Helen A - 5/5

Great tour, Gaz was our driver/guide who was just great, funny and had a great way of giving us some historical background and making it all as lot of fun. The wineries were great as was lunch. We really enjoyed our trip out.

Chris was our guide for the day and he was awesome. We had a glitch with the bus air conditioning so we delayed a bit but still did everything on the tour. It was very hot, over 100 degrees Fahrenheit but he took great care of us. All the wineries were fantastic. Would do this tour again definitely.

Jonathan R - 5/5

This trip was great in every sense, except that when did it, the temperature was roughly 40 Celsius or 110 farenheit. Despite the heat, we drank lots of wine, nibbles away on a tiny sample of chocolates, and tasted some pretty good vodkas. Do not ask to try the spicy one, you may regret it haha. You will love the wines so much, that it will be difficult not to buy any to take with you.

What a tour! Fantastic tour guide Daniel was accommodating, friendly and fun. The valley was beautiful (although smokey!) The cheese and wine was delicious and not as over priced as we imagined! This is a fab day!

Melody J - 4/5

The tour itself was great 5 stars, but I took one away for the bus. The seats were small and uncomfortable and no wifi on the bus. The actual stuff we got to do on the tour was great and we had a fun time despite the rain. Colin was our driver for the day and he was super nice and fun. We found this tour to be a good value for the money and probably the best thing we could have done on a rainy day. We even got to see a few wild kangaroos!

It was fun! You got to taste different types of wine. The sceneries were beautiful along the way. Sam our tour guide was very charming. He makes you feel comfortable, always ready to answer questions and helpful. He drives smoothly while eagerly entertaining all of us. It was indeed an amazing day!
