    Crystal was a phenomenal tour guide. She was knowledgeable, engaging and a great chauffeur. We would love to travel with her again. The wineries visited were excellent and the wine was tasty. The presentationd were informative and increase my knowledge of winemaking. Thanks again to Crystal.

    Tod was the tour guide to the winery trip and he was by far the best in the industry.
    Highly recommend!

    I’ve been lucky to visit the Hunter Valley a few times, but this tour with Dave’s was truly the best we’ve done. Visited awesome wineries, learnt so much about wine and had lots of fun along the way. Greg the guide really should us a great time!

    It was a beautiful day with a great tour guide Todd who made the experience so comfortable with his sense of humor and knowledge. All the tastings were nice and offered a good selection.

    If you are looking for a wine tour in the Hunter Valley this is the one! The variety of tastings from the three beautiful wineries and distillery was great. Lunch was delicious. A bunch of photo opportunities. Our tour guide Crystal (Dave) was amazing! Very knowledgeable and fun. She got us around safely and effficiently. Highly recommend!

  7. TERENCE_M

    Well organised trip. Crystal our tour guide was fantastic. Knowledgeable and funny. It was a long but glorious day.

  8. Jamie_T

    Learned a lot about experimental wine and had the extra experience of seeing the kangaroos resting under the trees. Cheese and chocolates were divine!

  9. Joseph_L

    Todd was a great guide, very knowledgeable about the wines, vineyards, and how they’re run by the owners. Nice pacing of the day, and the whole group went home happy!

    We visited 3 wineries, 2 of which were quite good (Oakvale and Hunter Wine Lab), while the 3rd one was so-so. The gin distillery served spirits with glitter in them, which felt a bit gimmicky and cheap, and I didn’t find the experience worth our time. The lunch was pizza with salad, which tasted good.
    Unfortunately, the tour has a HUGE drawback which is the van used. It’s a small old van for 11 passengers that moves too much and induces car sickness. To make things worse, we sat on the last row of seats, which was smaller and narrower than all the other seats, and didn’t even have headrests. The seat is absurdly uncomfortable, especially because you spend 6 hours on it (considering the trip to Hunter Valley and back). If the company still intends to use this van, it should either allow only one passenger to sit on it or give a hefty discount for the people assigned to it since it feels like you’re getting the short end of the stick. We later learned that the company does many tours inside Sydney, which would explain the small van, but they really should use more comfortable vehicles for a Hunter Valley tour.
    What saved our day and made us enjoy the tour was our rockstar guide, Crystal. She’s very knowledgeable about wine and the region and was able to give us plenty of interesting information. When we told her about the car sickness and how uncomfortable we were feeling, she immediately passed on our complaint to the management office and checked on us the whole trip. For the ride back, she asked other passengers to switch seats, which made the journey more comfortable for us.
    To summarize, Crystal is a perfect guide for a Hunter Valley tour, and anyone would have an amazing time being in her group, but the company’s poor vehicle makes it hard to recommend Dave’s tour since you’ll be in a tight rocky van for 6 hours.

    A wonderful trip we had to the Hunter Valley with Tod from Dave’s Bus . The choice of wineries was excellent and Tod was very knowledgeable and very helpful . Lunch was also excellent.

  12. Kari_M

    Chrystal has good knowledge and can handle all people, even raudy youngsters. Interesting wine, food and even chocolate pairing.

  13. Mike_M

    Each winery was very unique. All very informative and you are with the people who are actively working the vineyards.

  14. Laura_Q

    This was a great excursion and I would highly recommend it! Collin our tour guide was wonderful and thoroughly knowledgeable of the area and wine! He definitely made the tour lots of fun!!

  15. Robert_S

    Enjoyed the wine tastings and the hosts were very knowledgeable and interesting. However the distillery was disappointing. Not a true craft distillery and disappointing product

  16. EDWARD_K

    Col/Colin/Leni/Dave – All the same person LOL was very knowledgable, funny and interacted with all the guests on the tour. Never rush anyone. The winery’s were fabulous and he was totally correct about the Chardonnay:) The lunch was delicious and accommodated all palates. The chocolate – wine tasting and the cheese – wine tasting was amazing. We will do the tour again when we return on our next vacation. Thank you Col/Colin/Leni/Dave.

  19. Jacqueline_D

    Hunters Valley definitely worth a visit .

  20. Denise_H

    Excellent small wineries, Ander was a great tour operator and driver. The group was small and just wonderful people! A couple got engaged on our tour..surprise! Wild roos in the distance at Satire our first winery!

    One of the best days we had while on holiday in Sydney. Dave’s tours has great vibes, great hosts, and great itinerary. We were able to travel to the Hunter for a few winery tastings, chocolate and cheese pairings, and gin/vodka/liquor tasting while enjoying a breathtaking view. Not to mention my tastebuds keep thinking about the wood fire pizza lunch! Yum! Thank you Erin for all the Sydney recommendations too. Recommend for those that like wine, like good company, and/or liqueur and want to explore out of the city for a day!
