Enjoyable day trip

Carlos_D, Nov 2024
Enjoyable day visiting wineries. Vehicle was a bit dated but clean and comfortable. Our driver/guide James was good and got us there and back safely and made an effort to ensure that we saw some kangaroos in the wild. Wine tastings were very good and informative. Lunch at the pub was good and at a nice pub. Viator decription listed national park fees included in the detailed list of inclusions but there was no national park on the itinerary.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you Carlos for your lovely review. I am glad James looked after you well and you enjoyed the wonderful vistas and wineries of the Hunter Valley. Thanks for pointing it out, but here are no National Parks on this tour , and I will correct this typo. Mike

Hunter Valley Wine Tour and kangaroos!

Laura_T, Aug 2023
Private tour to the winery. It’s about a 2 hour drive each way with beautiful scenery. We did wine tastings and a cheese tasting which were all wonderful! We stopped for lunch at a local restaurant which was delicious! We were able to see over 30 kangaroos with multiple mobs of kangaroos near the wineries. We stopped near the road one time and saw a kangaroo with her baby in her pouch… it was so amazing! Just a wonderful, relaxing day trip from Sydney. Would highly recommend!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you for this wonderful review. I am delighted that we had such a lovely day exploring the very best of the Hunter valley wine region...& getting to see so many Kangaroos too :) Mike

Day Trip to Hunter Valley

Joshua_S, May 2023
Mike was very accommodating with our day trip to Hunter Valley from Sydney. He was able to pick us up straight from the hotel, and took off straight to Hunter Valley. While it's a long drive, Mike provided unique insights in to life in Sydney and Australia. Once we arrived, the wineries that he had picked were very good, as well as the lunch spot which he modified for dietary restrictions. It would be great to stay in Hunter Valley, but if you are in Sydney and are looking for a day trip for wine, this is a great value for the price.

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you Joshua for your nice review. I'm so glad you enjoyed your day in the lovely Hunter Valley Wine region. Mike

Great Visit to Hunter Valley

Joseph_C, May 2023
We were picked up at the OPT cruise terminal after our cruise on Princess and had a great day visiting Hunter Valley wineries. After the tasting, we were dropped back off at our hotel in Sydney. James was a safe driver and was very knowledgeable about Sydney and the different regions as we drove up and back.

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you Joseph for your review. I am delighted that you enjoyed your time in the Hunter Valley and that James looked after you so well :) Mike
