Sovereign Hill A Touch Of Gold Ballarat Tour

Really loved this tour!! So worthwhile and definitely one of the highlights of our trip! Our Klook driver was great and gave us commentary on the different landmarks and buildings along the way. We stopped at Pipers by the Lake for breakfast, which was delightful! The place was so pretty, surrounded by a beautiful garden. From there, it was only a 10-minute drive to Sovereign Hill. Our driver introduced us to our wonderful guide, Gary, who brought us around and made sure we caught the various performances and demonstrations. He was incredibly informative, helped us take lots of photos, and made the experience even more enjoyable. Sovereign Hill was SO FUN! It genuinely felt like stepping back in time. Even my mum and son, who get bored easily, had so much fun! 😂 We loved the gold panning, candy-making and gold bar demonstrations, as well as the underground mine tour. We only wished we had another 1.5 hours to explore! Absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend this tour! ❤️

Da denne aktivitet var lidt mindre populær, var der ikke mange deltagere, omkring 10 gruppemedlemmer. Guiden var venlig og imødekommende. Selvom det kun var en tur i en temapark, kunne jeg se, at han og parkens personale viste os de mest udvalgte og essentielle faciliteter, såsom guldvaskning, demonstration af guldstøbning, minetog osv. Skuespillerne i parken var også meget engagerede i deres roller og tog os med tilbage til guldfeberens tid. De var også meget gæstfri og fulgte os tilbage til bussen, så vi havde en dejlig dag.

Such a fun and memorable experience! Our Explore Australia guide was very friendly and shared interesting stories about Ballarat’s history along the way. We stopped briefly by a beautiful lake in Ballarat, where there’s a café for breakfast, hot chocolate, or coffee, then continued to Sovereign Hill, only about 10 minutes away. At Sovereign Hill, our guide was funny and engaging, and my son absolutely loved it! We learned about gold processing and even tried gold panning ourselves — and actually found some tiny gold flakes! The highlight was definitely the underground mine train. It was completely dark and so exciting, and we even got to see real gold embedded in the mine walls. Such a great experience, especially with kids. Fun, interactive, and full of fascinating history. Definitely worth trying!

Hele oplevelsen var fantastisk 👍🏻. Sovereign Hill føltes virkelig som en rejse tilbage i tiden, med mange NPC'er klædt i tidstypiske kostumer, der forklarede, hvordan folk levede dengang. Man kunne prøve at vaske guld, lære hvordan man lavede sukker og guldbarrer, osv. Det er helt klart et besøg værd. Det eneste, jeg fortryder ved hele oplevelsen, er, at jeg ikke havde tid nok til at få taget et sort-hvidt salonfoto i tidstypisk tøj. Guiden fortalte os ikke på forhånd, at det ville tage en time at få det færdige billede. Derfor, da jeg fandt butikken, der tog salonfotos, havde jeg kun mindre end en halv time, før vi skulle forlade parken, så jeg kunne umuligt vente på det færdige produkt. Jeg håber, at guiden fremover vil informere os om, hvor lang tid det tager, og hvis man ønsker at få taget et salonfoto, at vi så bliver taget derhen først, så sådan en situation ikke opstår.

En meget fornøjelig tur, Mark er en venlig og vidende turguide, han lærer os guldvaskning og fortæller os meget om områdets historie under turen. Da guldvaskning er virkelig interessant, anbefaler jeg bestemt denne aktivitet som en af de ting, man skal prøve i Melbourne.

We had a fantastic day at Sovereign Hill! The tour was very well organised, and everything ran smoothly from pickup to drop-off. There was so much to see and do, including gold panning, watching the blacksmith demonstrations, exploring the old streets, and learning about Australia's gold rush history. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and brought the town to life with their performances. It felt like stepping back in time. The free time was just right to explore at our own pace and take plenty of photos. This experience was enjoyable for both adults and children, making it a perfect family day trip from Melbourne. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Victoria. Great value for money and unforgettable memories!

An unforgettable experience! Gold panning, live shows, and the historic village made us feel like we stepped back in time. Definitely worth visiting when in Victoria.

Fantastisk oplevelse. Gary var en fremragende guide – altid glad for at forklare alle turistattraktionerne. Kan varmt anbefales!

Chaufførguiderne Darren og Lachie ydede fremragende service og var meget hjælpsomme. Oplevelsen var perfekt og kan varmt anbefales til alle. Guldvaskningen og mineoplevelsen var også af meget høj kvalitet.

十分有趣的旅程，只需1.5小時就由現代返回舊時礦場時代，環境優美，每個區域都有打扮古時人的工作人員。他們都十分友善，隨時都可以跟你拍照。餐廳食物有意外驚喜好味及有特色，建議嘗試。
