Fabian our driver was unfailingly cheerful and accomodating. The vineyards chosen were smaller and less well known; we were usually the only guests present, so we were able to chat with the hosts at our leisure.
We are travelling with 2 young children. Most of the tours to Hunter Valley only allow adults, so we decided to book this private tour. The whole trip was well planned and Chris, our guide, was very friendly. We all enjoyed the whole day, as we visited 3 vineyards as well as the Hunter Valley zoo for the kids. The trip can be customised which is extremely important to you.
Recently took a Hunter Valley wine tour with Cloud 9. Greg our guide was awesome, filled with lots of great knowledge of the area and brought humour with his talks. The wine region itself is beautiful. Greg took us to wineries that had that special feeling of still being family owned. I highly recommend Cloud 9. Cheers once again.
We had a great day in Hunter Valley and definitely developed a greater appreciation for Australian wines. Coming from the California wine country, we already knew a lot about wine--but we surprised how much we DIDN"T know about wines from this area. (Let's just say that the U.S. doesn't always import the best from Australia.) This is a must-do activity if you have time.
Greg was the best possible tour guide, his energy and enthusiasm for Hunter Valley and the wine industry in general was absolutely unmatched. I would highly recommend Greg & Cloud 9 Tours to anyone looking to experience Hunter Valley and everything it has to offer.
This was a great tasting tour, going to lesser known but top rate vineyards. Thanks for a fun and informative day.
Highly recommended private tour of the Hunter Valley! My kids wanted to visit an alpaca farm in the Hunter Valley during our recent trip Down Under. I wasn't sure if I could find a private tour agency who could do this for us given that most tours to Hunter Valley are focused around the wineries. But James from Cloud9 was so helpful in putting together this trip to the alpaca farm (Starlight Alpaca Farm) and combined it with a cheese tasting to make the most of our time in the valley. Our guide for the day, Greg, was so friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. The kids loved him by the end of the day and one week on from our tour, they're still looking for their 'Uncle Greg'. I later learnt from Greg that this was in fact the first time they had taken a group to this particular alpaca farm. So if you want to do something off the beaten track, don't hesitate to check them out. The vehicle for the day, a 7-seater Mercedes was clean and comfortable. Definitely book these guys if you want to have a memorable day out in the comfort of your own vehicle!
The Hunter Valley Tour was fabulous! Myself and 20 other girls went on a tour and it was so well organised by James! Our tour guide Greg was a legend and was so good at rounding up the girls (challenging after a few drinks!). All the wineries we visited were excellent and the added distillery and chocolate/cheese stop was super fun! I’d recommend going on a Cloud 9 tour for sure! We’ve already booked a Blue Mountains trip for next month.
Celebrating with my sister and her friends for her Hens weekend and getting to visit 3 beautiful wineries and a cheese and chocolate shop as well was amazing, but a big thank you to Greg our bus driver who made it so special and so entertaining for everyone ! He really is a beautiful human and a great guy to drive all the girls around the Hunter Valley !
A hens weekend wine tour with Greg - he was the best! So friendly and enthusiastic. He made sure we got to each stop on time, without making us feel rushed. And even was our photographer for the day. 10/10! Make sure you ask for Greg when you book!
