Yarra Valley Balloon Flight and Winery Tour

Melbourne, Australia

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

we were extremely disappointed that we could not go on the balloon tour - the weather did not cooperate. however, the part of the tour that we experienced was fabulous! the guide was top-notch. lunch was served in a fantastic location, and the tour of the Chandon, which was our last stop, was just terrific. i recommed this to all who visit the area.

Great Ocean Road Day Trip Adventure from Melbourne

Melbourne, Australia

My Rating
2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better

My Review

i would not do this again given the choice. the tour is a very long ride from Melbourne, and the view, if you're on the wrong side of the bus, is very limited. actually, you see none of the beautiful shoreline as you drive along side it. the stops are also very limited - you just get a few minutes at each stop. there's no beach time except for viewing, and it's all a rush job to get you there an back within the 13 hour trip. we did enjoy lunch, but the trip overall was not worth the time and money.

Port Arthur Tour from Hobart

My Review

this was a very enjoyable day in spite of the fact that it's at a former prison. the grounds are beautiful, and you get the feeling that you're in a beautiful park. the history is there, and the tour guide is very helpful along the way. overall, I was glad I visited this site.

Hunter Valley Wine Tasting Day Tour from Sydney

Sydney, Australia

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

great tour! the views are fantastic and the guide was great. the wineries were all very enjoyable and tried to make sure everyone had something they enjoyed. the lunch was good, and there was time to spend in each vineyard. i recommend this tour. the ride from Sydney is a little long, but worth it.

2-Day Combo: Sydney City Tour, Sydney Harbour Lunch Cruise and Blue Mountains Day Trip

Sydney, Australia

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

there's nothing like the view of the Opera House from the water! the harbor tour was such fun. there's plenty of time to enjoy lunch and take in the sights. the blue mountain tour was also a great day. the bus was very comfortable, and we had plenty of time to spend at the sights and taking in the vistas along the way. the guide was a plus. good choices, both of these tours.

Sydney and Bondi Hop-on Hop-off Tour

Sydney, Australia

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

always a good time and a good way to see the city before selecting certain spots to focus on. you can't beat the top deck for taking great pictures of the city. i always ride the hop-on hop-off buses in whatever city offers them because of their value, flexibility, and information. this one was no different.
