Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My friend and I had a wonderful trip to the Hunter Valley Wine Region where we sampled 16 wines in total and 6 spirits.
The transport was very modern and comfortable and Tom our tour guide was very accommodating and entertaining.
The first cellar door visit included a tour of the vineyard and explanation of the wine process, as well as the tasting. This was naturally the best of the 3 cellar door visits.
The second cellar door was a wine tasting with chocolate pairings which is very rare in the region.
Our last wine visit was at the same location as lunch, this is not a vineyard but you do taste a variety of wines from the local region with cheese combinations.
Lunch was satisfactory, big portions and a nice range of drink options to choose from.
Overall would highly recommend the trip.

Our guide and driver was Ronnie. He was one of the best and most interesting guides I have experienced in many a year. Good work Ron.
The hikes were great, but a bit strenuous for some less fit people

We had an amazing time on this trip, lots of wine tasting and a great lunch. Our first stop was Iron Gate Estate and we were looked after by Jade, who I have to say was so easy to listen to and really knows her stuff. After that we had wine and chocolate tasting and then on to another winery where we had a tasty lunch followed by wine and cheese tasting. The last stop was a distillery where we were treated to gin and vodka tasting. Our driver/guide whose name was Tom was really great.

Hi Stuart, we're sorry we couldn't fulfill your booking and glad you found an alternative (which we also provide). We made multiple attempts to get in touch ahead of time to advise of the cancellation of the tour. We left two voicemails on 28th of October advising the possibility of the tour being canceled, and on the 29th we left another voicemail confirming its cancellation. We also left you a message via the Viator platform offering to rebook you on another date. The first we heard from you was this review.
Now we know you have already travelled; we have approved your refund (you paid Viator not us).

Excellent day around Blue Mountains. Despite not having the best weather, we still visited some great spots. Peter was the best tour guide, very friendly, chatty and happy.

Our trip to Canberra, from Sydney, was truly wonderful. We learned so much from our tour guide, and coach driver - both were extremely well informed and worked together well to keep us moving and on-time. The tour leader had hand-outs for us, diagrams of the city of Canberra, and got us very involved in understanding the history and architecture. The bus trip is long but there was a lot of information delivered along the way - do your best not to doze off!
Our only complaint was that there were 49 people and only one tour guide, so difficult to hear sometimes, and difficult to keep the entire group together.

Fantastic day. Very different from a normal winery tour. The pairing of wine and chocolate and also wine and cheese and a very informative talk & tasting from Jade at Iron Gate Estate, made for a lovely and different day out. The added addition of visiting Hunter Distillery for Gin, Vodka & Schnapps tasting was an added highlight. Our driver Tom did a fantastic job and looked after us very well throughout the day. Throughly enjoyable day.
