SOME REVIEWS ON YARRA VALLEY WINERY TOURS AND BEER TOURS
Class Act!!!
My girlfriend and I had such a fantastic day, the communication once I had made contact was exceptional and to be honest have not stopped talking about the day. Mark our driver was the nicest of guys and contributed to us having such a great time. Thank you so much! Kindest Regards, Greg
Mark was a great guide for us and made sure that we enjoyed the day.
Absolutely. We had a fantastic time touring round teh vineyards of Yarra Glen. Our driver Mark was an exceptional story teller and kept us amused as we sailed through the valley.
Just had a fantastic day!!
We had a fantastic day - the weather held out - no RAIN!!!!! roof was off, a bit fresh but was worth getting a bit cold for. Mark our driver was fabulous and very knowledgeable and prompt. We had a great day, plenty of flexibility and his recommendations were great. We went to Moet Chandon first for a pink champagne and cheese to start with, then went the Yering Station for more wine tasting and a nice lunch (bit pricy) but fabulous view. then we went to Sticks and Balgowie for mine wine tasting and plenty of purchases. Once the boot was full (which is not easy in a Chevvy) we took off for home, using the back roads to Yarra Valley which we had never done before or even knew existed (fantastic). We would like to say a big thank you to Mark who was great fun and a pleasure to have drive for us (better him than us)!!!!
We had an absolutely sensational day. It is such a fantastic way to treat friends. Everyone had such a fantastic day. Thanks.
It was a plesure to be involved,id do it agin...my kids loved it. my supplier did a great job.
Very good. Recommended
Fantastic day, what a quirky way to see the Yarra Valley would recommend it over the big tour buses any day. Emma our quide was brilliant, friendly, informative all in all a very laid back day.....especially after sampling the wine!!
The guy mark knew what he was talking about and knew the area which made it great. Thanks
Chevrolet Convertible Winery Tour
Had a great time. Mark was friendly & knowledable about the wine industry. The car was great. We got to experience hood down & up. He gave us space at the wineries. Liked going to the smaller more personal wineries. Great choice for lunch.
The experience supplier was superb to deal with and the driver was absolutely lovely - as well as getting us from point A to point B in style, he was great company - very friendly & chatty.
Chevrolet Convertible Winery Tour
What a great day, wind through our hair, lunch at a beautiful winery - very relaxing and would recommend to anybody.
The best day! Definitely do it! Our driver Emma was FANTASTIC and the car was amazing. The schedule was perfect - we got to see lots of big and small wineries without rushing. Awesome.
This Yarra Valley Tour in a Chevy was a guift for my 60th Birthday from my wife and daughter. I invited my brother, brother-in-law and my wife to join me and we had a good day. Mark our host and driver, was very obliging and we felt very comfortable and at ease with him. He as informative. Best of all the day was just right, a little overcast but mostly sunny and just right for an open top drive.
You delivered exactly what was advertised, we were very happy with the day, and our driver Mark was absolutely excellent.
It was Fantastic!!!We all had a great time.
Top Down Tours was excellent, our driver Mark was on time polite and informative. we could stay long as we wanted at each winery. he booked us into Yering Station for lunch which was wonderful and during the day we were able to visit 5 wineries. A most pleasant and relaxing tour of the Yarra Valley and could not recommend it highly enough.
Great to get an overview almost like a tour guide from our driver. We learnt not only about food and wine, but also heard back stories about the areas once devastated by bushfires, but now so beautiful and green. A top girl's trip for bubbles, lunch, cheese and a bit of a breeze!!!
The winery tour was great experience as my partner and I usually visit the Yarra Valley on a regular basis but our driver for the day "Mark" was just the best tour guide as we saw different wineries that we never even knew exisited. Had a very good fun packed day even though the weather was not the best meaning (we couldnt have the top down) we just had a great time and would recommend it to all our friends as a great guift or even just a pampered day out.
Red Balloon provided a magnificent site for "experience" gifts for those who have everything or something a little our of the ordinary.The chauffer driven beer tour was an amazing experience that we were honored to have experienced with our Aunt and Uncle as a gift to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. Thankyou for this experience!!!!!!
We found the experience very seamless beginning with our first contact with Emma of Top Down when we confirmed our Booking.Mark our chaffeur was able to pick us and deliver us home safely,it helped that we lived on route to the Yarra Valley. The Buick Convertible was fantastic as we powered through the fog to the Yarra Valley ,the tastings at the various wineries were pleasant and generous.You could see that Mark was well versed in his knowledge and acknowledged by the winery owners and staff,a great day enjoyed by all. Gary and Yvonne.Frank and Barb.
Had an excellent day, the car was early at the pickup point, car was in really good condition for an older vehicle. Our driver was pleasant and sociable noting various points of interest on the trip to the Yarra Valley. We went to some smaller wineries which meant we missed the "tour bus crush" & finished off De Bortolis with a cheese tasting, all in all a very enjoyable day.

good trip, good fun, good driver, & good beer!!
We loved the experience Emma was great, ready & waiting for us when we arrived in town for the experience and went out of her way all day to make sure that we were all happy, all day, a great person . We were taken to good wineries including places that we had not heard of, had some really good conversations with some of the people at cellar door and learnt some things along the way. The lunch at Yering station was wonderful. Unfortunately the weather was not as good as it could of been, but we really enjoyed the day, if the sun had of been shining all day, how good would that have been. We are thinking that we could make this an annual trip, there is so much to been seen in the Yarra Valley we could go back again
It was a fantastic experience and my wife & I thoroughly enjoyed the day. We couldn't have asked for better person than Mark to take us around. Mark was very knowledgeable about the wineries in the region. Mahendran
Awesome tour, friendly informative guide, great fun ride in the chevy and far too much wine being delivered in the next couple of weeks.
A GREAT DAY WAS HAD BY ALL OF US.MARK,OUR DRIVER WAS VERY IMFORMATIVE AND LOOKED AFTER US VERY WELL.
