3.00This was a good tour, however I am rating it average due to the cost in comparison to what this package provides. We booked through Viator/trip advisor for 189 AUD (132USD) per person. Compared to the other tours, this excursion was the least fun yet the most expensive. Nothing was significant about it, in fact the best part was our tour guide.. Sean. The wine was average, as the food as well. The last stop we opted in for gin tasting (that came with a passive aggraessive server) but were told we were not on the list for this. However, I read through the entire itinerary and details of this tour upgrade and no where did it mention requiring an uncharge through Viator. We were told we were not on the list because we did not pay but on the booking details it specifically says "If you wish to switch to the brewery or distillery option, please contact us directly, as availability is subject to change and may not be reflected accurately." As I did two days in advance, and received no confirmation. I would only recommend this in the future if the price is lowered, or if the wine was a bit better.
