Tour Overview
Australia’s favourite playground, the Gold Coast, is no longer just for surfers. Our Eat & Drink the Gold Coast experience ticks every box for discerning foodies in search of the perfect day out.
With pick-ups included within from Brisbane, Gold Coast, Tweed, and Byron Bay regions, your first stop is an eye-opener. Set right beside Burleigh’s famous surf break, Rick Shores is one of Australia’s most sought-after places to eat, and you’re about to find out why.

Don’t just take it from us…
Absolute best time celebrating my 30th birthday! So accommodating and organized I didn’t have to do much at all on my side which was so nice. Amazing stops, Alex is an absolute legend taking us around. My group had the best time. Can’t wait to book again!
One of the best things we did on our holiday. We had Alex as a guide and what an absolute legend!!! Nothing was a problem had so many laughs showed us around some epic distilleries and brewery’s and just had an afternoon that we won’t forget. If you have the time whilst you’re in the GC it’s a must do! I promise you’ll have a blast. Can’t wait to go back and do it all again.
Huge thanks to Drew and the team at Kiff & Culture. We had a great day on our Gold Coast tour - especially loved that you arranged the best table at Rick Shores restaurant and kept on schedule without feeling rushed. Looking forward to booking more tours in the future with you guys.
First class hospitality and a delightful day out. They use their industry connections to your advantage - we got the best seat in the house at Rick Shores and a private distillery tour. The food, the views and the service were incredible. If you want to live like a local, hit up the best spots on the Gold Coast and have an epic day of fun, feasting and drinking then you can't go past these guys. Thank you!
