Spectacular visit to Hunter Wine Valley and Blue Mountains
Christy030,May 30, 2026

5.00We spent two days with Helder touring the Blue Mountains and Hunter Wine Valley. The Blue Mountains are truly unique. We stopped at various look out points and walked through nature. We enjoyed a nice lunch and ended our day in a small town. The following day we did a private tour of the Hunter Wine Valley. We stopped at three different wineries, had lunch at an amazing restaurant at the Brokenwood Winery and finished it off with a cheese tasting. All was amazing! Helder was kind, gave us a lot of history of Australia, local culture and insight as to different wildlife and nature in the area. We really enjoyed these tours!
Excellent food. Very abundant

5.00Honestly, a very good experience. Even though I do not consume alcohol, I liked the organization. The willingness and explanations of each tasting. My husband does. So he enjoyed the different varieties, flavors, and origins of the wines. A splendid day. Our guide in Spanish. Excellent in every way. In knowledge. Good driver and accompanied us at all times. His name is Helder. The truth is it was a pleasure that he was our guide. Very kind. Respectful and cordial. I recommend it.
Wine at 10;00 am — SURE!

5.00We had a lovely, fun day in Hunter Valley, tasted some yummy wines and purchased a few to enjoy later. The area is so pretty and all three wineries were amazingly designed. Lunch provided was delicious, plenty of food! Karyn, our tour guide, was also an amazing part of our trip. She is filled with fun, interesting and historical information about Australia, she has a great sense of humor and she quickly vibed with all of us. We would highly recommend requesting her as your tour guide. Thanks for a great Karyn and AEA Luxury tours.

5.00Our wonderful and informative tour-guide, Helder, made this experience so memorable. He provided us with great conversation and so many facts about Australia that we’ll be able to take back home and share with our friends and family. At the end of our wine tour, he made a special stop at the chocolate factory! We were able to pick up some goodies for our kids and nieces back home. He didn’t have to do this but since there was time available, he made it happen! He also took some great photos of my husband and I! He went above and beyond to make our time special and for that we are thankful!

5.00We had an incredible experience AEA Luxury Tours. We were very lucky to have our tour guide Helder. From the moment the tour began, Helder's friendly and welcoming nature made us feel at ease. He struck the perfect balance between being laid back and highly professional — everything ran smoothly and on time, yet never felt rushed or rigid. Helder’s deep knowledge of the area, culture, and history added so much richness to the experience. He was always ready to answer questions and share interesting insights about Sydney and the surrounding areas, which made the tour both informative and engaging. His attention to detail and easygoing manner created a truly memorable day. If anyone is travelling to Sydney and the surrounding areas I would highly suggest using AEA Luxury tours!

5.00First of all is important to say that we stayed with Mr Helder (our Australian Guide) during 3 days , visiting Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley and Bondi Beach. Our experience was amazing not only due to his knowledge in those areas but also for being so kind , helpful and doing his best to please us . All time showing and letting us know about curiosities and important info of each place. Besides that he speaks portuguese fluent due to the fact his father is portuguese. In Summary it was an awesome experience ! Great Value 👏👏
Wonderful day in the Hunter Valley

5.00We had a wonderful day with Nigel. He was clever, a great conversationalist and took us to wonderful wineries that were off the beaten path. He knew about some very unique wineries and was acquainted with most of the people doing our tasting so that we got special treatment most places we went. He was a good driver, gave some interesting background. I would recommend this tour, but especially if you can request Nigel.
