Hunter Valley Private Day tour

Constance_T, May 2019

It was a lovely tour. Ranki was very knowledgeable about the wines and the wineries in the area, and we enjoyed each winery we visited. The problem was the car was too small for four people. There was not nearly enough leg room. And the 2 hour drive home was miserable. It would be fine for 2 or even 3 people.

Response from Host, Feb 2021

Thank you for your review. We have changed the tour vehicle soon after your review and we use a small luxury van with 5 captain's chairs with a leather interior from now on.
