Ladies Day Out Minibus Spa & High Tea or Winery Tours

Day out with the ladies. Sometimes we all need to get together with our girls with no men allowed. Let them go play golf, or go fishing, and we will go do something we all love. How does a half a day spent getting pampered at a spa with massage and facial and then enjoying high tea?

Take it to the next level and schedule a full day tour to the Blue Mountains to visit a spa for massage, and facial in a serene setting away from the city, then choose between visiting a winery for a wine tasting and lunch or make a stop for high tea and lunch. We have developed several options for half day and full day mini bus tours for groups, however we welcome you to customize your tour with your preferred, spa, winery, or tea house.

½ day minibus tours in the CBD includes pick up, drop off a stop at a spa for massage, and High Tea.

The ½ day Minibus Spa & High Tea Package

Option 1 Sydney CBD Spa & High Tea Minibus Tour

Begin your ladies day with your private minibus driver picking you and the girls up from your Sydney residence or hotel. Destination one is the Signature Day Spa Wellness Centre. We recommend the Signature because they have a spectacular Social package designed for a ladies day out that includes a massage and facial over a two hour period. Spa parties are available for afternoon and evening bookings. Groups of 5 – 20 are invited to partake in the social massage party. Let us know how many in your party and we will arrange the right size minibus.

After you have thoroughly pampered yourself at the spa it’s time to enjoy traditional High Tea in an ultra modern setting. The Blue Sydney has a fabulous Sparkling High Tea, that comes with savoury goodies, delectable sweets, soft scones, and home made jam with fresh cream, and of course your choice of coffee or tea. In addition to your three tiered tray of goodness and your warm beverage you can also delight in a flute of NV Villeroy Brut Blanc de Blanc.

Option 2 Sydney CBD Spa & Wickedly Sweet Chocolate Afternoon Tea Mini Bus Tour

The Spa remains the same in option 2 however, the destination for High Tea takes a devilish twist. For the chocoholic in all of us Shangri-la is now offering Wickedly Sweet Chocolate Afternoon Tea.
