    Laura W., Tacoma, United States - Yarra Valley tour, May'16

    I planned an incentive trip for some of our customers. I needed to book something for their guests to do on the day we had our customers at our corporate offices and decided a Yarra Valley Wine Tour was in order. We decided to book through Bilby Travel. I was a bit nervous because I wasn't going to be at the hotel when they picked up our guests and I wasn't going to be on the tour nor had we used Bilby before. Max at Bilby coordinated everything, picked up our guests in the hotel lobby and took them for the day. All the guests reported back that Max was a great tour guide, a great driver, and they had a wonderful day with him. They told me I should use him again. The day included wineries, lunch, a chocolate stop and a cheese business. We will be using him again in February 2017!

    The tour was very well organised. From the initial enquiry right through to the day of the tour everything was planned and communicated well. Thanks Max & Michael for the wonderful organisation, the team and myself had a wonderful day and it was beyond what we expected. Will definitely use your services in the future. Thank You!
