Knowledgeable guide, tour van desperately in need of new shocks. Wine tasting was too rushed, would have liked more time for tastings and visiting vineyards.
Thank you Deborah. Getting back to the ship on time is a priority so we only advertise one wine tasting so you can also spend time with Aussie wildlife and sightseeing.
Wonderful tour. Bill was one of the best tour guides ever. We had a great experience visiting beautiful Melbourne. The bus van he used was clean and very comfortable for our group. The Moonlit Sanctuary was a highlight. Lunch was at an amazing restaurant. All gratuities were included. Wine tasting was included. Bill was amazing and had a great sense of humor.
Thanks Audrey. Bill will love this feedback, esp. the great sense of humor! Did he tell you what that we call cyclists in Melbourne mammals? Middle aged men in lycra :)
