Awesome experience

John is great- he provides good advice, allows for flexibility and has a great sense if humour. I definitely recommend this way of seeing the Yarra valley wineries, gineries and breweries.

Unprofessional Driver Ruined the Experience

We booked this hop-on, hop-off bus as a last-minute activity with friends. The website stated we could choose venues on the day, but the driver insisted we needed to book in advance, only informing us by berating us in front of the group. When I asked for recommendations, he dismissively said, “This isn’t an Uber service,” and refused to help. However, the venues had availability, making his response feel unnecessarily harsh. His unprofessionalism left us stressed the whole day, afraid of upsetting him further. The wineries were excellent, but the driver’s behavior significantly impacted our enjoyment.

From From Melbourne: Yarra Valley Hop-On-Hop-Off Bus

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. Our goal is to provide a flexible and enjoyable way to explore the wine regions, and we regret that there was any confusion on the day. To ensure guests have the best experience, we clearly state on our website—and in multiple reminder emails and text messages—that most venues require reservations. This is to help guests secure spots at their preferred stops, as many wineries have limited availability. We understand that this may not have been what you expected. Regarding your interaction with our driver, we want to clarify that our routes are designed to follow set loops, which means we aren’t able to make stops outside of those routes. We understand that you requested stops outside of the set loop on the day. Our service is different from a taxi or rideshare, and while our drivers are happy to assist with recommendations within the route, they aren’t able to change the itinerary on the spot. However, we do apologise if this was not communicated in a more helpful and professional manner, and we will be addressing this internally. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve both our communication and service. If you’d like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out to us at contact@hopit.com.au or give us a call on 03 8596 2659. Best regards, Jon & Sara

Yarra valley

This is a brilliantly organised day out. John the owner and our driver for the day was absolutely such a lovely guy with the perfect personality for informing everyone about the region and very chatty and interested in the group. Totally genuine and such good value for money, loved it!
