Tania our guide was great. It was my 60th and I was looking for a little company that offered great value for money and I got it. The wineries we went to had great wines and were very pretty. We even went to a little boutique distillery where we got to sample some interesting liqueurs. We didn't know exactly where we were going at the start but as it turned out two of our stops were on my bucket list to visit. We all had a fantastic time with heaps of laughs. COVID restrictions had been eased in Queensland recently and we just had to sanitise and sign in at each venue and that was great.

This was such an incredible tour, I can't recommend it highly enough. Craig is an amazing guide. He is extremely knowledgeable on the local areas plus very entertaining with a great sense of humour. We had a sensational lunch on the beach, saw great sea life including turtles plus kangaroos as we drove off the beach. The beach drive, coloured sands, Rainbow Beach, Double Island Point it's hard to choose which was the best bit. It was a truly incredible day.

We arranged 4 private customized tours to the Yarra Valley, Great Ocean Road, Phillip Island and Mornington Peninsula. All our guides - Jessica, Julie and Francois, were wonderful. They were so friendly, great with the kids, knew all the best spots and good food, and totally flexible accommodating our preferences and leisurely pace. We tasted wine and fed wallabies, saw little fairy penguins, visited a chocolaterie, went strawberry picking, lunched at a vineyard /olive grove, and tree surfed at the Enchanted Adventure Garden. Highly recommended for anyone that wants an alternative to the run-of-the-mill package tours.

We joined Matt on his online bushwalk as a special activity for our mostly migrant adult leaners and their teachers. As a group of Melbournians in the middle of lockdown we especially appreciated the magnificent views, the trees, the feeling of fresh bush air, the off-track experience and Matt's fabulous commentary. He made it enjoyable and educational for all of us and I would highly recommend this tour for a taste of the Aussie Bush!

Definitely not a bus tour, with a maximum of four guests per tour, rather, The Secret Vines Experience is an exploration of the best of Port Macquarie’s local wineries, (and eateries) providing a truly authentic and personalized experience. Guests travel from their accommodation in a luxury Audi, then we take the picturesque laneways to local working and historical vineyards. We can visit regional cellar doors ranging from larger, well established wineries to small artisanal vineyards.

Inclusions: Bottled water, Snacks

Adrian was an exceptional host. Knows his wines knows his venues and took us to some great places. Day was brilliant. Adrian not only takes you to great places he has great information on the whole area. Well worth a visit and make sure you have a lunch at the Little Fish. Was some of the best food in Port Macquarie. We’ve done Hunter Tours and this one was more personalised and the price was incredible as well. Thanks Adrian.
