This is an excellent tour from start to finish, suitable for tourists and a great day out for locals too. Warwick is extremely friendly and knowledgable and his constant dialogue is welcome and not annoying, like some tours are. I really enjoyed all the places we visited and the terrain is so diverse it feels like being in four different... More

What a great day! I loved that this wasn't the typical tour, it puts you in touch with true Australian farmers and foodists who all have unique things to share. The tour guide was extremely informative and friendly, and so much is packed into one day- it's a great value for your money. I cannot say enough good things, you... More

Hubby and I recently did this tour and really enjoyed the day. Warwick our guide is a true character and kept up the jokes, facts and banter all day. The good thing about this tour is that you go to some of the smaller operators and actually meet the people who have the hands on day to day running of... More

Lucystarbuck, Thanks for your great review. The food and meeting a few of the locals is what it's all about. I appreciate that you identified with both those aspects. Also thanks for making us your first contribution on Trip Advisor. Happy travels Warwick More

I did this trip because I like to go off the beaten path. I also love food and learning anything and everything about food. This tour was definitely that and more. I learned so much about the area, local economy, and of course food. It also was great supporting the local family businesses. The guide, Warwick, is so passionate, enthusiastic... More

It's terrific to hear you considered the day an "unforgettable experience" and recommend it in so many ways. The farmers will be chafed to hear their products went all the way to New York. Thanks, Warwick More

My husband and I were looking for something that would allow us to see more of the area of Cairns because of the rain forests and came across this Food Trail Tour through Lonely Planet and Trip Advisor. It sounded quite different than some of the other regular tour options, and like everyone else we like eating. The ratings were... More

Being a horticulturist and foodie at heart, I was keen to sample some of what tropical north Queensland had to offer. The tour didn't disappoint, in fact, it was more than I anticipated. It was a small group so I had opportunity to ask all my questions along the way. Good variety of places visited, enough time at each destination... More

We came to Cairns for mostly the diving and the zoos but had an extra day... so we found the Food Trails website and booked a tour.... and are glad we did! Warwick gave us a guided food tour of Cairns, mostly of the Tablelands. He is very positive, kind, and fun! He'll keep it interesting with his random jokes.... More

Absolutely incredible. The guide, Warwick, is also the owner and operator. He was warm and hilarious. Tour groups are very small, and the environment is such that you're bound to make great friends with others on the tour. The tour is full of interesting characters and fascinating places. You'll meet a macadamia farmer and his trusty dog, taste wines made... More

I went on this tour with my partner and our 2-year-old daughter. I was a little worried about how she would cope with the long day but she was great - lots of opportunities to eat food and get out and move around. Lunch and afternoon tea were large portions. The day was just as advertised on the website (no... More
