We highly recommend this 3 day tour. A small group tour which,for us, was led by Neil Mcloud. He was an entertaining and knowledgeable and considerate host; clearly well liked and respected by the owners of the various places we visited, which we felt gave the tour an added something special. He went out of his way to meet requests - for example, I hadn’t seen any kangaroos in the wild and at the end of one day, he took us out to find some, and we did! As a keen photographer he made sure I got the time to take photos in the various places we visited His passion for what he does and his love of the region shines through.Absolutely fantastic experience. My Husband and I had the best time. We met some great people on the tour. Lots of laughs, great food and the experience was worth every cent. Our Host Neil was amazing with his knowledge of the area.

A fabulous 3 days. A small group tour in a well equipped small bus. The days were fun and busy with lots of experiences. We visited many places in the Margaret River Region. The local knowledge of both Neil McLeod and Rusty really made the trip special. I really felt I had a good understanding of the history and geography of the area. All the meals were excellent with a range of meal choices. We visited some carefully selected excellent cafes and restaurants. The accommodation was excellent too. We had varied experience such as our visit Mammoth Cave. Rusty had been a guide there so, of course his tour of the caves was terrific. Rusty really is an asset to the company. We tasted wine, coffee, honey, chocolate... what a treat. We visited beautiful towns, bays and beaches. We even visited Neil's farm to see his horses and guarantee we saw kangaroos. Neil is a master storytelling and shared with us the varied and very 'Australia ' experiences he has had in Western Australia. He explained the history of the region and recommended books to us to extend our knowledge. A wonderful trip. I learnt so much and met so many locals that l felt like a part of the community.What a delightful trip! Everything was spot on. The drivers (Neil and Rusty) were friendly and informative. Nothing was too much and they even thought of things before we thought of them ourselves. The food was delicious and plenty everywhere we went. Accommodation was excellent. I didn’t kno...
What a delightful trip! Everything was spot on. The drivers (Neil and Rusty) were friendly and informative. Nothing was too much and they even thought of things before we thought of them ourselves. The food was delicious and plenty everywhere we went. Accommodation was excellent. I didn’t know anyone on this trip prior but they were a pleasure to travel with. Would have no hesitation recommending this trip. Thanks for the memories!!Neil McLeod was our driver and tour conductor.

Neil McLeod was our driver and tour conductor. There were 15 of us on tour.What a wonderful tour guide and raconteur, with a host of fascinating stories. As well as that he was very knowledgable about the Margaret River and it's history.We went to a few cellar doors for wine tasting, stayed at a roomy apartment and enjoyed dinner with a great jazz band.Neil took us to his farm and we got to feed carrots to his 3 horses. His wife prepared little snack packs of cheese & crackers in case the cellar doors didn't provide them. He showed us a Greek Church that had the building organised by an Australian veteran to show thanks for the Greeks that helped save the lives of many allied soldiers during the WW2 in Crete. A bus tour we all agreed was excellent.Run by a third and fourth generation district family. They know everything and everybody in the region. Excellent tour, with dining and accommodation that is first class. If you want to see the 'real' Margaret River, these are the people to show you.
