Brooke was a phenomenal tour guide! She gave us tips, tricks and ideas for future tours and was an absolute riot the whole time. I was never bored and this was a great way to see the area. With it being mid winter, I am surprised that we got to see everything before the sun set. The weather really held out for us and I am glad we got to see the sights and enjoy it all.
The first winery was my personal favourite, and being the only table present at the time really made it all that more intimate. Lunch was delicious and there is plenty to choose from! As someone who needs to be dairy free that there was more that 1 option on the menu was a total surprise. The ferry was great, the sun was out for most of it although sadly we saw no wildlife. When we got in, the table at the front right at the window was reserved and our afternoon tea was waiting. Brooke took our drink orders and they all arrived swiftly. The brewery wasn't an option the day I took the tour but instead we headed off to another winery that had fantastic views. Afterwards, we headed out to Arthurs Seat and the bathing boxes. Brooke lead the group in a handful of impromptu van sing-along moments as well. Plenty of toilet stops which is always nice when you have 6 glasses of wine and a cup of tea.
Utterly chill vibe and everything was clearly meticulously planned by Explore Australia. Will tour with them again.
