Join a micro-group of just 8 guests for a relaxing, rewarding and stimulating tour full of scenic diversity. Birds eye views of cities, vast farmland, famous wine regions, extinct volcanoes, coastal icons, shipwrecks, rainforests and winding cliff top roads. Add to this some great food and wine and small group of like-minded travellers and you have a very memorable 3 days. The itinerary has been carefully planned so that you will take in many different experiences while keeping the schedule at a comfortable and relaxed pace. The first part of this tour through farmland on route to Naracoorte Caves and the Coonawarra wine region is less visually spectacular and is therefore done at a faster pace to allow more time on the Great Ocean Road. Traveling in a small group of no more than 8 people will also allow you more time at places and a more personalised experience.

Inclusions: 2 nights accommodation, Breakfast, Breakfast, Dinner, Dinner, National Park fees, Wine tasting, Live commentary on board, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Transport by air-conditioned minivan

Exclusions: Lunch, Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase)

My friend and I booked this 2 day trip to Daylesford as an impromptu addition to a weekend in Melbourne. It was just the two of us, and our guide, Jurgon, tailored the trip as we went to suit us as he got to know us. Jurgon was a charming, thoughtful and knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed two “hatted” dining experiences in the one day and over the weekend a mix of landscapes, history, cider tasting mixed with some interesting local artisan shops and experiences. By the time Jurgon left us at the airport we felt like old friends. Both of us agreed we’d do it all again in an instant.

It felt like our group was ticking the tasks on the tour at points it felt like we were having an experience similar to that you'd find in a taxi :(. Our guide didn't give blurbs about the signifigances of many of the larger stops and could've been more clear about what we were doing on the ferry/cruise. Lunch is a big grazing box probably built for two but it's given out one per person so go there hungry or BYO doggy bag. The bewry should be made optional as our group was not interested in beer tasting although the location was pretty.

Lateisha was most professional and a considerate guide. She provided interesting and valuable historic and local information about Geelong, and paced the walk to match my reduced fitness which I appreciated. I really enjoyed the tour and learned so much more than I expected to.

An experience not to be missed. A day of beautiful scenery and wildlife observations and great food. Kris is a very informative guide who knows the history of the area visited on the trip and takes you to places other tourists don't get to see. Highly recommended.
