Happy Group on our Daylesford-Goldfields Walk

A Group Tour To Suit Your Occasion

Create Your Own Group

While many guests enjoy meeting new people on tour, we know some of our guests prefer to arrange a regular walk with their group of friends or family. With a private group you can create exactly the group dynamic you want.

Tailor The Experience

We can also tailor private group experience to your particular needs. For example perhaps you want Milawa cheese, local seafood, Bruny Oysters, Wild Brumby Gin, or Clover Hill Sparkling. We can help tailor a unique experience.

Great Guides to Care for and Inform You Every Step of the Way

More than 10 in the group

While our regular tours are capped at 10 guests and 2 guides, with a little notice we can cater for much bigger groups when you arrange a private tour. We can even handle group up to 40 with some planning and time.

We have a bucket list attraction

Perhaps there is a local attraction that your group really want to see or participate in. For instance, a particular walk, a cultural experience or historical tour. With some planning we can build this on to your private itinerary.

Want something special with food

While our guests generally love the home-cooked style of guide created meals, it’s possible that you may want to have a ‘fancy’ meal in or around the region we walk. With some planning we can arrange that and of course the local community love it when we support their business.

With planning we can achieve most things …

Most of all, with a private group and some advance planning we can generally find a solution to most things. So, if the only thing holding you back is the details, then give us a call or send us an email. In general, we can find a solution to most reasonable requests that revolve around nature and walking!

FAQs

Must we choose an existing Park Trek itinerary?

Not necessarily. We can tailor the experience from start to finish and we can also arrange group accommodation pre and post tour, it just comes down to your budget and making sure we have enough time to get the details together.

What’s the minimum size for a private group?

Generally, the larger your group the better the value, so it’s best to aim for a minimum of 6-8 persons. We can of course do, and have done, smaller groups however our costs per person will be higher. This is because on any given tour our fixed costs are high as we always require 2 properly remunerated guides per 10 pax, and there’s accommodation we need to commit to ahead of time among other things. .

Are private groups better value?

For groups of 10 the 10th person generally travels free which is a great deal. Otherwise, the final costing will depend upon the complexity of the itinerary, the standard sought and other variables including guide associated costs.

How long will it take to price a private group?

If the private group plans to undertake one of our regular public or private group tours, then pricing can generally be provided within the week. If it’s a more complex proposal, we may need some extra time and we will let you know upfront.
