Firstly, i enjoyed the tour. The coach driver was excellent. However, i was told that i needed to be ready to be picked up at 7.05am from my hotel. What i wasn't told was that the actual tour bus was leaving only a few hundred meters away in Federation Square after 8.00am. I could have walked straight there instead of sitting on a bus for over 45 mins picking up other people from hotels. Maybe i missed some instructions that told me this - i don't know. But when i phoned the day before to confirm the pick up time it would have been good to have been told this. I did not know where the tour left from and had assumed that it must be further away.

We had a great day out, lovely weather, the Buffing Billy could have been longer than one stop! Billy tea and Lamingtons a nice idea.

Were picked up at our hotel by a shuttle at around 720am, only to be told that we would need to hang around at Federation Square till 820am. Although it was OK for us as we could grab some coffee, might be good if the agency told us earlier of such an arrangement. It could give travellers the choice whether they want to take the early shutter or make their own way to Federation Square. Would have preferred a longer stay at Domaine Chandon.

Great trip doing several different things. Feeding the native birds was a lovely thing to do. The train ride allows for spectacular views. The winery trail was magic for someone who likes wine. My sister didn't do that bit but went to the animal park, which she found disappointing because of the long wait to see one of the shows.

Trip was excellent; however, I stood for over one hour waiting for my pick up. When I called them, they said to get to Melbourne Centre. Bad start to the day, but good trip.

Most enjoyable day. Meal was good. Our driver kept us informed and was very helpful and courteous. We did find the stairs on the bus steep and difficult to negotiate.

It was a great and entertaining day out. The tour guide was excellent and very informative. Puffing Billy was fun. Would recommend the experience to anyone wanting a great day in the Yarra Valley. Only small criticism was that the tasting at the second winery I believe this was a substitute for the original destination we were given ten different wines to taste within about five minutes. This was far too rushed and it was impossible to sort out the taste of different wines even drinking water in between. We still had about 20 minutes to fill in at the end of the tasting so it wasn't as though we were running behind time.

We really enjoyed this tour. It was great to go to the wineries, as we are not really wine people. But after tasting Moscato wine, I am now converted. Puffing Billy was great, and the lunch at the winery was fantastic. What a great day!

Everything about this trip was great except one of the wineries they could not get rid of us quick enough and it was a waste of time.

Really great tour. The views were beautiful. Our guide was interesting. Just be careful when you feed the birds, one picked my finger instead of the seeds and it hurt. The Chandon Domain visit was absolutely awesome.
