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.

Just completed a tour through the Victorian High Country with The off road tradies. Luke, Curl and Deano went out of their way to ensure we had the best experience of this beautiful country. If we were not able to take a track because of the weather, Luke and Curls knowledge enabled us to see something just as spectacular. The food was amazing with all needs catered for and we never went hungry. If a breakdown occurred, it was fixed quickly so that no time was lost. Would definitely recommend a tour of the beautiful Australian countryside with The Off Road Tradies.

WOW. What an experience The Offroad Tradies gave us over 6 days.
With us having a basic knowledge of off roading, the crew at The Offroad Tradies helped us grow in confidence as they took us from a gentle hut tour on the first day, small climbs on the 2nd day to some of the best known spectacular 4x4 tracks in Victoria over the next 3 days, if not Australia. Fantastic food prepared fresh every day. Campfires at night and lots of laughs as they made our entire group feel at ease and welcome. Very highly recommend going on any of The Offroad Tradies expeditions. Keep up the great work.

I literally can't praise this trip highly enough. We just did 6 days in the Victorian high country with Luke and Curl and can truthfully say it was way beyond any expectations that I had. The days were well thought out and built on the day before, increasing our 4x4 skills to an extremely competent level. Having the guys work tirelessly behind the scenes cooking the most amazing food and morning tea was next level and we felt very spoilt. (and we were never hungry!) The friends we made, the laughs we shared and the things we saw will stay with me forever and we are planning to do another trip with the guys next year. If, like us, you have no 4x4 Friends and you want to gain confidence whilst being safe in a group, then look no further than The Off Road Tradies. Just awesome!

100% recommend these Tradies.
Having just recently finished the Victorian High Country tour with the Offroad Tradies I cannot sing their praises high enough!
Had the most amazing 4wdriving and camping adventure made perfect by their attentiveness to everyone's needs including dietary needs when it came to preparing gourmet meals for us.
Many laughs and great story telling was had around the nightly campfires along with some very funny radio banter.
Luke and Curl, thanks so much for creating a memorable trip for us and will definitely be seeing you guys again on another tour.

Genuine guys with a genuine passion for people, 4x4 and the bush.
I did the outback NSW adventure with the guys and a small group and to be honest all the positive reviews are justified. I won’t go into too much detail however I now have a greater appreciation for the country since my trip.
The brilliance of the outback ruggedness, characters, places and the general ambience for a city slicker was a real eye opener.
The guys have a great appreciation for what they do and how they conduct themselves .
If you want to see the real outback and you have a 4x4 and a sense of adventure the investment with the team is well worth it.
Great food , great company and good times
Cheers

Their published daily itinerary is a useful reference guide. However, we very quickly became aware that the published itinerary is only one of the possible options for that day. On occasion, this was due to changing circumstances or road conditions/closures etc, which of course is perfectly understandable. However, the tradies also made changes to both routes & destinations from time to time, as they saw fit. In our experience, these changes to the itinerary were always motivated by Luke & Curl's desire to deliver the best possible experience for their guests.
We felt safe at all times. All experiences were managed with sensitivity to risk and ensuring that a good time was had by all guests.
Luke & Curl are both likeable blokes, easy to be around and easy to get along with. They frequently sought the opinions of guests and always endeavoured to deliver on any special requests, whether that be food or itinerary related.
Memorable highlights in the catering department included the serving of hot pies while we visited a lookout on day 1. Then later in the tour, the serving of a spectacular camp oven prepared roast pork meal. At one point, we were surprised to be served impressive hors d'oeuvres prior to dinner. A delicious sunset BBQ on the iconic Big Red was another catering highlight.
All in all, the OffRoad Tradies delivered a very special and memorable Simpson Desert experience for us, one that we will treasure for years to come.

Just finished the Vic High Country, seriously well worth doing. These guys are down to earth and proffecional at the sane time. Do yourself a favour. Get out with these guys and enjoy the country for what it really has to offer.

Wife and I completed a 4x4 tour with The.offroad.tradies in the beautiful Victorian high country.
Had an awesome time with these guys guiding us through areas I would never of found by myself or dared to take on alone.
Those who know me, know I like to travel alone and do things my way, but being very unfamiliar with the area and a very different environment to what I am use to, I jumped at this opportunity.
The experience they provided was not just a tag-along over easy dirt roads stopping at accessible sights and locations, but some tracks that will challenge most off roaders and reward you with amazing views.
Thanks to Luke, Kylie, Rod, Kim and Curl from TheOffroadTradies and others on tour for making it an awesome experience.
