We did Swiss Italian Camino Hepburn Springs with Daisy as our guide. I found it extremely interesting as I have a northern Italian background. Daisy gave us a great insight into the history of the early Swiss Italian settlers. I would recommend this tour.

What an enjoyable, comprehensive and exciting walking tour. Our guide Daisy was friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the area. We got to see inside a bunch of buildings and had some things pointed out that we wouldn’t have discovered without doing the tour. Highly recommended and a great way to centre yourself in the town and ignite other adventures in the region!

I've been visiting Daylesford for years and consider myself a temporary local. I was just amazed at what I had missed in terms of history, buildings and people. Daisy was awesome and very insightful with her knowledge. Particularly loved getting into the old police lock up and courthouse. Highly recommend.

Daisy led the walk around Daylesford. She was very informative and knew the history of Daylesford. I liked how she situated the history in a global context. One of the best guided walks I’ve been on. Even though the weather was crap the group was enthusiastic and Daisy checked in with us regularly making sure we were all ok. Awesome!
