve which was a real treat and the view from the lookout was spectacular. Heather our tour guide gave a wonderful informative narrative of our journey and as I was the only person booked to go to Eumundi, she gave me the option to join the rest of the group to Noosa. This was a great day although very hot and humid.

  Be prepared to either see the market or do the actual tour because you will not have time to do both. It was a great disappointment to have 20 minutes - yes 20 minutes at this amazing market, however had I not sacrificed the market, I would have missed Noosa. Stu the driver took the group to Noosa River Head which was amazing and worth the drive, but some things could have been managed better to give more time at the market - for instance - picking up late comers up at their hotel who didn’t make the appointed meeting time or place - this would never happen in any other instance. The quality of the tour was compromised with poor time management that started at the beginning and snowballed til the end. This was a very long day with not much time at the places the tour highlights. And bring water and snacks otherwise you will be very unhappy and hungry! Not recommended for children.

  Our tour did not get off to a great start - first of all it was a little confusing to find to meeting location, there was no signage or rep to meet us. After being advised to arrive early, the bus ended up being an hour late in picking us up, we received text messages to explain but only after the estimated times had passed (three times!). I understand traffic and accidents can't be avoided but it was still frustrating. The day improved once we got on the road, Eumundi Markets were fab but we only got 1hr - just enough time for a quick look, Noosa was beautiful, Moniville again beautiful but barely enough time to enjoy a coffee and the shops. Rainforest walk was nothing special and would have gladly given it up for more time elsewhere. It was lovely to see glimpses of the Sunshine Coast, but due to the late pick up and Australia Zoo drop offs it did feel a little rushed. 4 stops is too many I think. Booking system also needs work, didn't work online and the phone booking didn't come off very professional. An email confirmation would be better than a text message. Overall a good day after the delayed start

  Frank is a very good tour guide. He is nice and passionate. Noosa is a great place that I recommend the most. I really enjoy the trip in sunny today.

  Had a great day visiting various places. Our guide Paul was exceptional. Could have stayed a bit longer at eumundi markets but would not have fitted everything else in. Reflecting on time management would have light snacks on the run at each venue instead of wasting time sitting down for quick lunch. Especially monteville. We didn't get to see much. Also found it hard to find meeting area to catch bus in Brisbane. Hotel Jen was closed. Totally recommend going by q tours.

  came here last week, even though it rained through out we had a great time, some brilliant handcrafts, locally made and yummy food stalls, it may be a little expensive to shop here but your getting the best of what's on offer in this area. something there for everyone, thats for sure. plenty of parking. get here early so you can browse freely.

  Went with a few friends and we picked the full tour starting at 7:45am and returning at 4:30pm. There were about 14 of us on the bus/van and the van was comfy enough to take a nap on the 1.5 hour drive up north. The tour guide Frank had plenty of history to share about Brisbane and our destinations. My overall review of the content of the trip, was that we didn't have enough time at each location, it was truly a tasting tour, meaning you are spending about 30 minutes in each location: - 45 mins Eumundi markets (lots of jewelry, food, it was okay.. I would not spend more than 1.5 hours here) - 20 mins Ferry ride to Noosa head (could also drive, Ferry ride was okay) - 45 mins walking around Noosa (wish we had more/any time to swim and explore) - 30 minutes Montville (there were a few shops and we found some food...this stop felt rushed) - 35 minutes at Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve and lookout to Glass house mtns (not enough time to do a full walking loop). Bring bug spray for leeches. Also bring a gold coin as a donation to the reserve. If you are looking to check things off your bucket list, this is a good tour for you. If you want to enjoy your time and soak in the culture and atmosphere of each area, I would suggest you only pick a few items and focus on truly being present in the experience rather than being herded across the country.

  Earlier in the week we had taken the train to the Australia Zoo, and being a visitor in Brisbane we did not realize the Eumundi markets were out past the zoo. The van/bus QTours provided may be fine for quick zips around Brisbane, but is very cramped and NOT comfortable for a 1-2 hour ride there and the same back back. Though the driver did provide some historic commentary, as we had taken the free walking tour at the Brisbane info center, were did not learn anything new. The market stop was very good, but that had everyhting to do with the market and not QTours.

  The weather was not so kind to us during our day trip to Eumundi Markets and Sunshine Coast but our ever friendly guide Frank made up for the gloomy weather with his good information about the area and his funny comments. We sometimes wonder how he could still handle the mini van marvelously despite having to drive and providing us with the info at the same time! I went for the trip with my younger sister and her two sons.who "secretly" referred to him as "Uncle Frank". Thank you very much Frank and keep up the good work. Best regards from the Nor Family - Malaysia
