5.00We had a fantastic time with Sean our host/driver. He was funny, friendly and knowledgeable. The wineries were great with amazing tastings on offer. The lunch was delicious (choice from 4 options). We did the gin experience instead of the last winery and it did not diappoint. We were amongst a group of 18 foreigners who all appeared to be enjoying themselves. Only suggestion would be to have an option of not going to the choclaterie and staying at four pillars or going to the brewery aswell then getting picked up after thr others went to the chocolate factory. Otherwise 10/10 would recommend!

5.00I’d start by saying I highly recommend everyone visiting Australia to make time to experience the amazing activities the Yarra Valley has to offer from delicious wine tastings and stunning natural scenery to trying fresh local fruits from nearby farms and dining at the famous gourmet restaurants. It’s an absolute must visit if you’re passing through Australia! And you’ve got to join the tour run by Dancing Kangaroo tours, a huge shoutout to our host, Posi, who was absolutely incredible! He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great energy that made the whole experience even better. You can really tell he loves what he does — thanks again, Posi, for an unforgettable day!
Amazing no notes!

5.00Words don’t describe how amazing this trip was. The enthusiasm that Sean brought was the best introduction to the trip. The wineries were only second to the atmosphere that this tour brought. Would 100% recommend this to anyone visiting Melbourne!
Epic!!
