About the operator
- l_lao202000Best tour guide!A great fun tour. Our tour guide "Todd" really made it a party! Visited nice places and a lot of interest was shown to everyone.
- AbbottHsu00One day tourA very impressive one day tour by Andrew in Yarra valley vineyard and chocolate retail. I am really impressed with Andrew's expression in this area, especially for some wine information. Frankly speaking, vineyard here is a little different with my sister- in-law's in Taiwan. The vineyard is a little bit lower in Yarra valley and leaves are not as big as what I see in Taiwan. I can see the variety of wines by fermentation and distillation compared with the one in sister in law's. It is amazing to see the kangaroo in the vineyard too. My daughter is really happy to get the free lunch by winning the Unicorn prize. Moreover, my kids also enjoy all kinds of chocolates and ice creams. Just like Andrew said, 1 scoop is super big to fulfill your stomach. My wife and I love the weather, the fields and fresh air in this area. Is is totally different with what we have either in Taiwan or Indonesia. A good place to visit. It is my first time to visit Melbourne and I think I will be back soon. If you are a new comers, try to find Andrew. He is the best tour guy for you. Enjoy.
- michaelrU6943KV00Must do tourAndrew was super accomidating and made our wine, gin and chocolate tour FUN! We had a great time with him and other passengers.
- F2093TInelsong00Amazing Tour!Todd was amazing, we had a great time from the start till the end! Super entertaining, super friendly, and super helpful!
- Emlin5k00Great funA great day spent with a small group led by Todd. Good way to get out and see the Yarra Valley. We did a couple of vineyards, a gin distillery and a chocolate place.
- ShakkaKhan00Recommended!A solid choice for a tour operator, excellent communication and very well organised. No mucking around getting out to Yarra but then the stops were close together and we felt unhurried and able to enjoy each place. Best of all was our guide Aydin (and his amiable sidekick Susan). He is obviously a people-person and he was engaging, patient, very easygoing, and up for a bit of banter after a few wines had gone down. The only disappointment was the lady giving us the wine tasting at Helen & Joey's, she was just barely going through the motions and it was a very lacklustre performance. The fella doing tastings at the wee winery across from the Gin Distillery was fantastic, get the gin down the hatch then wander across the road, they've some surprisingly cool murals out the back there, too. Also the chocolate tasting was extensive with innovative treats, and the young woman was really fun. Great day out, loved the vibe, thanks very much!
- Seaside4829020353200Do it!Fantastic Tour. Excellent company - including those that we travelled with. Great bus driver/tour guide. Thanks Todd - legend! Fabulous food. Lots of fun. Plenty of laughs along the way. Highly recommend!!
- creading196900Fantastic day tour and instant matesJust wanted to say a big thank you to Andrew @ Teepee Tours for a fantastic day in the Yarra Valley. From the minute we met, it felt like we'd been mates for years!!! I'd recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have a relaxing day full of fun, frivolity, laughs, great food and wine. Keep up the great work Andrew, you deserve all your success.
- 712mariaj00Nice tour to Yarra ValleyAydin was a great guide! The tour was nice, but it would have been even nicer if the different winery’s/breweries could give more information about the wine/beer we were served.
- JohnL1005000Fun day outI had a lot of fun on this trip. All of the stops had great beverages to enjoy. Even as a solo traveler, I enjoyed sharing sharing the day with some of the other folks in my group, we ended up becoming friends by the end of the day.
- 485chantellel00Best wine tour out of Melbourne!What a great day out! The information provided leading up to the tour far exceeded our expectations . Very personal and professional 👌 highly recommend!
- TomsTravels9400Great experience.Aydin our tour operator was extremely friendly. The chose locations we visited had beautiful views and several superb wines to sample. Would definitely recommend.
- 261riceh00Fun and flexible route!I like how flexible the route was. Our guide also made the experience fun! The Spotify playlist was a nice touch.
- 606tobyg00Great tourGreat tour. Pick-up well-communicated and easy, and the vineyards we visited were all great - picturesque and very good wine. The tour was made though by the guide, Aydin. Super fun guy who contributed to the overall good vibe but also made everything run smoothly and seamlessly. Would highly recommend!
- louisesC1701XP00Great easy going day outReally great easy going day out. Beautiful locations, enough time at each place. Wine, gin, lunch & chocolate. Melbourne even put on the sunshine for us! Aydin was a great host & catered for everyone’s needs.

Andrew the tourguide is a Very nice guys and really relaxed. He makes sure everyone feels welcome and creates a real group out of individuals. I had a really good time during the great ocean road trip,the BBQ and ofcourse the bonfire at night near and in the teepee. I would reccomend him always to take you on a trip! Thanks so much!

One of the highlights of my time in Melbourne. As a solo traveler, I highly recommend this tour- it's not only a great way to see some amazing sights but also a great way to meet some pretty awesome people. Andrew went out of his way to ensure that everyone had an outstanding, unique experience. DO IT.

Without knowing what to expect I went on the teepee tour with an open mind. I wanted to see the great ocean road and that was we were going to do. But it was so much more. Andrew was the best tour guide I ever met and made everybody feel a part of the group. He taught us how to surf and in the evening we were all sitting together, telling stories and listening to music. Later on in the teepee everybody was laying in bed with a campfire in the middle of the tent!
I never had an experience like this and I would recommend to everybody!
With the live music, small group and lovely people this was definitely the best choice for the great ocean road I could make.

I cannot say enough great things about Andrew and the Great Ocean Road trip. A few friends and I went on the two-day tour and truly loved every minute of it. Andrew is a super down to earth guy who's eager to create real connections with everyone on his trips. He takes his work seriously and wants to ensure everyone has a great time without going over the top or acting like your typical tour guide.
The Great Ocean Road tour was beautiful and experiencing it in such a small group made the experience even more memorable. Spending the night in the teepee was a super cool and unique experience that you won't get anywhere else.
I can't think of a better way to have toured GOR.

It was the tour that I wished.
Not too big, and not too busy doing something and relaxing in the nature, and enjoying the time.
Small group (11 people). So everyone could talk with each others and feel connected to others who are being friends after tour.
Hope Teepee tours keep going on their way.

This is a really fun and relaxed tour. I could not have asked for a better way to explore the great ocean road. What sets this tour apart from other tours is that not only you get to see the beautiful views that the great ocean road has to offer, but it's also a fun social experience. It's ideal for backpackers but also suitable for anyone else who is up for a camping trip.
Andrew is a really laid-back guy who genuinely cares about everyone feeling comfortable and having a good time. He creates a nice, social atmosphere that brings everyone together.
Thank you for two lovely days! :)

The BEST way to spend a few day! I had the best time with teepee tours, made some great friends and experienced the great ocean road in the best way I can imagine. Loved the laid back feel of the tour, it felt like going on a road trip with a bunch of friends rather than on an organised tour. The teepee itself is amazing and I loved sleeping in it. Andrew is so helpful, no request is too much and is really great at getting the group to socialise and get to know each other.. not to mention the best jam I’ve ever had, this guy can sure play the guitar! Would highly recommend!

I did the tour the few two days ago and I just want to say thank you to Andrew. He is a really nice guy and he takes care of everyone. We went to surf, we had a picnic, we saw the most beautiful spots of the GOR, we had a BBQ, we slept in the Teepee (really relaxing place), ..
Try it on your own, you won’t be disappointed.
This tour is really worth the detour and its price.

Hi, I’ve booked this activity 1+ year ago, and sadly you said that the trip is cancelled the last minute and the cancellation would be taken care on your side. I haven’t checked later on, but as I’ve come back to check on Tripadvisor to do another booking, I realized the activity was not cancelled, but “completed”. Could you check on your side? Thanks.

Hi there, thinking of coming along... but, unfortunately we aren't much of surfers. We love the idea of teepees and sleeping out on the beach. Are we cool to hang around and sip coffees watch you guys surf? My partner is still recovering from his knee surgery so it is a bit of stretch for us. Let us know!

That's totally fine, there were a few people who didn't surf in our group. Also - everyone on our tour was a complete beginner, and the lesson is really low key! Super fun!
Hi, I would like to check how is the sleeping arrangement like?

They have a giant teepee which is very cool and a fire to keep you warm at night! There is a small house right next to the teepee if you’d rather sleep there and it has a shower and a bathroom so use whenever but I recommend the teepee :-)

Yes, I am booking other areas and airfare. How can I find out the actual time of departure?
I see a pickup time or 11am on Tues but seems the option dates to book are on Wed. I'm confused.
