Testimonials
Like catching up with an old friend
Nicole made our Wine and History tour of Orange interesting. We had been on tours before that had made us feel not so special but with Nicole we had felt like we were catching up with an old friend. We highly recommend anyone joining a tour with Country Food Trails.

An enjoyable afternoon
Nicole was very friendly and managed at the last minute to organise a splendid guide, Sharon, for our private tour. Sharon’s passion and knowledge of local history kept us informed and entertained. A great way to learn more about the town and its lively history. Thanks for an enjoyable afternoon.
