Dingen om te doen in Hunter Region

We had a fantastic day! Our tour guide, Drew, was both knowledgeable and funny. We absolutely loved the round trip transfer option from Sydney (it’s what made this tour standout to us from others), it was easy to get to the meet up/drop off location and we didn’t have to worry about how to get to and from Sydney to Hunter Valley. The quality of the wine and amount we had (plus the gin and vodka tasting) was really good. The cheese and chocolate pairings with the wine were really nice. Pizza/wine lunch was delicious (multiple pizzas ordered to share) I really enjoyed the chicken pizza and the pear salad (pictured). After our last winery stop we went kangaroo spotting which was fun. Thank you Drew and Dave’s Tours, this was really enjoyable, highly recommend!

Chen is een geweldige gids/chauffeur, maar... De ontmoetingstijd bij het centraal station op het reisschema dat ik ontving was 6:45 uur. Ik heb geen e-mail ontvangen van de touroperator waarin wijzigingen in het reisschema werden doorgegeven, dus ik ging om 6:40 uur en wachtte tot 7:00 uur. Ik raakte in paniek omdat ik niemand had om contact mee op te nemen behalve de Klook AI-klantenservice en het duurde eeuwen voordat een echt persoon reageerde. Ik gaf niet op, maar bleef op dezelfde plek tot 7:55 uur. Eindelijk arriveerde het busje en kreeg ik te horen dat ik in kan stappen. De tour was prima, maar het hoofdgerecht van de lunch was flauw. De voedselopties waren pasta met romige saus met kip, zalm of groenten, of een burger. We waren met een groep van 7 en niemand van ons heeft het eten opgegeten.

It was my first time riding a hot air balloon, and I'm so grateful for the great weather. Waking up at 3:30 AM was totally worth it. We stayed at a nearby hotel, and it was only a 5-minute drive to the meeting point. Afterward, we were able to head back to the hotel for a short rest before heading out again. I was originally worried that being up so high would be terrifying, but it was so stable that I didn't even realize how high we were flying. Soaring through the sea of clouds to watch the sunrise was stunning, and beautiful! All the staff members were very friendly, and the breakfast was also delicious. Highly recommended!

The tour guide was genuine and very gentle, making the bus ride very enjoyable, even though it was a very long one. He was telling us about many different things and interesting facts about Australia.

We had an absolutely fantastic day on the Hunter Valley wine tour with Newy Tour Co. Despite being the only two guests booked, Nathan made the experience feel personal, relaxed and incredibly enjoyable. He was friendly, knowledgeable and a great host throughout the day. The tour offered a perfect mix of wine tastings, spirits, food and wine pairings, finishing with a wonderful cheese and wine experience. The venues were thoughtfully selected, and every staff member we met was welcoming, knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. From start to finish, the day exceeded our expectations and was one of the highlights of our visit. We highly recommend Newy Tour Co and will definitely book again the next time we’re in Newcastle. Thanks, Nathan, for an exceptional day!

I highly recommend the winery tour! Guide Lee Soon-kwon's informative explanations and the wineries he selected are fantastic. Instead of just going to a winery and drinking wine, the itinerary is very well-structured with informative explanations and wine tastings where you can compare different types. Guide Lee Soon-kwon took lots of photos for us and was so kind! If you are looking for a special tour and want to experience the peaceful and quiet Australian countryside, I definitely recommend this package! (It's also totally fine if you're traveling alone!! They take great care of you so you won't feel lonely at all!)
