⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a fantastic tour experience with our tour guide, Michael today. He was super friendly, knowledgeable, professional and amazing. He explained everything clearly, shared interesting stories and was always happy to answer our questions. The tour was well organised, relaxed, and enjoyable from start to finish. We truly appreciated his patience, enthusiasm and attention to detail. Highly recommended Michael to anyone looking for a great tour guide. We would definitely book with GoWest again!

Thanks again for travelling with us and for taking the time to share your experience. Safe travels!
Michael was outstanding. Very proactive, caring, and professional. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable all day — from hotel pick-up to drop-off. Explained everything clearly and found the best spots for us. One of the best tour guides we’ve had in Australia. 5 stars!
We had a really enjoyable day and the tour was very well organised. A special mention to our driver and guide, Aleks, who was warm, chatty and extremely helpful throughout. She shared interesting stories and sights along the way, and her great sense of humour made the experience even more enjoyable. The itinerary was well planned, with a nice mix of Puffing Billy, Warburton, the Redwood Forest and Yarra Valley. A couple of small suggestions that could make the experience even smoother: it would be helpful to set clearer expectations at the start of the tour regarding scheduled rest and toilet stops. For example, letting guests know when the first planned toilet stop will be would help avoid unscheduled stops or diversions shortly after departure. The pick-up arrangements could also be a little clearer, particularly when several tours from the same company are departing from the same location. A simple system such as displaying the driver or tour guide’s name could make it easier for guests to identify the correct group and reduce the time spent locating passengers, especially for those who have already been picked up and are waiting on board. Overall, a great experience and Aleks definitely deserves five stars!
Thanks so much for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable day exploring Puffing Billy, Warburton, the Redwood Forest and the Yarra Valley with Aleks. It’s lovely to hear that Aleks’ warmth, humour and stories helped make the day so enjoyable. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to her — she’ll be thrilled to know that her care and helpfulness made such a positive impression. We also really appreciate you taking the time to share your suggestions about rest stops and the pickup arrangements. Clear communication at the start of the day can make a big difference, particularly when several tours are departing from the same location, so your feedback is genuinely helpful and we’ll make sure it’s shared with the team. We’re so pleased that, overall, you had such a great experience, and we couldn’t agree more that Aleks deserves those five stars! We hope to welcome you back on another Melbourne adventure someday. Thanks again for travelling with us and for sharing such detailed feedback!

Alisha our tour guide was the best!
The tour guide is very good, the introduction of the attractions is very detailed, but the wine near the vineyard is common, a bit disappointed, and there is a surprise to see kangaroos at the vineyard.
