My husband and I had a fantastic day with our guide Bridget. We throughly enjoyed the food and tastings that were supplied, it was a totally new experience, we tried crocodile and kangaroo for the first time. Bridget was fantastic, she knew so much about the local area, she connected very well with our group, an all round great host!! She was also knowledgeable about the places and people we visited she is a great asset to the company. We will definitely recommend this tour to our family and friends, it is a must see and do tour!!! Thank you so much Brett’s Outback food and tasting tour. 5+ stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Amanda and Josh (vic)
