Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Andrew picked us up promptly from our accommodation.And presented us with a complimentary bottle of wine.He had a lot of knowledge of the region as we travelled to the wineries. We had a beautiful platter of food and a glass of wine at Blue Pyrenees Estate. We visited lots of wineries in the region and had a wonderful time.

Sent the day with Andrew on a wine tour in the Pyrenees Wine region.
Had a great time visiting several quaint little wineries doing some tasting. Had a magnificent lunch at the Blue Pyrenees Estate.
Bought some great wines, that we will enjoy in the future while casting our memory back to this great tour.

Andrew has a great knowledge of the area and all the activities available

We just completed a wonderful Grampians day tour with Andrew. Absolutely lovely gent, so very knowledgeable about all the geology, geography, plants and animals we came across during our half day hike then remainder of day 4x4 tour through the region. We have been coming the Grampians for 18 years but today learnt so many new things about this environment. We highly recommend this tour

Recently we did a Pyrenees Wine Tour with Andrew. Andrew was promptly on time for pick up from our accommodation and we had the best day touring with him. HIs knowledge of the wine region was excellent and the 5 wineries we went to were the smaller boutique ones which we find are always the best. The wines were superb and the lunch at Blue Pyrenees was delicious. Do yourself a favour and book a tour with this company, you won't be disappointed.

My husband and I enjoyed a beautifully curated day tour of the southern Grampians. andrew was a superb guide, delivering an incredible amount of interesting, impressive and relevant information in a relaxed, easy to understand style.
Our morning hike was just right, learning about local geology whilst admiring beautiful views and catching a glimpse local wildlife. Our afternoon 4WD adventure delivered surprise after surprise - stunning views from unexpected places, gorgeous waterholes and enjoying local BirdLife.
Andrew is an exceptional guide - we were fortunate to enjoy his company for our Grampians Day Out!

We recently had Andrew take us on the Pyrenees Wine Tour. As a host, Andrew was punctual, informative, flexible with where we wanted to go and accommodating to every need.

Andrew took us to wineries with beautiful scenery and great atmosphere, while lunch at Blue Pyrenees Estate was delicious and beyond our expectations. We were quite the lovely bunch and Andrew participated in our banter.

I highly recommend Golden Nugget Discovery Tours for a fun day out and would absolutely book again!

I had girlfriends coming from all over Victoria - Andrew from Golden Nugget Discovery tours tailored our tour to meet the diversity of our group. He was early for our pick up, got us to our first winery for our tasting on time. Was flexible when we stayed a little longer before heading off to our second winery for lunch. Andrew was very patient and courteous, he loaded our wine into the back of the bus, had to put up with 7 rowdy women and a friend left her phone at a previous winery and went back for it with a No Problem Attitude. My friends had never been to the Pyrenees Wineries before and were very impressed with the whole day. It was pleasurable for all of us knowing you didn’t have drive. A very enjoyable experience with Golden Nugget Discovery Tours - I will definitely be using them again - excellent service🌟

Hi Lynda, I am glad that you and your friends had an excellent day in the Pyrenees Wineries. I wouldn't have said that you girls were rowdy, more like enjoying your time together. If you ever needed a dedicated driver to take you and your friends around the wineries again, give me a call. And Yes, the Pyrenees Wineries are a stand out amongst Victorian and Interstate wineries. Cheers Andrew

Hello Julie, I am happy that you, and your family enjoyed the day in the Pyrenees Wine region. I enjoyed chatting with yourself and your Mum & Dad, though at times the Irish accent through a couple of times. You know that you have just scratched the surface, so yourself and your husband will have to return to see the other wineries in the region. kind regards Andrew
