Not to be missed - Walking tour of Daylesford - If you do one thing in Daylesford then go on this walking tour with Daizy. She is a reservoir of the history of the area and delivers it in a very easy going manner. The tour is quite compact and the kids enjoyed it too. Not to be missed.

Alice's Special 2026 Chillout Festival Hepburn Walk - 10 storytelling stops highlighting quirky local history. - I thought I knew Hepburn Springs, but Alice's Special 2026 Chillout Festival Hepburn Walk showed me how much more there is to the history of this beautiful place. Starting at the Mineral Springs Hotel and finishing at the Macaroni Factory, there were 10 stops on the walk where we were regaled with interesting stories about the people who have contributed to the quirky history of Hepburn. There was time for questions and overall, a very chilled vibe among the group. It was a fabulous start to Chillout! I would highly recommend.

Guided Tour in daylesford - We met up with Daizy, our tour guide at the visitors information centre. She warmly welcomed us and gifted us chocolate from the local producer. We followed Daiszy to several hidden treasures of the town, while listening to her explaining the history and stories of the many architectural facilities such as the goldmine factory, the townhall, the post office, the primary school, the old bank of daylesford, and angelo and Catholic churches in daylesford. Daizy is extremely knowledgeable with the area, if you are interested in history of daylesford you should book this tour. Completing this guided tour also gives you a free entry to the daylesford museum.

A wonderful walk! - Alice's Journeys is an absolutely fascinating insight into the history of Daylesford and the region. Walking through the streets, the stories of the town and its history comes alive with Daisy's deep historical knowledge, peppered with some extraordinary stories of people, and the opportunity to pop inside historic buildings. I'd thoroughly recommend for a new perspective on a much loved part of Victoria, that will enrich your understanding of the town, its people and the role it has played in shaping Australia.

Walking tour of Daylesford - A great introduction to the beautiful town of Daylesford . We thoroughly enjoyed our walk with the lovely Daizy. Very interesting and informative tour. We learnt many facts about Daylesford, Melbourne, Victoria and the Gold Rush. It was great to wander around this very picturesque, historical town, enjoying a history lesson at the same time.
We can thoroughly recommend.

Hepburn Springs Camino. - We did Swiss Italian Camino Hepburn Springs with Daisy as our guide. I found it extremely interesting as I have a northern Italian background. Daisy gave us a great insight into the history of the early Swiss Italian settlers. I would recommend this tour.
