5.00What a great tour, Jordan was a delightful host, paddle steamer was the highlight, and Echuca was a great town to explore. Gave us a taste of Victoria, and we will definitely be back. Thank you, Jordan, for a great day.
One of the best days of my life.

5.00Perfect day from start to finish - Mobs of kangaroos in the paddocks along the Hume Freeway, coffee stop and views of the peaceful Lake Nagambie, up close Koala experience and surprised by some meerkats at Kyabram Wildlife Sanctuary, burger and chips lunch at the Bridge Hotel in Echuca, a stroll around the historic wharf, a Paddle Steamer cruise on the P.S.Canberra, a stop to admire the Silo Art at Rochester, a fabulous wine and cheese tasting at Sanguine Estate hosted by Mark and Jodie, and then return to Melbourne past volcanic rock formations, to finish up with the best night view of Melbourne along the Bolte Bridge. Perfectly paced and seamless tour with informative narration from Ray and a pleasant playlist made for a very relaxing and memorable day.
