点评:My husband and I spent two days touring the Mornington Peninsula with Arthur of Plunge Tours; we highly recommend him. He is communicative, well organized, has a ton of connections across a variety of sites and is very knowledgeable and engaging. His vehicle is roomy and in excellent condition.
From my initial outreach, Arthur was very responsive and communicative. He was extremely focused on ensuring that our days delivered experiences that were tailored to our interests.
Our first day was primarily spent visiting wineries. We started the day with delicious locally grown strawberries and a picnic on the water where we had the breathtaking locale to ourselves.
We then moved on to wine tasting. All the wineries Arthur selected for our visits had top notch wines and engaging hosts, and one of the stops included an extremely informative (and visually stunning) vineyard tour with the winery owner. Throughout the day Arthur shared his wealth of knowledge about the area and making wine. He also entertained us with some wonderful anecdotes. Our tour also included lunch at Sumer House which had delicious food and lovely view of the bay.
Our second day was focused on area exploration based on our interests. Arthur did a terrific job of providing a variety options for us to choose from. We had a tour of Pt Leo Estate sculpture garden, a visit to a glassblowing studio/artist collective, lunch at another sculpture garden with very tasty plates, an exploration of the beautiful grounds and gardens of Cruden Farm, and a final winery stop that we couldn't fit in yesterday.
It's clear that Arthur has done his homework on each place he brought us and he has developed deep relationships with proprietors. His guests definitely benefit from his expertise and network.
翻译:我和丈夫花了整整两天时间,跟随Plunge Tours的Arthur游览了莫宁顿半岛;我们强烈推荐他。他沟通能力强,组织安排井井有条,在各个领域都拥有广泛的人脉,而且知识渊博,热情好客。他的车宽敞舒适,车况极佳。
从我最初联系Arthur开始,他就非常积极地回应和沟通。他非常注重确保我们每天的行程都能满足我们的兴趣。
第一天我们主要参观了酒庄。我们以美味的当地草莓和在水边野餐开始这一天,享受着这令人叹为观止的美景。
之后,我们开始品尝葡萄酒。Arthur为我们挑选的酒庄都拥有顶级的葡萄酒和热情好客的主人,其中一站还包括由酒庄庄主亲自带领的精彩纷呈(而且风景美不胜收)的葡萄园之旅。在这一天里,Arthur与我们分享了他丰富的当地知识和葡萄酒酿造经验。他还给我们讲了一些精彩的轶事,让我们兴致盎然。我们的行程还包括在萨默尔庄园享用午餐,那里食物美味,还能欣赏到迷人的海湾景色。
第二天,我们根据自己的兴趣进行了周边地区的探索。亚瑟安排了丰富多样的行程供我们选择,做得非常棒。我们参观了利奥角庄园雕塑花园,拜访了一家玻璃吹制工作室/艺术家团体,在另一个雕塑花园享用了美味的午餐,探索了克鲁登农场美丽的庭院和花园,最后还去了一家昨天没来得及去的酒庄。
显然,亚瑟对每个他带我们去的地方都做了充分的准备,并且与业主建立了深厚的友谊。他的客人肯定能从他的专业知识和人脉中受益匪浅。
