perfect in every way - We hired iHop to drive for our 29th wedding anniversary, and we wanted to design our own tour with their help. Kristy was enormously helpful, flexible, and accommodating. She made some excellent suggestions of specific cellar door visits and carved out time for a lunch we had already booked. The entire experience was top notch. Kristy is friendly, knowledgeable, and generous. We can not imagine a more perfect day in the Hunter Valley. Kristy even went out of way on our return to the hotel to ensure we had our first sighting of kangaroos in Australia.

Perfect Wine Day! - We had a wonderful experience on our wine tour last week with Tim! Everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Tim was punctual, friendly, and made us feel safe throughout the day. The selection of wineries was excellent, with a great variety to suit all tastes. Besides all the delicious wines, we especially loved the cheese and chocolate pairings—they were a real highlight! Tim was knowledgeable and made the experience stress-free and enjoyable. Highly recommend for a relaxed and well-organised wine day!

A truly enjoyable experience! - Tim was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, well-organised, and friendly. The wineries we visited were fantastic, with great atmospheres and lovely people. Everything on the tour was well planned and ran smoothly. Tim even offered to take photos for us throughout the tour. Communication was clear and easy throughout. I especially loved the mix of cheese and wine tasting, along with the chocolate and wine pairing. A truly enjoyable experience!

Great for an afternoon in the Hunter - Great tour. Just enough information but left us to enjoy wineries and distillery. Good selection of places to visit and no hard sales pitches.
