5.00We had an awesome day in the Yarra Valley. Starting from Melbourne CBD, we were picked up on time by our ever efficient and helpful Michael. We spent the day visiting some lovely wineries which included an awesome lunch at Tokar estate. If you are after beautiful wineries with spectacular wine and views - highly recommend Dancing Kangaroo Wine Tours.

5.00It was a great experience trying out many different wines, seasonal fruits, unique gin flavours and learnt a lot about chocolate making during the chocolate tasting session. Posi is a wonderful guide who knows Melbourne well. Lunch was delicious! Gotta try the pizza, chicken burger & broccolini!

5.00Guide was super friendly and funny put on great local music. Tour was really informative and fun. The admission fee was reasonable considering the cost of tastings and transport cheaper for children which was good. Trip was whole day fun from 9-5 pickup was smooth. The atmosphere was really welcoming from both the guide, Posi, and also the people working at the places we visited. Crowd was large however the tour guide still made it an excellent personal experience. The chocolate tasting was great for kids. The wine and gin tasting was amazing and really educational. Overall an amazing experience, fully recommend,
Enjoyable day trip to the Yarra

5.00It was a lovely and enjoyable trip with our guide Posi - lots of stories and a fun time all around! We visited a number of spots around the Yarra on a full day tour that didn't feel like too much of a rush. I particularly enjoyed the boutique ones like Stag Lane Gin Distillery.

5.00Posi brought everyone, a crowd of around 20 people, to 6 places to explore, gave us alot of time to explore, take pictures, gently reminding us 5 to 10 minutes before boarding the bus to take toilet breaks. He was really kind and friendly to us kids and entertained us as we could not drink the alchohol, he did so by talking to us, playing games like Jenga. Provided really good services like music on the bus, making sure it wasnt too loud when people wanted to take naps on the way there and back. He provided information on the places we woulf explore as well when approaching and entertained everyone with funny jokes. Ride to and back from places were smooth and safe. He ensured everyone was safe and accounted for. Overall it was a really enjoyable experience with Posi, he is a really friendly and kind tour guide who took great care of everyone making sure they felt very satisfied with the trip
