Highlights
- The Original Eumundi Markets - The Markets only operate on a Wednesday and Saturday. On Fridays the tour visits Eumundi Square which is a mini version of the Markets at the same location. You can’t go the Sunshine Coast without visiting the Markets which has been operating for over 40 years and now has over 400 stalls displaying mostly local produce and craft.
- Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve - This excellent facility will give you the best views of the Glasshouse Mountains and Brisbane in the distance. This is a brief stop with just a few minutes to look around the facility.
- Montville Visitor Information Centre - This artist village has grown into a major tourist destination with a eclectic range of art and craft. Recommend you grab a cup of coffee and browse the shops.
- Noosa Main Beach - Our main destination for the day this is one of Australia’s premier tourist districts and beach. Set next to the National Park this picturesque district is a “must see”. Visit the upmarkets shops, take a stroll or swim at Main Beach. Stroll along the coast to the Noosa Heads National Park. Plenty to see and do.
- The Ginger Factory - To break our journey on the way back from Noosa we will have a brief comfort stop at the iconic Ginger Factory. Take a walk through the rainforest, browse the gift shop, or grab a coffee or ice cream.

Great trip, Bruce was a good driver and guide too. - The market had over 300 very eclectic stalls, very busy but easy to see everything. A great friendly vibe, would recommend a visit.
Noosa is truly beautiful, wish we'd of had more time there though. 1.5hours wasn't enough for us.

Great tour outside of the city. - We went in an overcast day, but it was still enjoyable. The markets run rain or shine. The tour guide was knowledgeable and funny.

Great tour, highly recommended - Great tour, lots of shopping opportunities with local suppliers and a great cross-section of Australian products. Noosa was amazing with a surfing event ongoing.
Driver was a great tour guide with lots of history about the region.

Great day out! - I had a really nice time on this tour. Not a long stay at each place, but good to get an idea if you would like to go back and spend more time at a certain place, or just get an overall look at a few places. Personally, I would go back and spend more time at Mary Cairncross and Montville, but was not a big fan of markets or of Noosa; but thats just me! So it was a big help in deciding my next little trip away. Ginger Factory was more for a comfort stop, but lots of goodies to buy there too. Driver was awesome fella, very friendly and helpful.

The trip was informative... - The trip was informative and interesting at times.
I found that Bruce’s commentary at times was hard to hear, he had a lot of information to impart but at times listening was difficult.
The timing for the trip was well managed and the timetable was adhered to well.
It would have been better if we could have spent more time at the Ginger Attraction, certainly not enough time for ice cream (the ginger and macademia nut was amazing) and looking around the shop.
I would recommend the trip but be prepared to keep to the timetable as there is little room for deviation.

Most stops will just touch and go. - The coach is small for 10 tourists on the day trip. Few tourists were on the “big” size and I felt cramp and uncomfortable. There are quite a few stops and most is 50min to 90mins. I will not encourage this tour if you want something more relax. The weather is also too hot!

Poor Sound System in the Van - Bruce needs to upgrade the audio system in his van. I was siting behind him and could only get about 30% of what he was saying because the volume, although set at the max level, was too low and his commentary was being covered by the AC noise and the road noise, and he did not use a headset. Two days later I did another Viator tour with another driver's van of the same size and I could hear everything that the driver said; he had a proper headset and the volume level was adequate even in the back of the van where I was sitting. So an upgrade of the sound system should be doable. Not being able to hear Bruce's commentary made the day trip a lot less enjoyable.
