Nice way to spend full day of amazing views trough smaller villages and good photo spots! :) Guide for the day was Peter and he made the trip very chill and he also told us little about history of each location we went. Highly recommend this trip :)

Peter was a wonderful guide. I normally am not a fan of group tours but he took us on some extra side trips that made it a lovely day. The drive is worth the day trip!

We really enjoyed this tour. Mike was punctual, and kept us on schedule throughout the day despite the many stops. The scenery was spectacular, and it was fun to see koalas and kangaroos in the wild. Stops we’re all good, although a quieter place for lunch would have been better for us. Although we finished the day in rainy weather, the trip was well worth the long ride.

Leave the driving to Mike. This was an excellent excursion with all of the stops perfectly planned out for a full day of sightseeing. The "wild kangaroo refuge" was spectacular!
