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.

We organised a transfer from Sydney to Batemans Bay with Steve of VIP Tours. Steve is a very friendly person, a wonderful driver with a very good personality and he has a very comfortable van. We made a number of changes to our booking with Steve because our itinerary kept changing and Steve was kind enough to accommodate all of our changes and he was very patient. He answered all of our emails very quickly. We really enjoyed his company and enjoyed the ride home. He knew all the streets in Sydney and knew which route to take to avoid traffic bank-ups. I would recommend anyone to book him for a tour or transfer, as I am sure they would have a wonderful time.

Steve drove us to Moruya airport and collected us from our Sydney hotel 3 days later. I'm rarely driven by someone else without finding fault or feeling nervous. Steve drove us for 4.5 hours and never once did I feel uneasy. Clearly driving with passenger comfort in mind, never too close to the vehicle ahead, anticipating the traffic and watching behind. We still arrived home in good time.
Spotless and freshly sanitised VW, Steve was totally reliable and took care to ensure we both understood pickup place and time, and kept us posted by text on expected arrival (never certain with Sydney traffic).
Small things: I would have liked an introduction to the vehicle, I didn't find the folding armrests until late, location of reading lights, presence of water (not in reach), if I could adjust the climate control, or if we would like some music. I know I can ask but I think being offered would be more welcoming.
I also found the ride on some poor surfaces a bit uncomfortable, this might be more reflective of my own BMW.
Recommended.

The weather was abysmal, nevertheless Steve provided a really interesting 1/2 day tour of many highlights we had totally missed on our own! He was very knowledgeable about the local area, very courteous and accommodating. We really enjoyed the day and are resolved to come back to this beautiful area to further explore some of the amazing locations Steve took us to. Thoroughly recommend this tour, just sorry we did not have time to do the full day tour which sounds fabulous!

We loved every minute of our private tour with Steve. We were on a cruise making a brief stop in Eden, and he packed a lot into our visit. He arranged for us to have a private encounter with native species (koalas, echidna, wallaby and kangaroos) in a wildlife sanctuary, Potoroo Palace, which was extraordinary. We then visited an oyster farm (Merimbula Gourmet Oysters) and learned how they produce their top quality oysters. Meanwhile, Steve set us up with a fabulous gourmet picnic in an idyllic spot beside Merimbula Lake, featuring delicious local produce and sparkling wine — and of course a couple of platters of Pip and Dom’s fresh oysters served both raw with various sauces and grilled on the barbecue. We finished off with a visit to a couple of the stunning beaches in the area. From start to finish, we had a fabulous day and hope to return to the region in the future.

Steve drove us along the coast, explaining the history and showing many scenic highlights, of which there are in abundance. Our group would highly recommend Steve, he’s knowledgeable and friendly, the vehicle is clean and comfortable, and time flies by quickly.

The whole day was a wonderful experience. Steve provided a wealth of local knowledge as we travelled through the lush hill side townships. The food, made with local produce, was fabulous. My compliments to the Cheff where we had our lunch. Then on to the Brewerys with plenty of laughs and good times had. Loved the Stouts. Thank you Steve and I highly recommend your services.
