Daylesford / Macedon Private Day Tours
Daylesford is one of those places people fall in love with the moment they arrive. Tucked into Victoria’s spa country, it’s known for its beautiful landscapes, creative spirit, relaxed pace, and some of the best regional food in Australia. Our private Daylesford tours from Melbourne are designed to let you slow down, explore, and truly enjoy the region without rushing. We offer two carefully curated experiences to suit how you like to travel.
The Signature Tour is a relaxed and indulgent day out, featuring iconic sights, time to explore the town, and a memorable three-course lunch by the lake. The Premium Tour takes things a step further, with extra time, added refinement, and a four-course fine-dining experience at the renowned Lake House. Both tours are private, unhurried, and all about enjoying Daylesford at its best.
