The whole trip was well organised, informative and on time. We had a limited time frame however we got to see so much of Brisbane in a short period of time.
Gary was a great host who was genuinely interested in our wants and needs.
I would thoroughly recommend ADT for anyone looking to see and learn about this wonderful city.
Gary took us all over Brisbane, sharing fascinating facts and local stories. He also gave us fantastic restaurant recommendations and helpful suggestions for our own adventures after the tour.
He’s a very personable and genuine guy, and you can tell he loves what he does. The transportation was super comfortable, and the whole experience was smooth and relaxing.
We couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Brisbane. Highly recommend ADT and Gary for anyone looking to explore the city with a local expert!
As shown by my photos, my trip theme around Brisbane was to meet thousands of interesting wild Australian animals as many as possible. Mr. Carson the owner of ADT and his crew Mr. Tsubaki told me or took me to a lot of places full of nature, which are gardens, forests, mountains, national parks, beaches, rivers, and so on. Nevertheless my request was unique and a bit challenging, my trip was completely successful thanks to their rich knowledge and experience!
I’d like to say thank you to them from the bottom of my heart.
Those who are coming to Brisbane, just ask ADT! Everything you need to make your wish come true is there!!
We enjoy the beauty of nature and feel the infinite possibilities of life. Thanks to Gr's company and careful care, we had an unforgettable journey!🥳
It is small tour group that I found easy to get along with other tourists with the guide Gary. He is super friendly and helpful. I have joined the 2-3 tours including Noosa, Byron and North Strade Broke island and it was unforgettable. They offered me water and snacks whatever I needed. I highly recommend this tour for sure. 100% gurantee.
From the breathtaking flower festival in Toowoomba to the stunning views from Mt Coot-tha, and the beautiful beaches of the Sunshine Coast, every trip was a memorable adventure!
Gary goes above and beyond to ensure you have the best experience possible, and he quickly becomes more than just a guide—he becomes a great friend.
I am truly grateful to Gary for providing me with some of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had.
Highly recommend his tours!👍🏻
Recently, I joined the SeaWorld's whale watching tour, and it was truly a dream-like adventure! Witnessing these graceful creatures swimming before us left me deeply moved.
The Yatarapai's steak mushroom was a delight! I enjoyed such delicious food as a post-tour treat.
Also, the availability of complimentary snacks and drinks was a pleasant surprise. It was refreshing to have something to munch on during the tour.

Went on multiple tours with Gary
Stradbroke Island, Alapca Farm, Gold Coast were wonderful!
Thank you, Gary, for the unforgettable day!
Looking forward to the next trip with you ????
The island is well serviced by cordinated bus service and water taxi, so while the kayak adventure is only 2 hours long you can enjoy the beaches and scenery at Point Lookout as well.
