    We had a wonderful trip. We were first picked up at our hotel by Shane, our guide and driver for the day, who took us through the origins and history of the city of Melbourne. His extensive knowledge of its history was extensive and fun to listen to. First stop at the Healesville Sanctuary was informative and enjoyable. Helen, the volunteer guide at the sanctuary was lovely and entertaining. Her depth of knowledge of both the plants and animals in the sanctuary was impressive. She showed us around as much as she could, and even had us feed the different types of birds there. The bird show was totally awesome too. Our questions were always promptly answered and we really appreciated that.
    We were then picked up again by Shane, and headed for the wineries. His knowledge of the different wines, their respective aromas and undertones was truly amazing. He was not only well versed in the history of each of the wineries but also of Yarra Valley. He was a great help to us amateurs who knew little about the types of wines. Lunch at Yerring Station was of good quality and delicious. It was paired with a glass of wine of our choice, with Shane offering useful suggestions which was greatly appreciated. He was cheerful, warm and friendly, attentive, helpful and very passionate about wines. In all aspects, both of them were wonderful and excellent guides. We absolutely enjoyed ourselves. Time allocated for all the individual stops and activities was adequate and the pace was not rushed nor too long. Once again, thanks for the really fantastic time!

    My family thoroughly enjoyed the trip to yarra valley. Rob was a great guide and patient to show us the sights. Since we were the only group booked on this timing, Rob picked and dropped us off at our hotel. Highly recommended.

    My wife and daughter got the pleasure of being shown around by a lovely man named Bruce. Who was a wealth of knowledge that he shared with my partner and daughter Ella they had a fantastic time talking with him and learning along the way couldn’t recommend it more.

    First of all, Robert Lorenzon was an incredible tour guide! The bus drive, touring the Healesville sanctuary (Alison was the volounteer guide, and was amazing), then the wine tasting was extremely well thought out which made it one of the greatest days ever! Highly recommended!

  6. Marilyn_M

    Our day with Shane was beyond exceptional. His knowledge of Melbourne and the Yarra valley was shared in abundance. He was considerate & pleasant while maintaining and professionalism. The 2 wineries we were at were given tasting and wine / cheese pairings were amazing. The Healsville Animal Sanctuary was very educational and the volunteer guide, David, that Shane arranged for us explained the Sanctuary’s focus to us. Overall I can’t say enough good things about Shane and this tour!! Highly recommend.

    Tour and tour guide (Robert) was excellent. Small group size permitted a more in depth experience both at the wineries and the animal sanctuary. Highly recommended!

    Rob was a wonderful guide. He was very informed about the wildlife, the scenery and the wines. This tour was a highlight of the time we spent in Melbourne. Beautiful wineries, interesting wildlife and a relaxing day!

  12. Nancy_W

    Everything was amazing. Cam was fantastic, not only with driving the van, but providing details about the wildlife along the way and wine selections at lunch. It was a fantastic day. Highly recommend.

  13. Denise_B

    This tour was wonderful!! Even though it was a hot day and we were part of a group of 10, our guide , Paul, made sure we had the best experience.
    He arranged for a guide at Healesville Sanctuary who was nice and provided some good information but seemed to go at a slow pace. With so much to see and not much time, we ended up going out on our own.
    The wineries were great. We had plenty of time to enjoy the wine and lunch at Yering Station. And the cheese and wine at DeBortoli was amazing.
    Paul was an excellent guide. He provided lots of information and answered all the questions. He even sang for us!!

    Small group. Plenty of time to experience everything. Very educational. tour guide knowledgeable and friendly.

  15. Tanagra_M

    I want to start by saying that Robert (our guide) was amazing and his knowledge, kindness and disposition made the tour and the experience so much better. It would not have been the same without him.
    The Sanctuary was magical and the wine tasting/lunch at Medhurst was out of this world. Wrapping it up was a cheese/wine tasting at De Bortoli winery that made me cry from joy more than once. Highly recommend this tour.

  16. KingYee_L

    The small size of the tour allows us to have some flexibility and gives us more chance to talk to new friends from different countries.
    Overall time management was good. The volunteering guide in Healesville Sanctuary was really nice and the quality of the wine tours was great too.

  17. Eduardo_H

    The best combo: wildlife and wine experiences. Honestly, the restaurant offered 5 stars food and the wines we tested were really good.

  18. Diane_P

    Our driver/guide was Paul who owns the business and is passionate about giving you the best experience for your day. His knowledge is excellent and especially covering the winery visits. The lunch was in wonderful surroundings and good wine/food. Fellow travellers were enjoyable to meet and a fun group. At the sanctuary we were guided by Barbara who was able to give an insight into the animals at Healesville making the most of the visit. The two wineries visited were in lovely locations and good tastings especially with a cheese option. This is an excellent tour which combines two of Australia’s attractions and certainly worth considering if you are visiting Melbourne.

  19. Jonathan_S

    A great tour! Our guide Rob was friendly, engaging, and knowledgable. The animal sanctuary was lovely and the wineries were very enjoyable. A DELICIOUS lunch as well! Thanks for such a great day!

  20. Richard_A

    The sanctuary tour that Jeff gave. Robert’s humor and openness made the my solo trip with another groups seem like someone was with me.

  21. Jennifer_S

    Rob was an excellent guide. We learned so much about the area. The views were spectacular in the Yarra Valley. And the koalas were our favorite.
