We had such an amazing experience with Dancing Kangaroo Tours for our winery day! From start to finish, the whole day was so easy, and so much fun.
The company was fantastic to communicate with in the lead-up to the day — always helpful, responsive and made organising everything completely stress-free.
A huge shoutout to our host/ driver, Sean, who was AWESOME! He was prompt, friendly, fun and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the day.
I couldn’t recommend Dancing Kangaroo Tours highly enough. If you’re planning a winery day with a group, definitely book with them — we had the best time and would absolutely use them again! 🍷🥂🚌💃
Thank you Sean & Dancing Kangaroo Tours for such a brilliant day!
Loved the experience!
I don’t normally bother writing reviews, so this was really worth doing!!!

Had a great time with Sean as my guide. He gave us really thoughtful facts around the region and really checked in with all of us as individuals. This also led to a lovely mini concert on the way back to the CBD at the end of the day.
The people that they chose to highlight in this tour were definitely passionate about their work. And Sean was clear about the allocation of time at each stop to make sure that we were on time for our next location. As a female solo traveler, I felt safe and well cared for due to Sean and my lovely fellow travellors. Would highly recommend for you to book with Kangaroo Tours.
Mike as professional, interactive, and friendly guide. Throughout the tour he explained in details with nice choice of music through the drive to the destination. During the tour he remained interactive by checking everyone's need and ensure all participants well acknowledged the itenerary and gather time. There's no delay throughout the journey. The group size is just nice, not overcrowded. Overall Mike did an excellent job!
The transport vehicle with good facilities and sufficient space as well. Really recommended to try out this tour. Suitable to both solo / couple
We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Dancing Kangaroos and would definitely recommend. Our favourite winery was Soumah and we really enjoyed the tastings and enjoying the scenery there. The weather was stunning which helped!
