Did the half day, 4 car, 32 lap experience on a Sunday afternoon with one of my adult sons. It is absolutely brilliant. The instructors let you go as fast as you want to, so long as you can keep control. They give you instructions on how to place and control the car to lap even faster - but you always feel safe, and there is plenty of space when you make a mistake. By the fourth set of 8 laps I felt like I must be pushing the lap record and had world best car control - then I had 2 hot laps with the instructor driving! Felt a bit like the Matrix because it seemed to defy the laws of physics. Very fast, lots of fun. Summary: Great staff, great set-up, geat time. Tip: Do as many laps as you can afford because you learn and improve with each set.

Tania our guide was great. It was my 60th and I was looking for a little company that offered great value for money and I got it. The wineries we went to had great wines and were very pretty. We even went to a little boutique distillery where we got to sample some interesting liqueurs. We didn't know exactly where we were going at the start but as it turned out two of our stops were on my bucket list to visit. We all had a fantastic time with heaps of laughs. COVID restrictions had been eased in Queensland recently and we just had to sanitise and sign in at each venue and that was great.

Bought a couples trike tour for my husbands birthday as he used to own motorbikes but due to chronic pain issues he can no longer ride. He loved getting back out on the bike, and we had a great time. Chrissy is just beautiful, so kind, fun and chatty. She showed us the sights of Brisbane and its amazing how much you notice things when your on the back. Chrissy was also very accomodating of my hearing impairment, I wear hearing aid and a cochlear implant, she worked with me to ensure I was comfortable and spoke so I could understand her. Thank you so much Chrissy!

I gave my wife a trike tour for her 70th birthday. Her comment was "This is the best birthday present I have had in 70 years". Chrissy and David were s kind and understanding. My wife is in a wheelchair and they took great lengths to ensure she was comfortable and had a great experience. Highly recommend Brisbane Trike Tours to anyone.
