I was discriminated against I suffer a disability in which I have a dog to help meShe is very well behaved the company let me go the first time and I booked again and they said they can't allow the dog due to someone suffering allergies this is a out right lie as the dog I have is a Japanese Spitz in which is allergy free and odourless that's another reason I got this dog as I suffer allergies I find this company very disapointing

We had the most amazing day on the scenic wine and food tour. We end up having a private tour with Geoff and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. The locations were breathtaking and food, and wine experience were Brilliant. We highly recommend and we most definitely will be booking another tour with Coast Hinterland Tours when we are back again.

My husband & I were gifted with this fabulous day from off Red Balloon and we both the best time. Right from the start when we booked we had exceptional customer service from Mark always being able to be contacted when we needed to ask questions. We were picked up from our location on time and Geoff was our tour operator/driver/guide for the day. He was extremely knowledgeable about the areas we visited and was friendly and accommodating. There was only 6 of us on this tour and we thoroughly enjoyed this relaxing day tour. Would definitely recommend 😀

We were picked up by Geoff on time. Geoff greeted us with a smile and made us feel very welcome. As we took off Geoff’s wealth of knowledge begin to flow out. He had an incredible amount of historical knowledge of the area. We got to our destination and felt like locals with the amount of knowledge that had been shared with us. The destinations we stopped at have been hand picked and were all fantastic. The day flew and I can’t recommend this tour enough. Hopefully you’re as lucky as us to have Geoff take you around this great area. Make sure to bring some loose change and pick up some roadside avocados.

Geoff was an awesome tour guide. His local knowledge is amazing and we loved his stories and especially the way that he integrated First Nation legends into these. The experiences were great - cheese tasting was to die for and lunch was awesome. The wine tasting was interesting and of course chocolate tasting was a great way to end our day. A highlight of the tour was also the great sight seeing stops we took on route. All up it was a fab day and I would highly recommend this tour and company to anyone.

An amazing Sunshine Coast tour, perfect way to spend a rainy day. Mark created a customized itinerary including Noosa, Montville (Secrets on the Lake for lunch and wine-tasting at Flame Hill Vineyard). Surprise stops at Buderim Ginger Factory and Nutworks for macadamia tasting and purchase. Geoff was so knowledgeable about local lore and history.. a treat to travel with. Thanks from Melina and Maura (Canada)

We had the pleasure of going on the Sunshine Coast & Noosa Private Tour. There were 4 adults so they provider a mini bus to ensure that we were very comfortable during our tour. Lunch was delicious and Jeff our tour guide was extremely accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great time but he made the trip a pleasure. We are so happy by our experience with this company that we are booking another tour with them. I would highly recommend this company.

A truly amazing tour operator! We booked a private Sunshine Coast Hinterland trip, and had Geoff as our guide. We were thoroughly impressed by the tour and the information Geoff provided. He paid attention to a lot of details such that my mom can't walk for too long and made prompt adjustments which make the trip really enjoyable. Mark replied to my email quickly and provided comprehensive information before the trip. Our overall experience is really positive, and we would certainly contact them again if we are going to have a vacation in Sunshine coast again. Their service deserves more than 5 stars!!!

My girlfriend and I did the rainforest, views and Montville trek with Geoff. Had a great time, such a beautiful area and Geoff was the best guide we could have asked for.

Just returned from Aus where I and my family took a tour of Glasshouse Country with Mark and Geoff from "Coast to Hinterland Tours".Firstly what an amazing place to visit with a fantastic pair of guides they were so knowledgeable they really bought the place alive for us and my eight year old daughters said it was the best part of their trip to Australia so thanks Mark and Geoff!We’ll always look back on our visit to Australia with great memories and that is no small part thanks to the time we spent with “Coast to Hinterland” so a great BIG thank you to Mark and Geoff for making our trip so special.
