Perfect day out

5.00Absolutely stunning trip, so grateful to Sara our driver who saved the start of the day when we discovered that trains from Melbourne to Geelong were stopping at Wyndham with a bus to Geelong, so she just picked us up from Wyndham. Everyone along the was so hospitable and real strengths of the region at Bellarine Estate and Scotchmans. A particular shout out to Jamie at Bellarine who brought the family wines to life! Can't wait to come back, and the ferry home from Portarlington was such a perfect way to end the day.

5.00Myself & 4 friends took the ferry from docklands and were met be Sarah on the other side. She had helped me work out itinerary to include lunch and to get the best out of our day. We bought wine to take home & got some great photos and ideas for our next tour. Thanks for a great day out

5.00Thank you 'Hop It' for ensuring that we had a great day touring our selected stops in the Bellarine Peninsula! Fabulous friendly service with information about the area as well. Sara was helpful, even before the tour, ensuring that we had all the information we needed, seeing whether or not we needed any assistance with planning and keeping us in the loop throughout the day. Now....to try another 'Hop It' experience!
Wonderful day out on Bellarine

4.00Had a wonderful day out on Bellarine wineries on Easter Saturday. Perfect weather. We did 3 wineries and had a short browse in Port Arlington as well. The Hop It service is punctual, the communication during the day was excellent as well. You need to make your own booking for lunch, tastings etc before you go. I suggest you do this early as you can, as lunch spots can be popular. Sara was great with her advice and information, both before the trip and on the day. The only disappointing factor for us was that we booked the ferry both ways through Hop It, but the ferry company sold the Hop It allocation of tickets. We returned on the ferry. We still had a great day, and travelling by bus from Melbourne gave us an earlier start to the day on the Bellarine.

5.00We highly recommend this tour! It was an excellent way to go from one vineyard to another, and our tour guide was so informative and fun. Be sure to make bookings for winetasting beforehand, i.e. plan ahead where to go using the Hop on hop off-timetable for the bus. We managed to go to three wineries, and I think that is maximum what you can squeeze in to fit with the ferry from and to Melbourne.
Best day out

5.00This is the second hip it tour we have done and it was just as fantastic as the first! Great variety of wineries and breweries on the tour. Our guide Ali was so friendly and accommodating! We had a great day. We love the fact with HopIt that you can pick your own tours and places to eat. This flexibility means that you can creat the day you want which is different to other tours. We spent time at Bennetts and Jack Rabbit and would recommend a visit to both.
Half Day Express

4.00The blue route with ferry option is a great option if you're looking to have a half day out of Melbourne on the Bellarine. You get a maximum of 3 x 1 hour stops, with plenty of variety (wine, beer, spirits). The Hop It service is excellent as always. There is a dedicated route driver based in Geelong. The 3 x 1 hour is definitely fast-paced, but a way to get out of the house without going overboard on the food and drinks. There is better value in choosing the Geelong departure, as you get up to 5 stops or can at least slow down a little. Once the Geelong line is reopened from the Level Crossing work, it's definitely doable to go up and back to Geelong. Especially with the Saturday Myki fare cap ($6.30?). But the trade-off is that it's definitely a long full day out.
