Mike C.Mike C. ★★★★☆ Jan, our Tour Guide was fabulous! Her knowledge was exceptional.We enjoyed every aspect of the tour but felt that the order of the venues was back to front. It started with a chocolate factory, cheese factory, lunch , and wine tasting.We completely understand that things are done in order of where they are located, but a slight change could be cheese factory, lunch, wine tasting, and then chocolate.I would have loved to hear more about each business by the owner instead of just putting their beautiful food in front of us and walking away.That aside, we had a great day and enjoyed it immensely.Thank you, Jan. We enjoyed having you as our guide, and you made the tour awesome for us.All the best from Mike, Matt, and Paul (The Cheeky Kiwi's).Response from the ownerThank you Mike for providing your thoughts as requested by Jan.

Honestly can’t recommend this company enough for a tour! I’ve done three with my friends now and every time it’s a blast! Just did a private one for my 30th and everyone loved it. Owners super friendly and helpful, drivers are so lovely and accomodating.

12/10 would definitely recommend!

This has to be the best tour company I’ve dealt with! Ticks all the boxes, super helpful to organise trips, amazing and accomodating drivers, locally owned. I’ve done three tours and highly recommend them to anyone who’s asks… my friends and I will probably be back again next year 😅

Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for the most enjoyable day on Sunday.

It was really nice to just be our group of four. I hope we behaved!!!

The information and your knowledge of the area made for an informative session of things we did not know about the area.

The venues where we stopped for the cheese board, the wine tasting, lunch and chocolate tasting were superb and extremely pleasant and accomodating.

Thank you also for arranging the “private” viewing of the Possums Cabin at Secrets on the Lake. Absolutely beautiful.

I am sure we will be back again for a different excursion sometime!!

Once again, thank you for making it such a memorable day.

Kind regards

Martin & Terry

My friend and I went on your Scenic Food, Cheese, Wine tour on Tuesday 11 Oct. Our guide was Jan.

What an EXCELLENT tour this was. The Tour exceeded our expectations and it was value for money. We enjoyed the diversity of the tour.

Jan was an EXCELLENT Guide. She was so friendly, polite, VERY informative, and a lot of fun. We both had a ‘top day’. Thank you Jan.

I would definitely recommend this tour.
