TESTIMONIALS

"We would like to thank you for your wonderful service! All 7 of us had a great day out. The food, drinks and service provided were fantastic. We have not stopped talking about it!"

Michelle (8 Jan 2022)

"Went on the 12 Apostles Food Tour and had a blast despite the dreary weather. It was a fantastic way to see the local crafts/artisans without having to lift a finger. We were wisely forewarned not to eat brekky, as there was so much food! Lindon was a very knowledge guide and had an interesting mix of local and outsider perspectives. The tour was for 6 people, which was an ideal for getting to know the others and sharing good conversation. My only wish would be for a fridge/freezer in the tour van, as it was difficult to resist the temptation to pick up foods along the way.”
