What was fantastic is that everything was pre arranged for us and our Guide Grant had us on time at each location! Our guide was also fantastic and very knowledgeable and engaging! The size of our tour was also great as it was smaller therefore more intimate! The light house tour was fabulous encompassing all the beautiful views of Bruny! Highly recommend !!

Iain was a terrific host! We had a lovely day and enjoyed our time with fellow travellers from around Australia and overseas. Good wines at stunning venues, great gin and excellent luncheon. Would recommend this company and tour for those looking to have a relaxing day.

We thoroughly enjoyed the day trip. We were picked up on time by Alex our driver and guide. Alex was very knowledgeable about the beautiful areas we visited. It was fun and relaxing. It’s a long day but definitely worth it!

Great itinerary and commentary along the way. Super comfy bus that made regular stops, tastings and views - we saw a white wallaby and a wedge tailed eagle.

Everything about our day was fabulous: pick up , driver, historical spiel, chosen wineries, scenery, company, beautiful lunch, toilets!
