Astrid_M, Apr 2023
Excellent day! Our tour guide Chris was very informative, so many stories and not a bad singer. There was plenty of food and we managed to see a platypus 😁
Superb tour
Elizabeth_H, Feb 2023
This is a great kind of tour because the food theme makes the whole thing hang together. Brett is knowledgeable and passionate about food, farming, and the area. The food and drinks were great. The drive between stops was filled with lovely scenery. Brett provided non-stop commentary on the farming and wildlife. He spotted a tree kangaroo and made sure we all got a chance to see it before he let us out of the van which might have spooked it. I would highly recommend this tour as a superb way to spend a day.
