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! ❤️

Our tour guide, Cloudy, introduced us to the area and its history along the way. Although the drive was long, it was well worth it. Every detail of Sovereign Hill was fascinating, like stepping into a game world. I wish we could have spent more time there.

Length of visit: 1 day Crowd size: 8 pax Tour guide: Joe Shout out to our tour guide Joe for being such an amazing and friendly person. He knew the right places to go and the right things to do. I enjoyed chatting with him throughout the ride in the passenger seat next to him! He showed us wild emus and kangaroos and I was genuinely awestruck. Also loved the hiking experience at the Grampians in the winter season, such a unique experience and wonderful view.

We had a lovely time at Craig's Hotel. The only thing about our room was the air-conditioning wasn't working and there was no fan. I spoke to reception and we were quickly offered another room, with working air-conditioning and with a balcony. It was lovely! 💖💖💖 The only thing that needs attention is the mini fridge is leaking water inside. l forgot to mention it on the day we left. 🤦‍♀️
