Such a brilliant experience. Our tour guide - Millie - was very knowledgeable and so much fun. Had us all laughing so hard we forgot how hot and sweaty it was. Highly recommended

Today we had a wonderful tour with Des, who was witty, knowledgeable, and with a great ability to gain quick rapport with the whole group! We walked away from the tour with so much more appreciation for what needs to happen to our sugar cane before we find it as sugar on the supermarket shelf! This was a great tour,with tastings as well, and we came away pleasantly surprised - with a fairy floss- at how much we enjoyed it!

We absolutely loved this tour! It was really informative and our guides kept us and our two young children thoroughly entertained. The tastings were great and the kids loved the fairly floss at the end too.
