Paronella & Herberton Experience - We were picked up by our driver MAN on time in his van for a day tour of Paronella Park & Herberton Historic village. MAN was an excellent driver & full of information on the area extremely friendly & courteous. Paronella park is beautiful, our guide Janela was extremely informative. They offered umbrellas for guests which was very helpful. The cafe had delicious scones with jam & cream & coffee. Our next stop was Herberton which was about 1.5hrs drive through the tablelands. Herberton is a real step back in time and is set out so well and a leisurely walk around is a must to take it all in. They also have a cafe & lunch if needed. As we were only a small group of 3 we decided not to go to the wildlife park & MAN was always stepping up with other suggestions of where we may like to stop. Our day was wonderful and we would recommend the tour to everyone.

Paronella Paradise - Loved, loved Paronella Park. Could not believe the size of it. The history behind it was very interesting. Very worthwhile to see it as it was on my bucket list and it exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this. Loved Historical Herberton with the traditional damper and the authentic Australian bush meals provided for a small charge. Great village and well worth the look.

A personalised trip with a real difference - We had a personalised tour with Man. He provided lots of preamble to a wonderful experience at both Paronella Park and at Herberton historic village. He allowed us sufficient time to enjoy both places. A truly memorable day!
