Went by myself
Went by myself, made some great friends and saw some beautiful views. The waterfalls are easy to get to and are great for a quick cool off in the summer. It's a good day trip. Would recommend bringing insect repellent to Howard Springs as the mozzies are abundant.
Spectacular day
Spectacular day. Wonderful scenery. Waterfalls amazing. Driver Ray excellent. Recommend to people to do this tour. Thank you!

Both myself and my wife had a great day out
Both myself and my wife had a great day out, Ted the tour guide was really good telling stories about himself and is mate Billy, great experience when he played the didgeridoo on the bus. The one thing I would like, would be shorter stops at the Bunyan tree and more time at the falls etc.
We had an amazing experience
We had an amazing experience ! A great day visiting wonderful Australian sites. Simon, our driver, was fantastic. He arrived right on time to our hotel to pick us up. His commentary was very informative and he was very easy to talk with. He was also very accommodating and helpful providing cold water to refill bottles and especially when Lorraine fell over, badly scraping her knee, he helped with Betadine swabs and bandaids. I would highly recommend this tour to all my friends, family and colleagues.
Ok
Ok, the tour itself was 5 stars. This is an experience of wonder and amazement. Termite Mounds (Magnetic and Cathedral) and the amazing Falls - Florence, Wangi (pron. One Guy) and Tolmer (I think there was one other). What bought the rating down was the driver Rob. His consistent ums and ers every 2nd word was annoying (whereby we were switching off listening) but also changing what he was saying midway through saying something and then at lunch time, wanted to talk politics - hey we are on holidays here we DON'T want to talk politics (unfortunately he found someone willing). Unfortunately for us this spoilt a great day.
