Hunter Valley Wine Tasting Private Tour From Sydney

We had overseas visitors here to surprise my husband for his Birthday. We wanted to incorporate both the Blue Mountains and the Hunter Valley. Mike was amazing! He collected us from our door, drove us to the Mountains for a tour, arranged Scenic World and then collected us the next morning to transfer us to The Hunter Valley. He arranged all the wine tasting and made it all so seamless. We also did a Hot Air Balloon ride on the Monday and Mike then transported us back to Sydney to the door. Absolutely the best weekend. Mike is professional, reliable and knowledgeable. He made planning this surprise so easy and great value. Could not recommend Mike and Beyond Tours any more highly!!!

We had an amazing time with Go Beyond Tours on our trip to the Hunter Valley in April! Everything was well-organised, relaxed, and fun from start to finish. Our guide, Mike, was absolutely fantastic , the selection of wineries was excellent, offering a nice variety of wines and beautiful settings. Highly recommend Go Beyond Tours if you're heading to the Hunter Valley — and if you get Mike as your guide, you're in for a great day!

Mike was really great - it was a great day, 3 good wineries ( Vinden was our favorite) and an entertaining ride.Mike stopped for Kangaroo pics which delighted the girls! Thanks for a great day.

Enjoyable day visiting wineries. Vehicle was a bit dated but clean and comfortable. Our driver/guide James was good and got us there and back safely and made an effort to ensure that we saw some kangaroos in the wild. Wine tastings were very good and informative. Lunch at the pub was good and at a nice pub. Viator decription listed national park fees included in the detailed list of inclusions but there was no national park on the itinerary.

We booked our private wine tour day several months in advance and gave clear descriptions of what we were looking for on our winery day. I had assumed everything was booked but upon following up a week before our tour, we were provided with different choices for wineries and restaurants. On the day of the tour, we went to one place which was fantastic, except the tasting was so long, that we blew through our time for lunch and were late to the second winery. Thankfully the winery we were at had food to go so we were able to eat in the car - which was not ideal. On the second winery, we did a reserve tasting but it was cut short because we had to go to our last winery where we were super disappointed in the wine and that it was even given as an option based on the expectations provided. During the drive, our driver pointed out one or two wineries as some of the best in the region but had required bookings at least 1-2 weeks in advance. We were extremely frustrated by this given we booked several months in advance. The person who set up our tours did a really poor job of managing the day and did not meet our expectations for this tour which was surprising given the reviews.

We had a great day at the Hunter Valley tavelling around some great wineries and distillery. We ended our day with some fabulous dessert and then back home. Mike was great, he was very obliging and I would highly recomment Go Beyond Tours for transport for your next group outing. We will definately use them again

Private tour to the winery. It’s about a 2 hour drive each way with beautiful scenery. We did wine tastings and a cheese tasting which were all wonderful! We stopped for lunch at a local restaurant which was delicious! We were able to see over 30 kangaroos with multiple mobs of kangaroos near the wineries. We stopped near the road one time and saw a kangaroo with her baby in her pouch… it was so amazing! Just a wonderful, relaxing day trip from Sydney. Would highly recommend!

Mike was very accommodating with our day trip to Hunter Valley from Sydney. He was able to pick us up straight from the hotel, and took off straight to Hunter Valley. While it's a long drive, Mike provided unique insights in to life in Sydney and Australia. Once we arrived, the wineries that he had picked were very good, as well as the lunch spot which he modified for dietary restrictions. It would be great to stay in Hunter Valley, but if you are in Sydney and are looking for a day trip for wine, this is a great value for the price.

We were picked up at the OPT cruise terminal after our cruise on Princess and had a great day visiting Hunter Valley wineries. After the tasting, we were dropped back off at our hotel in Sydney. James was a safe driver and was very knowledgeable about Sydney and the different regions as we drove up and back.

Mike picked us up on time at the cruise terminal and provided an extensive custom tour of the Hunter Valley. He organized tastings at 3 wineries and a stop for a picnic lunch. He then drove us to the airport. Mike was very professional and informative. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and will highly recommend him to our friends.
