Outstanding tour!

Kurt was the ultimate tour guide for our group this week. We had an amazing day that showcased all that Yarra Valley has to offer. Every stop was excellent. From the meat pies and cheeses at the creamery, to ciders, bubbles, and wine. An amazing chocolate tasting and closing out with kangaroos. What a special day and experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Victoria/Melbourne!

Fantastic Yarra Valley tour with an amazing guide

I had a fantastic experience on this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Yarra Valley. I also appreciated that my communication needs as a deaf traveler and my food sensitivities were accommodated, which made the experience even more enjoyable and stress-free. Our guide, Kurt, was excellent. His commentary throughout the tour was engaging, informative, and full of humor, making the day even more enjoyable. I also liked how he brought the group together at the beginning by inviting everyone to introduce themselves. It was a wonderful way to get to know the other participants and creates a friendly atmosphere from the start. The views at Chandon Winery on a beautiful sunny day were spectacular. I especially enjoyed the red sparkling Shiraz. It was also interesting to learn about the wines at Yering Station and sample a variety of them. The chocolate, cheese, and strawberry tastings were delicious and a lot of fun. The warm, sunny weather made an already wonderful day even better. The highlight for me was seeing kangaroos at the end of the tour. It was my first time seeing kangaroos in Australia, and it was an unforgettable experience to watch them in the wild.

Highlight of our Australia trip!

This tour led by Mark was the highlight of our Australia trip. It was well timed and we never felt rushed. There seemed to be nothing normal like burgers/pizza etc. to order at the lunch venue though. I especially love the end part looking at wild kangaroos, though I thought more time could be allocated there. This seems to be the only tour that does that and it really adds a special touch to the day. Without a doubt I would recommend this tour to anyone coming to Melbourne!

Amazing day with wild Kangaroos, delicious wine and cheese!

We had a really enjoyable Yarra Valley day tour with Elliot. The van was comfortable, and with only 10 people in the group, the experience felt very intimate and relaxed. Elliot shared interesting insights about the area throughout the drive, which made the journey engaging and far from boring. The pace of the tour was just right-well planned without feeling rushed. A highlight of the day was spotting wild kangaroos towards the end, which made the experience even more memorable. Overall, a well-organised and enjoyable tour, highly recommended!

Simply the best!

Absolutely the best tour from Melbourne to the Yarra Valley! Craig is an incredibly personable and an excellent tour guide. He kept us on time, went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our time. The search for the Kangaroos was a highlight and he allowed for time to get as close as possible, take pictures and find their favourite spots. The duration of the tour is perfect, not too long or too short! I would recommend this to anyone searching for cheese, chocs, champagne, wine, and roos!

Australia at its best!

Our guide transformed an unseasonably cold day into a day of great memories. From chocolate dipped strawberries, through cheese tasting, several wine tastings and a visit to the largest chocolate factory and best ice cream I've encountered he generously shared his knowledge and enthusiasm. The absolute highlight was making sure we got to experience kangaroos close up and in their natural habitat. A wonderful and memorable day.

Most enjoyable day

A most enjoyable day, spent with like minded people. We enjoyed everything about this day. The host Curt, and his continuous banter, the unexpected extras, and the superb wine, cheese and chocolate. Not forgetting the up close and personal kangaroo experience. We will be back !!

Wonderful day out - great tour

What a fabulous day out we had and would highly recommend this to everyone. By the end of the day we felt like a family with Kurt and the other people. I feel even people who live in Melbourne should try this tour and it was so much fun.

Great afternoon in the Yarra Valley

From pick up location to drop off this tour was well worth the booking. The tour guides, Tom and Stephen we very knowledgeable and friendly. The venues were delightful with plenty of time to taste and explore at each location. Smaller groups made it a more personal tour. Thank you for an amazing day 😊

A+!

Booked a Yarra Valley (Domaine Chandon, Yarra Valley Dairy, Yering Station, Yarra Valley Chocolaterie) last minute, and I'm absolutely glad that I did! Tom, our guide, has been delightful from the start (totally convinced me I like Melbourne better than Sydney, wink). He made sure we were okay and having fun the whole time, and the great taste in music was a great bonus. I found the tour educational and worth the money. Highly recommend The Yarra Valley Touring Company!

Worth every cent!

What an incredible tour from booking process to drop off near our apartment at the end. Great communication by Yarra Touring Company when our pick up location needed to be changed due to Protest rally on Australia Day. We made it to our new pick up location with 10 minutes to spare and was greeted by Craig our driver and tour guide. Right off the bat we could tell it was going to be a great day as Craig was engaging, entertaining and informative right throughout the tour. Van was comfortable, air conditioned which was welcomed as it was a hot day and Craig came prepared with a chilly bin for our purchases which might have needed to be kept cool. Also grateful for the bottles of cold water he handed out and other treats. Cheeses, wines, chocolates and Kangaroos were amazing. Great way to spend our first Australia Day! Overall, for our first tour in Melbourne, we believe it was money well spent and would not hesitate to do another tour with Yarra Valley Touring. 5 stars all the way!

Fantastic Yarra Valley tour - 10 of 10!

WOW - This small group tour, which gives you so much more, was one of our highlights from our 3 weeks in Australia. Our guide Craig, also the founder of the company, is a highly professional and wonderful guide who knows the area well. These places he took us to were just amazing, and a perfect combination all together. We can highly recommend this tour! And on top of all good cheese, wine and chocolate along the way we also got really close to kangaroos!🙌

A wonderful day!

We had SO MUCH fun on this all day tour! It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. We loved the cheese tasting (so much cheese!) and the chocolate tasting (so much chocolate!). Our favorite winery visit was Chandon because they had different flights you could sample that were really different, and since there were four of us doing this tour together, we could try them all. At the end they took us to a place we could see a bunch of wild kangaroos. We'd already seen a few at the vineyard, but this was a TON of them. I am an avid amateur photographer, so I absolutely loved getting a chance to photograph them both through the telephoto lense and then through the car windows closer up. The kangaroos are so common in rural area they are like deer in the u.s.- the locals did not know what we were so excited about. But I was very happy with pretty much everything about the day. Our tour guide was Curtis and he was great- I highly recommend him and this tour!

Amazon tour, definitely recommended!

We highly recommend this tour. We spend the best afternoon visiting Yarra Valley. What made the tour even better was the wonderful tour guide Kurt! He is the best tour guide we have had during all of our travels, so fun, easy going and knowledgeable. We've learned a lot on our trip. The visits with the cheese, chocolate and wine tasting were very good. Spotting the kangaroos was another highlight of the tour, Kurt gave us lots of time to see them up close. Would definitely do this tour again. Greetings from the pair from the Netherlands!
