Review for: Join-In Tour

นี่คือคำแปลภาษาอังกฤษ: The guide gave us plenty of time at each stop, so we had more than enough time to fully enjoy every activity. We picked fresh cherries straight from the trees and could eat as much as we wanted. It was so much fun even in the rain, and all equipment was provided. We then had lunch at the Yarra Valley Chocolate Factory. The lunch was delicious, and the hot chocolate was amazing—especially the ruby chocolate. Next, we headed to Puffing Billy and rode the train with our legs hanging out, enjoying the scenery for the whole hour in our own private carriage. We took so many photos that we were exhausted! It was truly a worthwhile trip—well worth the time and money. The guide gave excellent service and recommended everything for us. We were very impressed.

Super recommended! The puffing billy train is one of a kind experience. The cherry picking though it was drizzling, it is still very fun! You can eat as many cherries as you want for free!

The tour guide spoke too fast. The tour bus didn't have curtains, and it was sunny the whole long journey, and the air conditioning wasn't sufficient at noon, which made it a bit tough in the summer. For the itinerary, the first stop was Cherry Hill for cherry picking. The farm was very big, and since we departed on December 28th, there weren't many cherries to pick on the trees. You had to spend some time finding them, but the freshly picked ones were indeed juicy and very sweet! The ice cream in the souvenir shop was very tasty, AUD$6.5 for one scoop. The second stop was the Chocolate Factory, which was super crowded on Sunday. It's recommended that the tour guide send the menu to the guests in advance to make it easier to order immediately upon arrival. The last stop was Puffing Billy, and the weather was great and the scenery was beautiful! A very good experience. We arrived back at the CBD at 7:10 pm.

glad they opened up a slot for this itinerary. driver arrived on time and we did the puffing billy 1-way trip first. cabin were assigned and it was not that crowded. 2nd, we went to the chocolate factory. we didn't get a slot for the tasting as it was fully booked. order your food early as well as it takes time. we only had dessert here. ordered a choco mousse and hot choco. 3rd location, cherry picking which was the reason we got this tour. great experience. try their cherry soft served and chocochip it was good

A nicely paced tour. Perhaps a little more time could be allocated to the Chocolate factory and restaurant as it would take time for us to place orders and get our meals served. Apart from that it was a beautiful day for cherry picking, visiting the Chocolatery and waving at people watching Puffing billy go by 😊

Upon reaching the pick up point in the am like 10 mins earlier than the agreed pick up time, the driver Rick was there like a few minutes later and he’s early not just punctual after me and my friend got seated we went to the last pick up point to pick up the rest and off we go. Rick is a very detailed and nice tour guide and also his driving skills is superb. He is very helpful and also very nice to all of us and even make sure that he do his job well and always looking out for us. Overall I am very satisfied with this trip with Mr Rick! thank you so much! made my day and also my trip a very memorable one!
