Dave took us to Eumundi markets today. He was punctual, friendly, welcoming and efficient. The trip was made even better with his informative banter throughout the journey. We would thoroughly recommend his services to those back in New zealand. Thanks Dave for a wonderful day today.Martin Lesleigh and Paula

We took the Eumundi Markets Group Transfer Tour on Saturday 7/9/24. It was perfect. We were picked up from our accomodation at Noosa Lakes Resort and dropped off at the market. Three hours at the market was just the right amount of time to see everything. We were then picked up and taken back to our accomodation. The bus was clean and comfortable. The drver was polite and friendly. We avoided any hassles with parking around the market. We thought it was well worthwhile and would recommend it.

We had a great tour yesterday with Rob and we enjoyed some magnificent scenery and towns that we had not experienced on previous trips to the Sunshine Coast Rob was a very attentive and professional driver and tour guide who went out of his way to ensure all of the people on the tour were well catered for. We were on the food and wine tour as well and all four experiences were great. The cheese tasting, the wine and beer tasting the chocolate factory and last but not least the Christmas in July lunch at the stunning Secrets on the Lake where both the food and the venue were outstandinga highly recommended tour and thanks again Rob for making it an extra special occasion
Response from the owner: Thank you David, what a lovely review to read, we'll be sure to pass on your feedback to Rob who I'm sure will appreciate your kind words. We hope to see you next time.

Where do I begin. Jan picked us up from our hotel and I knew from the moment we met her we were in for a GREAT day. We felt so welcome and safe with her gentle reminder "seat belts on please". Our trip 'the scenic wine and food tour' was more than we could have expected. Jans cultural knowledge was exceptional..the places we stopped for photos and walking through the rainforest area were just wonderful. The food & wine tour was 5 star...beautiful venues to experience tastings of chocolate, cheeses, wine and then a magnificent 5 star 2 course lunch...we did not want the day to end. I was in the travel industry for 40 years and I can honestly say Jan is an absolute credit to your company and I will promote Coast to Hinterland Tours to anyone who comes to the Sunshine Coast.
Response from the owner: Hello Sharyn, thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to leave a full review. As the owner of the business. I have to agree. 100%. Jan is a true asset to the organisation. We are so glad you enjoyed your day with us and we certainly hope to see you next time.

We travelled up north and discovered this marvellous organisation! This was the first time we had done a tour led by someone else as we like to be independant when travelling. So we were a little cautious at first but Mark and Geoff were thoroughly professional and full of knowledge prior to the tour and during. We were extremely impressed and not only will recommend but we will be back again soon with more family and friends! Thank you Mark and Geoff!😀
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your kind words. It was our absolute pleasure to show you our piece of paradise.

Having had a positive experience many years ago visiting Eumundi Markets with Mark/Geoff, I was happy to rebook with them recently to visit the markets again. Three hours is a perfect amount of time to explore all the stalls and have something to eat. Rob was the perfect host and has great knowledge of the area. Highly recommended.
Response from the owner: So wonderful to see you visiting once again, i’m biased however I understand why you’ve returned to the Sunshine Coast 😁👍

We had the absolute pleasure, for the 2nd time, of booking Coast to Hinterland Tours for their fabulous 'Scenic, Food, Cheese and Wine Tour'. We had the lovely Jan to escort us as our Tour Guide and Mini Bus driver. The Hinterland scenery was spectacular and the quaint little villages, chocolate factory, cheese & wine tasting and the lovely 2 course lunch at 'Secrets on the Lake' were all absolutely amazing. It's so easy to book online. A special thanks to Mark, who went out of his way to make sure our Tour still went ahead, after several people cancelled at the last minute. And a big thanks to Jan. We thoroughly recommend Coast to Hinterland Tours.
Response from the owner: Thank you David, what a lovely review. Super glad you enjoyed our Scenic Food and Wine Tour and equally pleased we were able to run the tour for you so as not to miss out.

Truly enjoyable experience. Eumundi Markets is the best market I have ever been to in Australia. Full of unique and beautiful artisan items. Rob of Coast to Hinterland Tours looked after us well and safely. He is very knowledgeable and very passionate about sharing his local knowledge of the area. Highly recommend this trip.
Response from the owner: Thank you Shirley, Rob indeed is an asset to the business. I trust your retail therapy was well worth it :) Thank you for booking with us.

I went for a tour with Geoff and Mark to Brisbane. Everything went smoothly and I had a great time! Geoff and Mark are very knowledgeable and were able to answer all my questions. Both are very friendly and the vehicle was spotless. Highly recommended if you are looking for a great tour in the beautiful Sunshine Coast.
Response from the owner: We really appreciate you taking the time to wring a review Lumir, hope to see you onboard in the very near future 👍

Honestly can’t recommend this company enough for a tour! I’ve done three with my friends now and every time it’s a blast! Just did a private one for my 30th and everyone loved it. Owners super friendly and helpful, drivers are so lovely and accomodating.

12/10 would definitely recommend!

This has to be the best tour company I’ve dealt with! Ticks all the boxes, super helpful to organise trips, amazing and accomodating drivers, locally owned. I’ve done three tours and highly recommend them to anyone who’s asks… my friends and I will probably be back again next year 😅

Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for the most enjoyable day on Sunday.

It was really nice to just be our group of four. I hope we behaved!!!

The information and your knowledge of the area made for an informative session of things we did not know about the area.

The venues where we stopped for the cheese board, the wine tasting, lunch and chocolate tasting were superb and extremely pleasant and accomodating.

Thank you also for arranging the “private” viewing of the Possums Cabin at Secrets on the Lake. Absolutely beautiful.

I am sure we will be back again for a different excursion sometime!!

Once again, thank you for making it such a memorable day.

Kind regards

Martin & Terry

We booked a private tour as part of an overseas visit for a small group, Geoff was amazing and the day was an experience not to be forgotten. A highly recommended tour company.

My friend and I went on your Scenic Food, Cheese, Wine tour on Tuesday 11 Oct. Our guide was Jan.

What an EXCELLENT tour this was. The Tour exceeded our expectations and it was value for money. We enjoyed the diversity of the tour.

Jan was an EXCELLENT Guide. She was so friendly, polite, VERY informative, and a lot of fun. We both had a ‘top day’. Thank you Jan.

I would definitely recommend this tour.
