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.

From the booking process to the actual tour, the whole experience was handled so professionally, personal and in a very relaxed manner. Myself and two friends enjoyed a day of touring a nice mix of small and boutique wineries, a lovely lunch at a local restaurant and topped the day with a visit to a local cheese maker. Our guide Gareth was so attentive but he did not hover or make us feel rushed. Form the warm welcomes we received its evident he and his family who run the business are well known and liked amongst the community of wineries. We are not Hunter Valley beginners, we've been on our fair share of tours, this one topped the lot and we would highly recommend this tour to any group type and we will certainly have them at the top of our list for future trips.

We hired Hunter Valley Private Tours to pick us up at our hotel in Sydney then take us to a half day of wine tasting. The following day we had four winery visits plus the most delicious lunch we had in Australia at Baume. Rebecca also drove us back to Sydney at the conclusion of our stay. All of the tastings and lunch were included in the fee, which made it easy. I cannot underscore enough how amazing this experience was due to Rebecca‘s vast knowledge of the region, connections with incredible winemakers and the care that she put into planning and delivering our experience. Rebecca crafted a beautiful itinerary for us which allowed us to try so many different wines. We loved that she was extremely flexible when we needed to make changes to our schedule. Highly recommend Hunter Valley Private Tours to anyone visiting the region for a truly exceptional experience!

We recently engaged Hunter Valley Private Tours for a customised, full day tour. Our driver and guide, Rebecca, was brilliant.
The tour included a number of boutique vineyards we were familiar with, and noteably, one that Bec suggested. The day was seamless from start to finish, and the approach was calm, professional and good humoured at all times.
The highlight was undoubtedly the last winery of the day (Bec's booking), which not only guided us through their amazing standard tasting list, but then a host of "non-standard" samplings as well. Despite the unexpected hour or so extra, there was no clock watching, we never felt rushed, and the hospitality from both our hosts and our tour company was generous and genuine.
We will be back.

The team from Hunter Valley Private Tours are all members of the same family, and make you feel like you're part it! Gareth was out guide, and went out of his way to make sure we experienced some wineries off the beaten track and away from the crowds on a busy winter weekend.
He was thoughtful to include experiences tailored to our interests, and made the whole tour personal by introducing us to the winery owners and their stories.

What an absolutely amazing way to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. Gareth was our guide and he made the day so enjoyable, he had plenty of stories to tell and took us to some amazing wineries as well as both chocolate and cheese tastings. Our wine rack is now well stocked with some of the most amazing wines we’ve tasted. We loved having a private tour that was just the two of us. Thanks for an incredible day, we look forward to touring with you next time!

I am over the moon with everything this family run business had to offer. We were picked up on time and taken around to "Boutique wineries" which is so much nicer than going to all of the larger commercial ones. We were taken to 4 boutique wineries in addition to an amazing lunch at Baume which was equally as wonderful. All of the wineries were just so pleasant to be at and the wines were incredible. We ended off with a tour to a cheese factory which was outstanding and everyone hosting the tastings were friendly and very helpful and most importantly not pushy. We purchased wines at our leisure and would not hesitate to recommend this family run business to anyone in the future. In fact, I have already recommended the tour to several of my friends. Thank you so much for being amazing in all that you had to offer! Kind regards, Angela Beazley

I did a private wine tour (full day with lunch) with my family and partner recently and it was fantastic. We were very impressed with both the variety and quality of the wineries and the restaurant for lunch (Baume - delicious and very generous portions) that Rebecca organised for us. I would highly recommend Hunter Valley Private Tours to anyone visiting the Hunter Valley. We had such an enjoyable and relaxing day - thanks Rebecca!

I'd give 10/5 rating if I could.
I had a special occasion in mind for my SO, and Rebecca was able to accommodate my specific requests, to ensure maximal surprise for our "Perfect" day.
For special occasions, Hunter Valley Private Tours is the best place to go to, I have reviewed other options in the area, and for its price point is undoubtedly the best value for money easily after reviewing my options in the area.
Gareth, was an amazing photographer and was got extremely great shots, and was extremely generous with the shots, which is what you are after if you want to capture the moment. A lot of photographers have a limit of X amount of photos they will take, but in our case Hunter Valley Private Tours was extremely generous in all aspects.
It was also extremely assuring throughout preparing for the special day, that Rebecca was able to take phone calls, and text messages to go over the plan.
The wine tours themselves are also a great experience, and the pick of the wineries are also very reflective of the regions, with some of the quaint areas recommended to be a very nice surprise.
One of the areas we went to called, the hanging tree was certainly a highlight, a long-ago retired cattle farm, with elements of decor from its past through its infrastructure, vehicles and equipment. Gives it a great rustic vibe with subtle hints to the rich history of the area too.
So! if you're looking to have a 'special' experience with Hunter Valley Private tours with your SO, and have a plan involved with various layers of complexities, give these folks a call!

Be sure to mention this conversation and we'll add in something special with our compliments.
