Alpine Valley Tour Testimonials

“Just a few lines to thank everyone at Alpine Valley Tours for the wonderful time our group had on the Country Pub Tour. We all agreed that it was fantastic value and we are already planning a trip to Bright later in the year and we shall definitely be taking another tour. Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Shane Dobson.” 3^rd January 2008

"To Joseph and Dani - Alpine Valley Tours I would just like to thank you both for a great day and your professional touch as I was debating for a while if I should go on the wine tour. I thought it would be just another wine tour; however true to your word this tour was like no other I had been on before. Tour leader Joseph gave very interesting commentary on Bright and surrounding areas. The personal touch Joseph gave was fantastic such as finding out what wines you enjoyed. I believe the numbers on the bus make it very easy to interact with others and make for a very enjoyable day. So once again thank you for such a great day. Kind Regards, Damen Shaw." 7th January 2008

The tour was definitely a highlight for the day; in fact the tour is what most of our friends and family are still talking about. The wineries that you took us to were fantastic and everyone of our guests were perfectly catered for!

Thank you again, James and Justine." 26th June 2008

"Joe thank you so much for our very entertaining wine tour last weekend. As you know Andrew and I love this beautiful region and now have converted some more people to the delights of Bright and surrounds. Your commentary and great sense of humour fitted so well with us and we will make good on the promise to return and fill that pleasure seeking missile you call a work bus. Cheers from Andrew & Gabrielle, Hayden & Nyree." 17th November 2008

"Dear Danielle - On behalf of all the members of the Murray Shire Council Indoor Social Club that joined you on tour at the weekend, I would like to pass on a very big THANK YOU for your wonderful, fantastic, brilliant, amazing and unreal fun tour you afforded to us on Saturday afternoon!! It was such a pleasure doing business with you in the lead up to the weekend, but the whole tour exceeded expectations upon completion. Those that participated in the tour are still raving about it and I'm sure that it will go down as one of the most memorable social outings that the Social Club has undertaken. Thank you to Danielle, for your patience, promptness and organisation of a fantastic itinerary and to Joe, for being the best tour operator in the world!!! There is no doubt that Joe's fun-loving personality and the way he made us all feel so much at home in your wonderful part of the world contributed to the fun atmosphere and such an enjoyable day that was had by all. Also, it was greatly appreciated that Joe took care of those of us who can't really remember much about the last pub!! You don't get that type of service just anywhere!! Once again a very big thank you for helping us celebrate the Christmas period in such great style and by allowing us to have so much fun doing so! I wish you and your family a safe and happy Christmas and all the very best in 2009! Kind Regards, Kerry Maher, Executive Assistant, Murray Shire Council." 9th December 2008

"To Danielle and Joe - I wanted to let you know we had a fantastic time on Saturday night. Everyone enjoyed themselves and even the "oldies" who thought they would want to go home early had a great time. I was so relieved. You provide a wonderful service and nothing was too much trouble. All the places we went to were great both in terms of the people and the pubs. Thanks Joe for making the night fun, and we would all recommend your tours if ever asked about something to do in the Beechworth region. Cheers Peta Lonergan." 24th March 2009

"Hi Danielle & Joe - Just wanted to say a very big thank you for the King Valley Winery Tour. We had a blast, and had some really fantastic wines. My parents especially loved it - I got some major brownie points for getting them the voucher for the tour! I see us coming back and doing the Alpine Valley Tour in the future (perhaps it'll be 2009's Christmas Present for the parents!). Thanks again. Rebecca & Andrew." Monday 1st June 2009

"Hi Danielle - Just wanted to say thanks to yourself and Joe for the weekend. All the boys had a cracker of a time and there is definitely talk of it happening again someday. I think Joe had a good time and hopefully he can have a chuckle to himself anytime he grabs his stubby holder we gave him. Thanks again, Adrian." Monday 14th September 2009

"Hi Dani & Jo - I would just like to thank you guys for showing Ryan and I such a great time a few weeks back on the winery tour, I've been trying to email for two weeks now but you know us city people are always so busy. I was a little scared to go on a tour and thought it would be a quiet day sipping on wine. But from the moment Joe picked us up we felt at ease with your warm personality. I can't believe how funny Joe is. He really did crack me up the whole day!! And not to forget the Miley Cyrus on the bus. I will never forget the day...seriously one of the best days I've experienced. I've spread the word to all my girlfriends and work colleagues and they are all keen to come back and experience what I did. Joe, you LEGEND!!! Hopefully we will see you soon for some more wine tasting and bus sing along. Mal" Friday 13th November 2009.
