I can’t recommend these guys enough!!I booked in a brewery tour with smooth hoperator through Deb and can’t thank her enough for her efforts to customise and lock in all the breweries we wanted to visit ! She done all the hard work once we had mentioned where we would like to go and put it all together from there! I really wanted to book through someone who was flexible with picking us up and dropping us off and also where when and what we wanted to do rather then a set criteria of times and places you could go which most others seemed to offer. The whole experience organising through Deb was made so easy she was super quick getting back to me with details , prices etc leading up , during and after tour. I couldn’t be happier with how the whole experience went !!Do yourself a favour if your thinking about booking a brewery tour then let these guys take care of you! You won’t regret it!! Thanks so much again to Smooth Hoperator for an awesome very memorable hassle free trip!! Will 100% be booking through you guys again if I’m organising attending another brewery tour up that way !

The planning was so easy and we were so well looked after. They reply quickly to emails and phone calls. All 21 people on our tour absolutely loved every bit of the trip! They added a random lookout stop for us at the last minute to get a perfect photo, and even popped out a big speaker so we could dance at the lookout. They let us stay longer at our favorite spot and did multiple drop off spots so everyone got home safely and easily. I will absolutely be using them again. Excellent value for money and so much fun. read less

Debbie & Adam are engaging hosts that know a lot about the local area and the local BEER! I did a day tour exploring the local breweries emerging around the Gold Coast and was surprised there are so many.Also, I have to mention the Karaoke. You’ll swear you won’t sing in the van but I promise...it will happen!It was such a great day out trying some tasty brews, meeting new people and supporting a small local business. I’ll definitely be talking my friends into booking a day out at the breweries the next time we book a week in Byron or Goldie. read less

Really well organised, great price, and both Deb and Adam went above and beyond in order to make it a great day for us all - including picking up some of our mates from the airport who arrived late. It's not too often you get more than what you paid for these days but these guys were exactly that.Everyone commented on how great the tour was and I'll definitely be looking to book with them again in the future. Cheers! read less

The drive through the lush green valley's with Mt Warning as the backdrop makes it a picture perfect and relaxing scenic tour. Deb & Adam were fantastic hosts delivering a wealth of knowledge of the local area while making everyone feel very welcome and comfortable.

We had various levels of alcohol knowledge, myself 21 and up to my mother 50. They catered to our whole crew. We felt really comfortable trying brand new things! I felt really safe with the driving as Adam hadn't drunk anything and he never went over the speed limit. If you are someone who is super interested in how various drinks are made you will be really satisfied. If you are a little more relaxed and just into trying new stuff, they are great at reading that and helping you through each thing you are trying. We really had an amazing time and i will be coming back in a few short weeks with my partner as well just because I loved it so much!All the places we went to had delicious tasting boards. If you are not much into alcohol I am very sure you will find something you love at each place.Truth be told these guys really love the area they are taking you around and through the tour, you will love it as well.Thanks guys!!! read less
