They have fantastic, knowledgeable tour guides, along with helpful staff at their motel. The accommodations are simple yet very clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. One of the memorable parts of the trip was visiting a charming café surrounded by lavender fields. Throughout my three-day stay, I felt very welcomed, especially as a single traveler in my later years. I wish the entire team much success!

My partner finally had the chance to drive on the left side of a vehicle, which was exciting! The tunnels were a highlight and very cool. I highly recommend this experience!

Everyone involved throughout the trip was incredibly helpful and friendly. The scenery was stunning, and we loved hearing the early stories of the area. The homemade baked goods were a delightful touch, and we found the lunch portions to be more than enough, especially with the lovely floral arrangement. We became skilled rail cart drivers in no time! This experience is unlike any other we've had and will stay with us for a long time. Thank you for sharing this beautiful part of the country with us!

We chatted the whole journey and I know I learnt heaps more than others. As a person with mobility issues, I use a stick, staff were extremely helpful. They took a step so I could get up onto the cart easily and constantly checked I was managing. So grateful. My only negative would be at the Motel. The ensuite was so small I had difficulty walking into it. The placement of the shower is wrong, it should be where the toilet is and the toilet should be where the shower is allowing more space to get in.

What an amazing day out and we were so looked after. lots of stops with great baking (my daughter has already made the slice), the lunch was so so fresh and tasty. Country views and tunnels galore, learning about the history and present times of the land and track we were travelling was so interesting. Our guides were absolutely brilliant, as were the support staff at check in! It is such a well run tourist business. Thank you very much to your team for helping to make mums weekend that extra bit special.
