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.

On a girls day trip from Brisbane. Vlad our driver was awesome. He gave us space but also kept us on schedule so we could visit and see the places we wanted to visit. He also put up with some bad singing as the day progressed 🤣
He was thoughtful, caring and very accommodating.
The bus was comfortable and Vlad provided a Bluetooth speaker to play our music.
I would thoroughly recommend this tour company and if you are lucky enough to get Vlad - perfect 😊

We can't recommend 3 Koalas enough!! Vlad was an amazing guide! We did the inclusive half day. The three wineries Vlad picked were truly amazing, ranging from a larger company to a one-man operation. With the inclusive, we didn't pay anything extra - just walked right into the tasting. And what great tastings! We tasted 10-12 at one location. Vlad was also a great tour guide, giving us some great details on the Yarra Valley. I'm honestly shocked at the low price. Our experience was easily worth twice as much. What a deal! Overall, we highly recommend the wine tour. Such a great way to get outside Melbourne and have a lot of fun!

We were looking for a half day tour option which would let us experience a bit of Yarra Valley while staying in Melbourne, and this one was excellent. The inclusive tour option included transport and wine tasting at three locations; Vlad was a great tour guide, telling us a bit about the region and spots we were visiting along the way!
Booking the tour was pretty straightforward, and they offered several different payment options and were responsive. Fit into our schedule perfectly (we could choose the pickup spot, with flexibility on the start time). If you're around Melbourne and want to get out of the city for a bit, this tour is a great way to do that.

Vlad was an excellent host. Knowledgeable and well organised. We really enjoyed the wineries he chose - the food and wines were excellent and the hosts were all lovely.

Vlad is a great tour guide. He knows the Yarra Valley well and is known in many of the vineyards. With a mixture of his knowledge and knowing roughly what we wanted to do (including kids) we were able to plan a great day seeing wildlife, drinking wine and going for ice cream. Great day despite the torrential rain and flooding!

Vlad is a great tour guide and is very understanding and helpful. He rearranged my tour when I had covid and held my deposit for a number of months. He is well known in the Yarra region and keeps the tour on track so we got to visit as many places as possible. All tastings were pre-booked and paid for, including lunch. It was a great day stress free day and my partner and I enjoyed Vlad’s company. Thank you Vlad :) Kristina & Troy

Vlad took us on a fantastic day through the Yarra Valley. We didn't give him much time to organise our day as we contacted him on a Monday for a trip on Friday but that was no problem. Vlad was also able to accommodate our request to visit Chandon as well as then making excellent choices for our other stops. Our lunch was fantastic and in the afternoon on Vlad's advice we visited a small independent winery which ended up being our biggest purchase site of the day. All in all we had a fantastic day with Vlad and would definitely utilise his services again.

Having never visited the Yarra Valley before, we decided on a personalised wine tour with Three Koalas. Everything was perfect, from the booking, pick up and drop off at our accommodation in the city! Vlad explained alot about the history of the region as he drove us to some beautiful boutique vineyards. We enjoyed a beautiful lunch at Soumah, and did not feel rushed at all. We would highly recommend Vlad if you a looking for a unique experience without the crowds.
A day we will remember.. thank you Vlad

Vlad was a wonderful host and organised everything beautifully. We chose our own wineries and Vlad booked everything for us. He was friendly and accommodating and I would not hesitate to recommend three koalas to anyone
