Sovereign Hill A Touch Of Gold Ballarat Tour

Great company to use for Sovereign Hill visit from pick up to return. The guide was excellent her knowledge made it worthwhile.

Alan our driver was excellent and our tour guide Deb at Sovereign Hill was the best.

It was a great day. Our driver Matt and guide Gary were amazing. Learnt a lot referring to the hold rush era in Australia. Thank you for such a wonderful time

I had an amazing time on the Sovereign Hill tour! The small group size made it really easy for everyone to cooperate and stay on schedule. Plus, our tour guide Gary was super friendly and helpful. I'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and stress-free experience!

Excellent day trip from Melbourne which exceeded our expectations. Stuart was a very knowledgeable guide and made sure we got the most out of our trip. Visiting Sovereign Hill is like stepping back in time and learning about both the gold mining industry and the harshness of daily life during that time for miners and their families. The visit was both entertaining and informative.

Fantastic experience, booked 2 tours with Explore Australia and would happily book another with them. Sovereign Hill is a must if travelling to Victoria, such a good insight in to this historic place. A massive shoutout to our tour guide Michael, who amazing from the start of the journey. He made sure our group were given priority and didn't let us miss out on anything, thanks Michael.

The trip was excellent and the tour guide was very knowledgeable

Our tour guide Lachy was so informative and a great driver, however the people on the tour with us weren’t the greatest people to travel with as many of them were very sick and also they rocked up to the bus after we were supposed to leave which is uncourteous to other travellers

Loved every bit of the trip. The whole town setup feels like you’ve traveled back in time. Our guide Gary, was very patient and an amazing host. So was Debbie, our kind lady from the 1800s who showed us the most of the town.

Great day out discovering the history of Ballarat at Sovereign Hill. Volunteer guides and period costumes help with authenticity. Guides are very knowledgeable and helpful. Margaret was a excellent tour guide.

The tour was great, photo opportunities everywhere. Street show was a little disappointing, hoping for a big parade. Overall experience is Excellent!

Awsome experience that takes you back to the 1800's!! Great staff who are very friendly and helpful!! Fantastic to recreate photos with family in period costumes!

Sovereign Hill was a very interesting place and we were well-guided by our volunteer from history, Deborah, as well as our cheerful and helpful driver and companion, Margaret.

Great tour. Lochie was an excellent driver & tour guide. Very enjoyable day out. Everything was arranged perfectly .

This is a great operator to tour with. They were very accommodating as we had a wheelchair person with us. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The trip to and from Sovereign Hill was smooth and the guide Margaret was excellent. She was friendly, knowledgeable and bubbly. We had a great time. Good one Margaret!

Absolutely brilliant trip. Peter, our driver, was very friendly and knowledgeable all day. He even informed us where to eat at the end of the trip in Melbourne telling us where to find the different cuisines. Elaine, our local guide at Sovereign Hill, was able to answer my many questions as my ancestors went to the Gold Rush. She was so informative and was able to give me further advice on where to find information regarding the Gold Rush era. Going down the mine was a real eye opener as to what life was like for the miners. Our visit to Ballarat town at the end was a relaxing end to our trip. A thoroughly enjoyable day and very highly recommended.

It was awesome and we enjoyed the whole day and it's worth going there.They maintain the proper timings for the whole program but cooperate also in case of need be

Tour guide, Debbi, in period dress excellent. Our driver/tour guide, Margaret, made the day extra special.

Brilliant day out to sovereign hill and a drive around Ballarat . Small group in a mini bus with our guide Gary who loved the day as much as us. The queue on arrival was enormous, but we jumped straight to the front with our guide. The underground mine tour was amazing and we learnt all about the history of the gold rush. We had an hour free time at lunch to explore. Must do activity for all ages if you are staying in Melbourne.

Well crafted experience with Brooke as tour guide Teemed with timely and detailed information about the tour highlights and Melbourne city in general

What a wonderful trip! Our lovely guide,Gary, could not have been more friendly and helpful in making sure our day was memorable. Sovereign Hill was worth the trip and the volunteers simply amazing and stayed in character. The underground tour was fascinating and the volunteer very knowledgeable! The trip was lovely with Gary giving information and a little drive through Ballarat also. Would highly recommend this trip and company!

Tour guide Darren was so nice to show us around and he actually remembers our name and will check on us if having a good time. the Guide fom Sovereign Hill Debbie was also so professional that she told us so many fun facts about the past gold mining experience. The whole tour was so interesting and educational with a unique experience in learning about gold mining in the past.
