Summary: First of all, I consider myself really lucky that, from all the options available online, I have chosen Tony's Tropical Tours. It was a small group tour, so we had the opportunity to make the most of the day wherever we went. Our tour guide-Chris, was the best person to have, which made the whole experience even more exciting and adventurous. He was always so cheerful and full of life. He never let us get distracted. Such a knowledgeable and passionate man. Thanks to Chris and Tony's Tropical Tours for making the Daintree Tour a success and, unforgettable one.
