What people are saying about Sydney

What a great introduction to Sydney on our first day. Collin made this a truly memorable experience for everyone onboard. Our pick up process was seamless. Although GetYourGuide doesn’t provide the option, be aware there is another pick up location located near Circular Quay. The drive to Hunter Valley was picturesque and not extremely long. Coll did a great job pointing out important landmarks and assisting us with looking for wild kangaroos. All of the vineyards were distinct and special in their own way. Although we were trying similar wines they all have their own twist that set them apart. They all made each of our experiences special from the cheese, chocolate, to getting a hands on experience on what the fermentation process looks like. Overall I would highly recommend this tour. It’s a good way of becoming familiar with the variety of wine, terrains, and experiences that Australia has to offer for a great value.

I purchased this tour as a gift for my friend who turned 60 recently. We came up from Melbourne for Mardi Gras and World Pride celebrations for a long weekend away. Liz the guide was lovely and did a great job. This was a small group, 4 plus Liz and was perfect. The food was delicious and the information given was great. I would recommend this tour to others. Lovely way to spend a couple of hours

Antoine really made sure that everyone felt safe and had a good time. It was without a doubt a highlight of my visit here. He was very knowledgeable about every aspect of the trip and I really believe it’s one of those once and a life time experiences. Highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful time taking in the magnificent views of Sydney Harbour. The food, drinks and service were excellent again. Would highly recommend this cruise.

Well organised, relaxing 3 hours with helpful staff and a delicious lunch.
