5.00Sara was amazing and very considerate. She took a very good care for everyone. For me, I am a kind person of chocolate lover so she managed the time for me to visit the Chocolatier. Thanks a lot, Sara!
Perfect for wineries hopping

5.00My husband and I had a wonderful day in the Yarra with our absolute favourite vineyard being Coombe Estate. We would not have been to this treasure if it was not for the great Itinerary prepared for us by Hop On / Hop Off. It was the home of Dame Nellie Melba and really increased my interest in her. The young French sommelier at Coombe was so knowledgable and kind. We ended up buying 6 bottles of wine and have ordered another 6 since then. They are very reasonably priced. We had morning tea to soak up the generous “ tastings “ we were given. We had the best scones with freshly made jam and cream I have ever had. We would love to return here for lunch. The other highlight for us was “ Four Pillars Gin. “ The service was excellent and we did not feel out of place even though we are past “ hipster “ age. The sticky date pudding was scrumptious and needed to soak up the generous serves of gin. I had insisted we go to Chandon but we found the service lacking and it did have a lot of international tourists. The view was beautiful. We will definately use the service again when we go to Melbourne. My husband really enjoyed discussing food with our warm Welsh driver. Most people quietly dozed on the way back. The tour is suitable for people that may use a walking stick. I notified them previously and my husband and I were given the front seats. I was able to enter and exit the van without a problem , even after a few gins at our last stop :)
Great experience
