Ben was great! The tour was exactly what we were looking for. An enjoyable day outside the big city, with plenty of wine and relaxation. He is very knowledgeable and informative. Highly recommend if you are looking for a great day outside the crowds.

My partner and I did a Hunter Valley wine tour that included a visit to 3 wineries in the valley. We paid a little extra to get picked up from/dropped off at our hotel and to enjoy a cheese plate at one of the wineries. Ben put together a full day schedule for us and was very prompt and pleasant throughout the day. Had great conversation on the drive up and was very knowledgeable about the area. Overall had a great experience with fantastic wines and local foods (cheese and chocolate). Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Sydney or looking to explore some of Australia's wine country!

Ben was an excellent tour guide for the day. Was punctual to arrive at our accommodation for the pick up and on the ride into Hunter Valley, he did not forget to guide us through the amazing natural scenery available just within Sydney. He was also quite knowledgable with Aussie wines too. We managed to visit 4 wineries on the day- Tyrrells, Brokenwood (light lunch there too), Audrey Wilkinson & Viden Wines. To top if off we visited the chocolate factory for a simple tasting. We had a blast :) not to mention how we were blessed with amazing blue skies and sunny weather on the day. Till next time!

Have previously reviewed Ben's Sydney tour. Excellent pre tour communications. Ben picked us up from our CBD hotel on time in a comfortable SUV and explained the history of the area on our drive to Hunter Valley. He is very knowledgeable on almost everything , locations, history or geography as well as the wineries of the Hunter Valley. We had chosen four wineries we wanted to visit - Tyrells VIP Premium Tasting Experience was outstanding and set a very high bar for the rest of our trip - Brokenwood Match Experience. 6 wines with matching canapes was OK but few of the wines were from Hunter Valley and didn't get to taste the best wines -Lunch was at Il Caciatore - Northern Tuscan lunch. excellent value, - Peppertree Wines -wanted to do the premium tasting, but this was unavailable. The ordinary tasting was VERY ordinary and the server disinterested, could not recommend this place -Mt Pleasant Wines Significant Sites Tasting. -lovely refurbished setting, great location and great wines, recommended. We had asked Ben to try to find some kangaroos and we spent a little time finding them successfully return journey was spent dozing, I will blame the jet-lag . Highly recommend Ben and personalised sydney tours

We had a wonderful time during our visit to the Hunter Valley. Ben was a great guide and facilitator. He provided excellent communication prior to the trip, was on time and provided a very comfortable schedule to take our time at all wineries. Would definitely recommend.

Ben was a awesome guy really down to earth and chilled. He had a good knowledge of the Hunter Valley Region and took us to wineries that were a bit more tucked away from the main tourist spots which made the experience all the more enjoyable and gave a very personalised feeling a amazing experience overall. Great value for money.

Very impressed with Personalised Tours Sydney. Our group went to Hunter Valley for the first time last week. The full day tour was definitely worth it. Ben is an excellent tour guide - knowledgeable and accommodating!
