I had a wonderful day tour on the Lilydale to Warburton rail trail. The bus driver and tour guide ( extremely funny and engaging) were amazingly friendly and supportive. The scenery was superb, rolling lush green pastures, into beautiful bush landscapes. Equally spoiling was our wonderful lunch Included in the tour... at ‘The Carriage Cafe ‘. Topping off this wonderful tour we visited the ‘ Five Oaks ‘Vineyard and ‘Elmswood’ and purchased some tantalising wines. I give this tour a definite thumbs up and am busting to book my next tour with Tour Devines
