AI summary of 48 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the knowledgeable and personable guides who create a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere throughout the tour, with particular appreciation for their local expertise, flexibility and ability to cater to individual preferences and dietary choices. The standout feature is the combination of three quality stops—typically a rum distillery, brewery and gin distillery—where visitors learn about production processes and enjoy well-selected tastings in beautiful venues, alongside opportunities to meet other travellers and form connections. The tour operates at an unhurried pace with no pressure to purchase, and guides often share local tips and wildlife spotting opportunities, making it a memorable afternoon experience; the only minor caveat raised is the occasional inability to accommodate specific requests, such as song selections during the journey.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
“Great staff and fun experience”
The staff were friendly and full of information. I came on my own but they made me feel at ease and tailored the tastings to what each of us liked.
“Awesome”
A great driver and a great group. I travelled solo and everyone made me feel welcome.
“Fantastic!!”
A lovely Sunday afternoon. Jarryd picked us up on time, shared local history and tips, and took us to two breweries and a gin distillery in a beautiful spot, with the hosts at each explaining their story and their drinks. There were just two couples and we all clicked, and it beat our expectations.
“Best tour!!!”
The best tour I've done. Jarryd was a fantastic driver and guide and really made the afternoon, and all three stops were perfect.
“Fantastic distillery and brewery tour in Byron/Ballina area”
We learnt how rum is made at the rum distillery and had a pina colada served in a frozen pineapple, then tasted beers at the brewery next door and finished with a G&T and gin tastings at the gin distillery. There were six of us and the driver was really friendly.
“Best tour ever!”
Jarryd was a legend driving us around: professional, on time and a pleasure to spend the afternoon with.
