It’s a very long day but the tour company takes care of everything and does all the driving so how good is that? A very comfortable coach. You get taken to the most interesting places in the area and given reasonable time to enjoy them. Both members of the team were good. What was interesting was how insignificant the actual Margaret River is!

McLeod Tours are very knowledgeable and experienced, their organisation and choice of places to visit and eat was first class. The only gripe was that the otherwise excellent accommodation was out of town, and other than the resort bar and limited choice restaurant there was nowhere to go in the evening.

It was a fulfilling tour where you can see all of these in one day, including hotel pickup and drop-off, and the driver's kind and courteous service. Satisfied. If there is a point to be improved, it is cold inside the bus, so I would like the air conditioning to be properly controlled.

Our coach driver cum tour guide Neil, was superb. His driving skills and commentary were excellent. We enjoyed the trip. Thanks.

A great bus trip and a very informative driver.. Stops Lovely lunch
