FANTASTIC TOUR MADE ALL THE wonderful byTourGuide Robert !!

Wendy_C, Apr 2024

This was an absolutely DELIGHTFUL tour with so many wonderful stops. The distillery stop was a new experience for me that I THROUGHLY enjoyed but must say THE highlight was the Yarra Valley Chocolatier. A fantastic experience made even more wonderful by our AWESOME tour guide Robert . His depth of knowledge, courteous service and just wonderfully pleasant manner made this a once in a lifetime tour. If I could I would sort these tours by ..is Robert was the tour guide .. THATS HOW EXCEPTIONAL HE WAS !!

Fantastic Tour!

David_H, Mar 2024

Fantastic day! Janey was great driver. Very personable. Definitely exceeded our expectations for the day in Melbourne!

Great way to spend a day at the Yarra Valley

MrsNicolaJ_S, Mar 2024

Pickup from hotel was bang on time and efficient. Budgie our driver/tour guide was brilliant. We had a fantastic day visiting vine yards, a local dairy and local chocolatairy. Lunch was taken at one of the vineyards. Overall a great day.

A great way to taste the Yarra Valley

Pauline_S, Mar 2024

What more could you want from a day trip… wine, cheese, a beautiful lunch, more wine, gin, chocolate and a great guide! (Even kangaroos and cockatoos!)

Excellent tour- Chris H perfect!

John_M, Feb 2024

Tour was fun, informative, varied, Chris H tour person was a highlight including going back one stop for backpack left. Cheese stop was disappointing- less informative, limited, expected more. Suggest increase info or take off tour list. All other stops very good., including lunch. Strongly recommend this company, tour, and Chris H.

A day out in Yarra.

andy_w, Jan 2024

A great day touring Yarra Valley - the whole day was fantastic and would recommend it to anyone want to do the same tour.

Yarra Wining!

Rich_S, Jan 2024

Terrific experience… I liked it so much last year when I took the tour that I took my partner with me again this year. She absolutely loved it the driver Janiey was amazing and so full of information and energy. Either recommend the tour and especially Janey

Very well done, all around!

Eric_Z, Jan 2024

What a great tour. It was perfect for us. Two wineries, a cheese maker, and a chocolatier all in one day! Our guide, Aaron was a great driver and a better guide. He even gave us a few tips for our upcoming drive on the great ocean road. If you’re looking for a wonderful way to spend a day in Melbourne, this could be your ticket! Also, the communications from Go West Tours leading up to the tour were excellent. Other tour operations could learn from them!

Great experience.

Jeff_H, Jan 2024

The tour guide was great. He was very knowledgeable of the area and went out of his way to accommodate everyone.

Budgie was great!!...

Pat_F, Dec 2023

Budgie was great!! Loved that he played Christmas music on the bus. We are from the states and are missing the Christmas spirit down here.

Great Day Overall

Sourish_N, Dec 2023

We had a great experience at the Yarra Valley Group Tour. Special thanks to our guide and driver Mr. Felix, for entertaining us through out the way, while giving away useful information. He took great care of us, and managed the trip very well , not rushing us through , which is highly appreciated.

Enjoyed the drive through...

Robin_C, Nov 2023

Enjoyed the drive through Yarra Valley. The stops at the Gateway Market and the chocolate shop were very interesting and informative.

Excellent tour!

Jerome_K, Nov 2023

We enjoyed our Yarra Valley Gourmet Tour led by Frank our Guide!! One of the best we ever had!!! He helped my elderly aunties up and down the vehicle all the way and was always looking out for us, which we are so grateful for! We loved his sense of humour and his choice of music - very entertaining!! We liked the first class dining at Rochford and the wine tasting demos at both Rochford and Balgownie Wineries were good too. A bit of a strange situation happened at Balgownie (fire drill?) but we had quite a laugh. The cheese and fruit tastings at Coldstream Dairy and Gateway were terrific as well - I got myself some lovely cheeses, which Frank kindly kept for us in his handy ice box. Most memorable was the chocolate tasting experience at Yarra Valley Chocolaterie- amazing variety of gourmet chocolates that I've never seen before in one place! The only complaint I have is the car seat - it was really cramped for me and my friend as we are quite big sized and we didn't have enough leg room. Other than that minor issue, everything was great and we loved the experience!! We also appreciate Go West service staff Estelle giving us the backend support especially during the stressful morning when Optus was having a city wide breakdown. Thank you all so much!! Cheers!!!

Excellent

George_B, Oct 2023

The complete trip was exceptional. Well looked after by Ebony our tour guide and bus driver. We totally enjoyed the wine tasting and lunch meal. Lovely area and enhanced by a very sunny and warm day.

Amazing time!

Anton_M, Oct 2023

We absolutely love our trip, even our kids had a great time. Instead of wine tasting they had non-alcoholic drinks, mountain of chocolates😂. Special thanks to HIlda, our tour guide. She was amazing!

The tour guide is beyond

Yaron_E, Sep 2023

The trip was really good,really easy and enjoyable. But the best of the tour was the tour guide Jon C. He is the best tour guide I have in my life. The company need him for sure. He made the tour smooth and easy.

A Must Do Tour

Mara_N, Sep 2023

This tour was worth every cent. Edge was a fantastic tour guide with lots of knowledge about the region and very good relations with all the places we went to. He additionally had great recommendations for things to do in the city! I felt truly spoiled on this tour. We got to try delicious produce, wines, cheeses and chocolates. The inclusions are extensive. The included meal at Rockford Winery was absolutely divine. I would take this tour over and over again and truly couldn’t recommend it enough. I think it’s an amazing way to see the Yarra Valley and get a taste of all different things there.

Amazing Yarra Valley

Wendy_W, Sep 2023

Tour Guide Jason P is a character and made the whole experience a lot of fun! I feel like we saw and tasted a lot of different things. The lunch at Rochford Winery was amazing! A great escape from the city.
