Everything was great! Michael was attentive, informative. He picked me up at my hotel and dropped me off. No worry about where to meet! The Skyrail and train are a must for a great view and scenery of Australia .

This tour was one of the highlights of my Australia trip. Michael was an excellent host, organized, punctual, knowledgeable and efficient. I hadn't originally signed up for the Skyrail portion but Michael suggested I add it in and I'm so glad I did, it was amazing. I've been traveling in Australia for 6 weeks and taken a number of tours. This was the absolute best for value and well worth it. I highly recommend it and Michael is who you want as your guide.

Train delay provided us additional shopping and eating time, which was welcomed. Preferred the Skyrail going up over the train coming down because it had better views.
