Loved it!

We had a great time on this tour with the wonderful driver Anil. He was very knowledgable and the van was so comfortable! We loved the Sew Sew Winery the best by far - the owners are wonderful and did such a great tasting session - full of knowledge and happy to answer all our questions! The fire was amazing too! Thank you (:

Operator response

Thank you, Michelle! We're so glad you had a great time with Anil and enjoyed the Sew Sew Winery experience, we'll be sure to pass on your kind words!

Only just got my bum on the seat!

Good trip, driver good, not too chatty. Good variety of stops great lunch. Minibus was new but very cramped seating for tall people

Operator response

Glad you enjoyed the trip and lunch! Sounds like the stops were a good mix, though the cramped seating might’ve been uncomfortable.

Disappointing.

We were a group of 5 people who travelled from Melbourne and booked this tour as part of a 50th birthday celebration. We were supposed to have lunch at Oxenberry Farm wines but due to some unforeseen issue they had to change the venue at the last minute and took us to a cafe in a shopping centre next to Coles. When we should have been drinking wine and looking at a beautiful view, we were drinking water and looking out at a car park. We would have been happy to eat at any of the other wineries we visited, none of which were very busy but apparently this wasn't an option. Between the 5 of us we paid almost $1000 for this tour and while I understand that unexpected events make changes to the itinerary unavoidable at times, a Plan B more in line with what we thought we were paying for should have been found. We've contacted the tour company privately to express our disappointment and request some sort of compensation for the winery lunch we didn't receive but they keep saying they'll speak to management and no one ever gets back to us. The choice of lunch venue really impacted our enjoyment of the day, and for the company to then ignore our feedback is very unprofessional. Make sure you confirm your itinerary at the start of the day to avoid the same disappointment.

Operator response

We're truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, especially on such a special occasion. We understand how disappointing it must have been to have the lunch venue changed at the last minute, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this caused. While unexpected circumstances can sometimes lead to changes, we completely agree that the alternative should have been more in line with what was originally planned. We also regret that your concerns were not addressed promptly, and we appreciate your feedback. Your experience is important to us, and we will be reviewing this matter internally to ensure better communication and contingency planning in the future. If you'd like to discuss this further, please reach out again, and we will do our best to assist.

Local area trip and down to Victor Harbour.

It was essentially a chauffeur service to locations with very little commentary. Ok price wise with one person but in hindsight with two or more a hire car would have been better, cheaper and saw places at our own pace. Liked the “Cube”, but again could have driven there. For a whole day trip would have been great to be provided with a 50 cent bottle of water but was ok as we brought our own.

Operator response

Thank you for your honest feedback. We apologize that the commentary wasn't as extensive as you'd hoped. For larger groups, a hire car can be a good option. We appreciate you highlighting the Cube and are happy you brought water!
