Before you book

Booking with confidence

The things people want settled before they put a card in. All out in the open, so you do not have to go looking.

Do I pay a deposit now, or the whole thing?

Checkout takes full payment for your seats there and then, and there is nothing to pay the host on the day.

What happens straight after I pay?

Your seats are held immediately and the confirmation email arrives with them. If it has not turned up in a few minutes, check the junk folder then call us.

Can I change the date, and what does cancelling cost?

Moving your date is free if you ask more than 72 hours before your tour, subject to availability. If you need to cancel more than three business days out, we refund 95% of what you paid (a 5% cancellation fee applies). Closer to the day, higher cancellation fees apply, and every detail is in our booking terms. Ring us rather than rebooking yourself and we will sort it out for you.

Is the price per person or for the booking?

Per person. The figure on each card is one adult seat, so a couple pays it twice.

Are there child rates?

On the Amazing tour, which is the family friendly day. The other two are adults only, and the calendar shows a child rate only where it applies. Tell us their ages and we will point you at the right day.

Where do we meet, and what time?

Pickup for the Yarra Valley days is in Southbank at the Arts Centre Melbourne Spire, and your exact time is in the confirmation email. Aim to be there a few minutes early, since the departure times on the cards are when we leave.

What if the weather is bad?

Tours run in most weather, since most of the day is indoors at venues or in the vehicle. If a stop would be unpleasant the host reorders the day on the morning.

Still not sure? Ask before you pay.

Call 0452 560 488 or message us on WhatsApp. It is the family answering, not a call centre.
