My sister & I booked a tour to Eumundi Markets with Coast to Hinterland Tours. From start to end the service was awesome!! Mark always responded to my questions and emails so quickly and went out of his way to try and accommodate my requests. However, the best part of the day was our driver, Jan!!! Seriously, what a legend……. She was kind, funny and full of energy!!! She gave us lots of tips on the markets and information on the areas we travelled through on the way there and back. The markets were great, but Jan made it so much more. Thanks Coast to Hinterland Tours 😊
Response from the owner:Thank you, Sarah. That's a lovely review. It was our pleasure.

This company was the most cooperative with my pickup, after I got turned down by 4 others.
Natasha was our driver for the hinterland experience in Malaney and Montville, and even with the rain she was able to give all of us a wonderful day.
She also drove a bus load to Eumundi markets and all of her 'best' picks for food & coffee were spot on!
Highly recommend this company!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Ronda, lovely to hear you had a positive experience and an enjoyable stay on the Sunshine Coast. Many thanks for the five star review. This makes a big difference to a small family business like ours.

Perfect Day Out – Stress-Free & Informative!
The easiest way to see Eumundi! The resort pick-up and drop-off made the day completely seamless and stress-free. Our guide, Tasha, was fantastic—she shared so much interesting local history during our comfortable ride.
The markets were incredible, packed with everything from delicious local flavors to high-quality artisan-made treasures. If you want a relaxing, informative, and well-organized tour, this is it. Thanks for a great day, Tasha!"
Response from the owner:Hello Lee, what a wonderful review. Thank you so much. I have passed on your comments to Natasha. Glad you enjoyed the Eumundi Markets and I hope the rain didn't damped your shopping.

This was one of the best tours we have done. We had 5 adults on this tour.
Peter was so informative and interesting and took us to see some wonderful places that we would not have seen had we done it on our own. All the food we had over the day that was part of the tour was also delicious starting with the lovely chocolate bar we got, then a delicious cheese board. Lunch at Secrets on the Lake was lovely and the restaurant and the views were just stunning.. then it was off to try some wine tasting . And more sight seeing. A wonderful day .Thank you so much Peter you are an asset to the company. To top the wonderful service off, we left our prescription glasses in the van and we rang the next morning. And another lovely driver dropped them off to our accommodation after his tour that day ...Top Service, Top company ,Top Drivers..Thankyou so much.
Response from the owner:What a lovely review. It was our pleasure Noeline, we're super glad you enjoyed the day out with us.

Had an absolutely lovely day trip with this company. Dave was amazing. Really friendly, helpful and a safe, confident driver. Had a great time in Maleny, the cheese platter was delicious as were the chocs! I would have to say the highlight was lunch at Secrets on the Lake! Beautiful food, wine and scenery! Dave’s commentary along the way was really interesting and informative. Perhaps ditch the winery, (wines nothing special) and maybe spend a bit more time In Montville. Thanks for a great day. Can highly recommend this company. Andrew and Sharyn
Response from the owner:What a wonderful review thank you so much and thank you for your feedback regarding the winery. As they say we will take this under consideration. :)

We thoroughly enjoyed the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Scenic Culinary Experience: Discover Montville and Maleny day tour. Our driver, Jan, was very knowledgeable and engaging throughout the tour. Both Montville and Maleny are quaint quirky towns and having free time to explore each was great. Lunch at Secrets on the Lake was delicious and the restaurant (including location) was extraordinary including fantastic views and items of interest. We will definitely do another day tour with Coast to Hinterland Tours when next in Noosa and surrounds.

An excellent day had with a small group of folk from Australia and the UK. Jan, our guide was attentive and knowledgeable giving just enough detailed information to easily understand and enjoy the places of interest we were visiting. She was unobtrusive but also very aware of any special needs of those in the group. Included was a lovely lunch provided in a scenic environment.
No hesitation in recommending this tour to others.
Thanks.

Lovely day out with Rob (our drive) working through lookouts and wineries on the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Fantastic day out celebrating a 50th birthday, loved maleny chocolate factory visit.
The wineries were lovely locations, my only small criticism is you couldn’t choose the wine you wanted to try as that was done for you. Lunch at Secrets on the lake was delicious. Rob was very accommodating getting group pics for us, and joining in on a chat and a laugh. Worth giving this tour a go for a girls day out!!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Donna. That's wonderful to hear noted about the selection of wine to taste however with both vineyards on the coast as a group that's not an option for our group, Tours, unfortunately. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review much appreciated

We had Rob drive us to Eumundi Markets today. He kept us all safe as we came so close to having an accident on the way there and on the way back. If not for his extremely quick reflexes we could all have become a statistic. He handle the situation like true professional. If you could score him 10 out of 10 stars we would. Love your work Rob and thanks so much for saving our lives. For ever grateful.
Cheers Maz and Royce x
We did a second tour today with Dave to the Hinterland. We had a fabulous day. The cheese tasting, lunch at Secrets on the lake and looking through the towns of Maleny and Montville was absolutely brilliant. Dave is a fantastic driver. Very knowledgeable and alot of fun. We visited several lookouts and the views are spectacular. I would like to say this tour is very worthwhile and would highly recommend it.
Big thanks to Dave....you are a top block and we love your work.
Thanks for a truly wonderful experience.
