Great Hot-Spring experience, our time there flew past as we moved from pool to pool. We were given an overview of what to expect by our excellent tour guide, Nathan, who drove us out from Melbourne. Nathan was great, with his commentary during the journey, relaying facts about the local areas we passed through.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We love hearing about your fantastic experience with Guide Nathan - time really does fly when you are having fun! Thanks for reviewing us, we hope to welcome you back on tour again in the future.

Great tour filling the day with three different settings. Guide Perry was great, informative and friendly. Drive out to Arthur's seat was comfortable. Great views. Wine tasting and lunch at Green Olive was excellent. Topped of with a nice relaxing sit in thermal pools at the spa. Would reccomend upgrading the spa to get the no children area! Three activities at a nice gentle pace and a great guide aswell. Recommend.
