We went to Hunter Valley with Jim on Sep 14 and it was a truly fabulous experience - Jim’s very friendly and enthusiastic, and his breadth of knowledge of the country and the wine region is so impressive! We had a really fun time on the caravan with his explanation along the way. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who’s planning on visiting Hunter Valley! The itinerary is very well planned - really chill time spent in the 3 independently run wineries and the cheese factory.

We had a great time on this tour thanks to our amazing guide, Scott. He really went above and beyond and made sure everyone was having a good time. He is very knowledgeable and friendly, sharing lots of history commentary about Australia, which we loved. We visited 3 wineries as planned and even spotted some wild kangaroos on the way. Scott stopped and made sure everyone had a pic of a Kangaroo, which was a bonus of this trip! :) Thanks again, Scott for making this a memorable tour!

We had a fun day out with an interesting and knowledgeable guide (Jim). We were accompanied by a very friendly group of fellow travellers. We visited three small wineries with a wide range of wines, tasty cheeses and an interesting pairing of chocolates with wine. Lunch was fresh, hot and tasty. The journey was quite long, so be prepared for about two hours each way. The bus was clean and comfortable.

The tour guide is funny, talkative and experienced. His hospitality made the trip even more memorable. Can see the sightseeing spot has been carefully chosen to give the best experience to the guest.

We had a great day and everyone from 23 to 81 enjoyed the trip!
