Great night, good sized group. We started with dinner at a pub, then gathered everyone for the walking tour. I forgot our guide's name, but I think it might have been Phoebe. Lots of opportunities for participation, great story telling and history. If you're into the paranormal or just like to hear ghost stories, check this one out.

Tania our guide was great. It was my 60th and I was looking for a little company that offered great value for money and I got it. The wineries we went to had great wines and were very pretty. We even went to a little boutique distillery where we got to sample some interesting liqueurs. We didn't know exactly where we were going at the start but as it turned out two of our stops were on my bucket list to visit. We all had a fantastic time with heaps of laughs. COVID restrictions had been eased in Queensland recently and we just had to sanitise and sign in at each venue and that was great.

We required a private transfer with less then 4 hours notice due to a family emergency, which also coincided with torrential rain and a peak time for bookings, with several other operators unable to accomodate our request early in the day. The team were very professional and went above and beyond, nothing was a hassle. We will be return customers in the future as your hospitality and customer service was outstanding. Highly recommended. Thank you
