We had an awesome day out with Doug, driving up onto the nevis range and up roads our rental car would have struggled, viewing historic gold mines, vineyards and honey mead tasting and the scenery and views were amazing. The tour was taylored to us and the knowledge we received from his gold mining experience was incredible. Thanks so much for a relaxing day seeing the sights.

Fabulous trip!

Doug’s fantastic knowledge of all things mining and local bought to life what we we saw in this trip. Such a rich mining history. Fantastic host and really enjoyed the day and would recommend to others.
