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.

Four of us recently had Nick expertly drive us around Rutherglen wineries in his beautifully restored and extremely comfortable 1955 Cadillac. Although having been to Rutherglen many times over the years this was such a unique experience for us all. With his friendly, easy going manner, Nick helped to make our day so enjoyable and an occasion to remember. I would thoroughly recommend you try this fun way to visit the wineries. We also enjoyed a great breakfast the following morning in Nick’s cafe, bakery and motor bike museum, “Caffeine Machine.”

Hope to see you all again.

Fantastic passengers. I think I had more fun and laughs than I had in awhile. It’s always a pleasure when you just go with the groove and relax and enjoy all that Rutherglen has to offer. Look forward to next time and more experiences. Thank you for being amazing passengers and also supporting the local industries with your stay and purchases. Post Covid it means so much more to everyone.

What a gem Nick is! We had the most fabulous day touring in Nicks beautiful old cars. Nick was able to give us some history along the way with a lot of laughs in between. He absolutely looked after us for the entire day and nothing was too much trouble. Thanks Nick, we will definitely be back for more adventures in your beautiful region!

What a wonderful day organised by NIck from Old School Cruisers. He asked what we wanted to see and taste. We left it up him, so we were in his hands for the day. He booked the wine tastings and recommended where to have lunch. He has a great knowledge of the area, which he shared with us as we were chauffeured around the wineries. Without a doubt one of the highlight was his well maintained cars. In the morning he picked us up in the caddy and after lunch we cruised around in the bel aire. Would we book Old School Cruisers again? Yes, without a doubt we would. Thanks Nick for a delightful day. George.

The day flew. The company was brilliant and I was privileged to have been able to show you around our region, olives , wine , cruising and long lunches. Thank you for your kind review. But most of all thank you for choosing us for your personalised tour. It is people like yourselves that never make it feel like a job. Come back soon. There is so much more to see!!! Thank you again.

Highly recommend. If you want to visit the Rutherglen wineries, why not travel in style?
After making a last minute decision to have lunch at a winery, Nick picked us up from our accommodation, provided recommendations on where to visit and was only a phone call away when we were ready to head home.
The cars were magical and in mint condition. Nick even spoilt us with a different caddy for the trip home.

When we have amazing people like yourselves it makes the job like helping out friends. Great flowing conversations about your memories of farm trucks and days evoked by our classic cars. We look forward to sharing Rutherglen’s region with you again sometime as there is so much to enjoy and see. Thank you for the photos and kind words. You will be remembered for years to come. Great people and kind words.

Professional friendly service, Nick went out of his way to look after us and take us between wineries. Also picked us up at short notice and brought me Rennie for my heart burn (Indian and red wine dont mix ha.)
Highly recommended!

You two where an amazing pair to have in the car. Conversation flowed easily and I understood your request with heartburn as I get it myself. Please come back again as I know there is so much more that Rutherglen and Old School Cruises can offer you. Thank you for your kind review.

On Saturday July 27th we went on a winery tour with Nick from Old School Cruises and what an experience it was!!! From the first time I made contact with Nick to the day he picked us up, nothing was too much trouble. We were able to choose the wineries we would like to visit and also the length of the time we would like to tour. Nick's knowledge on Rutherglen, the history of heritage buildings, and the history of the wineries were so interesting and informative - he really made us understand and appreciate the region even more.The three of us thoroughly enjoyed our tour and we would highly recommend Nick. If you want an exceptional host/driver and also to be seen driving down the Main Street in one of his many cool and vintage cars, then Old School Cruises is for you. Thank you Nick for making my husband's birthday a truly memorable experience. He loved it, as did our daughter and myself! Five stars all the way!!!

When you have beautiful customers who are understanding it makes an amazing day. We love to share our cars and the region to people such as yourselves. You where easy going and the afternoon turned out exceptionally well. I think the last stop was the winner for your Husband with a person wine experience. Come back again

Had the best day cruising around the wineries of Rutherglen.
What made this even better was the man who took us around, Nick is a hive of local info and a great guide who knows where to take you.
His love of the area and his cars is plain to see and it makes for a unforgettable day of laughs and great wines
Fully deserves the 5 star rating.
Also doubles as a great taxi to dinner or anywhere you need to go.

Was so great to spend half a day with you both. The day started with a laugh and ended with laughter. You both are amazing people with beautiful souls. Was a pleasure to hang out a little. Whether it was the winery cruise or the dinner drop off and pick up. The tour we saw both sides of the coin and some brilliant little wineries that care about their customers. We can’t wait for you to return to Rutherglen and take in more wineries and sites. Looking forward to it. Throw in Brad and Ria’s amazing hospitality we can’t see why you wouldn’t want to return. Take care. See you soon.

What an amazing experience! Thank you Nick. We had a fantastic time being chauffeur driven in your beautiful classic caddy for Winery Walkabout 2019. The car was immaculate. The heater was cranked and the tunes were pumping! Your truly professional, personalised service sure beats waiting in line for buses, and your knowledge of the local area is outstanding.
I highly recommend this service to everyone!

Thank you for choosing Old school Cruises for Walkabout Weekend of 2019. I’m glad you got to experience the reason we say “Better than a Bus , Cooler than Cab”. The experience is personal and not shared with strangers. You and your family went where you wanted and stayed as long as you needed and still saw several Wineries. Our cruises are personal and we go that extra distance to do the best we can. Rutherglen welcomes you and we hope to see you all again.
