Excellent day trip from Melbourne which exceeded our expectations. Stuart was a very knowledgeable guide and made sure we got the most out of our trip. Visiting Sovereign Hill is like stepping back in time and learning about both the gold mining industry and the harshness of daily life during that time for miners and their families. The visit was both entertaining and informative.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback 🌟⛏️ We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Sovereign Hill “A Touch of Gold” Ballarat Tour 😊 It is fantastic that Stuart helped make the day so informative and smooth, and that you enjoyed both the historic experience and insight into gold mining life 💜 We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience, booked 2 tours with Explore Australia and would happily book another with them. Sovereign Hill is a must if travelling to Victoria, such a good insight in to this historic place. A massive shoutout to our tour guide Michael, who amazing from the start of the journey. He made sure our group were given priority and didn't let us miss out on anything, thanks Michael.

I will make sure to pass this onto him. Have a great day. Explore Australia Tours Team
The trip was excellent and the tour guide was very knowledgeable
Thanks so much for your review, Anita 😊 We are so glad you enjoyed your visit to Sovereign Hill on your first trip to Melbourne — such a great way to step back in time. Lovely to hear your guide made the experience even more enjoyable with their knowledge. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Melbourne 💛
Our tour guide Lachy was so informative and a great driver, however the people on the tour with us weren’t the greatest people to travel with as many of them were very sick and also they rocked up to the bus after we were supposed to leave which is uncourteous to other travellers
Thank you for your review! We are glad to hear that Lachy was informative and helped make the tour enjoyable. We are sorry to hear about the challenges with the other travellers, but we are pleased that despite this you were still able to enjoy your experience at Sovereign Hill. We hope to welcome you on another Explore Australia Tours adventure soon!
Loved every bit of the trip. The whole town setup feels like you’ve traveled back in time. Our guide Gary, was very patient and an amazing host. So was Debbie, our kind lady from the 1800s who showed us the most of the town.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are delighted to hear you loved every part of your Sovereign Hill A Touch of Gold tour and enjoyed stepping back in time with the town’s incredible setup. It’s wonderful to know Gary and Debbie made the experience even more special with their patience, warmth and knowledge. We really appreciate you sharing your experience and hope to welcome you back on another Explore Australia Tours adventure soon!
We loved the narrative and sense of field on this underground journey - the guides were infectious and the historical details were excellent. The whole experience was real and immersive, with no fancy gimmicks. However, there was a sudden light-out during the trip that surprised our children and affected the experience to some extent. One small suggestion: Clearer, unified reminders of sudden darkness on the booking page, at ticket offices and in pre-departure briefings, with simple "family/sensory cues." Playing a short preview video at the entrance and clearly marking the stepless route or "skip this paragraph" option will help parents and sensory-sensitive visitors make informed choices. We are grateful that the staff came to care afterwards. Overall, it's still an attractive visit, and we still recommend it - just watch out for the lights-out part of the moment in advance if you're bringing younger children or someone with a sudden change of light sensitivity.
Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback. It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the storytelling, historical detail, and immersive nature of the experience. The team at Sovereign Hill put a great deal of care into creating those moments, and it is lovely to know they resonated with you. Your comments regarding the sudden blackout are very valuable. Clear and consistent guidance can make a big difference for families and visitors who are sensitive to abrupt light changes, and your suggestions such as a family or sensory advisory, clearer signposting, and a short preview are all excellent ideas. Insights like these are genuinely helpful for improving the experience for future guests. It is great to hear that staff checked in with you afterwards, and we appreciate your balanced perspective. Thank you again for taking the time to share such detailed and constructive feedback.
