Laila was such an excellent guide. She made this a truly enjoyable experience.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so pleased to hear that you have the experience truly enjoyable.
Confirmation number: 1384045393 Booking reference number: 1766678197 This was very disappointing as the tour did not follow the inclusions stated when making the booking - at a cost of AUD$229. The tour did not visit either Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse or the The Caves, which were to be a highlight of the tour for me. Instead our Guide, David Wyn took us tramping through the bush - very disappointing !
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations and understand your disappointment regarding the destinations visited. After reviewing your booking, we found that there was an inconsistency between the itinerary displayed on the booking platform and the tour that was ultimately operated. Our Margaret River Day Tour was updated several years ago, with Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse and the caves removed due to the significant additional driving distance involved and our desire to provide a safer, more comfortable, and higher-quality day tour experience. More recently, we enhanced the itinerary by adding the spectacular Wilyabrup Sea Cliffs, one of the most scenic sections of the Cape to Cape Track. Importantly, prior to the tour departure, we contacted all booked guests, including yourself, to advise of the updated itinerary. In our communication, we outlined the revised touring plan and invited feedback. We also advised that if the updated itinerary did not meet your expectations, you were welcome to cancel your booking free of charge and select an alternative tour. Unfortunately, your booking was made through TripAdvisor, which is linked to a Viator listing. Following our investigation, it appears that an outdated itinerary remained visible on the platform due to a synchronization issue, resulting in a discrepancy between the itinerary displayed at the time of booking and the tour being operated. We sincerely apologize for this confusion. At Tour2Holiday, we are committed to delivering the experiences that we advertise and to communicating any itinerary changes as early as possible. While we believe we followed the updated itinerary that had been communicated prior to departure, we fully understand that the outdated information displayed on the booking platform may have contributed to your disappointment. We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention. We are currently reviewing all TripAdvisor and related platform listings to ensure that the information displayed accurately reflects the tours we operate and to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future. Thank you again for your feedback. We value all guest comments and will continue working to improve both our products and our communication processes.
One star because I couldn’t give less. Worst trip ever. This was a “stop, take photo’s, and back in the bus” tour. You didnt get a chance to enjoy anything. There was no focus at all as every stop was around 20 min. The lunch was supposed to be included, but we had to pay for our lunch ourselves. Then I lost my glasses on the beach and the tourguide found them and he didnt bother to ask whether it belonged to someone from the group. When I found out in the bus that I lost them, he told me to keep looking instead of being transparent and telling me that he found them on the beach and left them there. I had to hear it from a lady who was in the same tour. When confronting him he said that he didn’t want to upset me, which I dont believe. Then he tried to scam me and yelled at me that I should pay 70$ NOW in cash so he could send one of his chinese friends to pick it up. And he kept yelling even when I told him that I will arrange it myself. He wouldnt admit that he should have asked the group whether the glasses belonged to anybody. Then later on he kept harassing me via whatsapp saying “how much he wanted to help” and trying to lecture me about how much I should respect him (he thinks he is above others). In the end I called the lovely people from the holiday park and they arranged everything for me with no costs other than the label which was around 10$. This man is a total scam. I am happy nothing like this happened before to anyone on this tour. But this guy is not trustworthy thinks he is above all the people and doesnt bother to yell at you. This is how one person can turn a day that was supposed to be fun an relaxt, into you second guessing why you stepped on that plane in the first place.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you felt dissatisfied; however, we must respectfully clarify several points, as your review does not accurately reflect what occurred on the day. Firstly, this tour is designed as a full-day sightseeing itinerary covering multiple locations, and stop durations are planned accordingly. This format is clearly outlined in the product description. Concerning the sunglasses, we acknowledge that the handling of the found item could have been improved. At the time, the item was not identified as belonging to anyone in the group and was left in a visible location. Once you raised the issue, our guide, David, made genuine and proactive efforts to assist, including contacting venues, exploring retrieval options, and recommending that you contact the nearby holiday park. We would also like to clarify that the $70 mentioned was not requested by David, but was a third party’s request to cover travel costs (approximately 100km return). Importantly, David clearly communicated that the priority was to locate the sunglasses first and that there was no need to worry about payment, and this option was entirely voluntary. On the following day, David proactively followed up by contacting the holiday park and was informed that you had already contacted them and the sunglasses had been successfully located. This confirms that the assistance and advice provided were effective. We take allegations of unsafe driving, aggression, and harassment very seriously. Based on our internal review and feedback from other guests, we do not find evidence supporting these claims. Any follow-up communication was solely related to assisting with your lost property. We regret that this situation affected your experience, but we must respectfully disagree with the characterization of events. We remain committed to improving our service and ensuring all guests have a positive experience. Please kindly read your confirmation and it says lunch is not included.
We missed the Bunbury farmers market because other travellers were late. We were not welcomed at the winery. There were too many short stops and lunch should have been included.
Dear Ahmer, Please accept my sincere apologies for missing the stop at Bunbury Farmers Market during the tour. On the day, I waited for a late-arriving guest and did not want anyone to miss the trip. Unfortunately, this caused a delay to our schedule, and as a result we did not have sufficient time to stop at Bunbury Farmers Market for breakfast and a rest break. Instead, we stopped at a nearby service station. Regarding lunch, lunch is not included in this tour product and this arrangement has been consistent for several years for all guests. If the description you saw indicated otherwise, it may be due to inconsistent information from the booking platform. I would greatly appreciate it if you could let me know where the booking was made so that we can review and update the description accordingly. Thank you very much for travelling with us. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you again in the future. Kind regards,
A great experience that I would recommend. My whole family enjoyed it. The stops were nicely spaced to make the trip to Margaret River enjoyable. Of course, the experience depends a lot on the host, and David is excellent. He is enthusiastic and knowledgeable and personable.
Thank you very much for your kind review and I enjoyed the day with everyone for the day.
Amazing tour with David. My parents and I enjoy a lot the beautiful trip to Margaret River. David went up and beyond. Thank you 🙏
Thank you very much for your kind feedback and so pleased to travel with everybody.
The day was full of different impressions: The forest walk, the wine tasting (great), Surfer’s Point (my highlight) Busselton Jetty. Only the chocolate factory I found unnecessary, but this was also more of a pee break. With us, however, the trip took 13.5 hours, you have to know that (we had a road closure in between due to accident and had to drive a detour).
Thank you very much for your support during this tour.
It is a full on tour, tour guide David put up a lot of efforts to make sure the itinerary carried out smoothly without trouble, well appreciated his efforts and hours of driving throughout the safe and fulfilling journey. Bcos we have a big group of 20 people and David managed to stick on the itinerary with his excellent time management. Weather was terrific for a full day outdoor tour🥹
Thank you very much Angela and it is my great pleasure to travel the big group and had a wonder day for myself as well. The weather is getting better, and sunny summer is coming and WA will be more relaxing and enjoyable with the white sand beaches.
We had a wonderful tour today, and it’s all thanks to our guide, David. Although the trip was quite hectic—especially since I was traveling with my 3‑year‑old—David went above and beyond to make the experience as comfortable as possible. He is an excellent driver, with smooth handling and no sudden stops, which made the journey stress‑free. David was incredibly supportive, especially when my child was struggling with the car seat. Thanks to his quick thinking and planning, everything worked out perfectly. His patience and care truly stood out, and I’m grateful for the effort he put into making the tour enjoyable for us. If you have the any other tours that is led by David please let me know. I would like to book that tour. Overall the experience was very good.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback and it is my pleasure to travel your family of 5 with your little friend. He was so amazing without even sleep during the long day and sounds like he enjoys the trip haha. All the best to your family.
A long day but well worth the journey down to the south coast region from Perth. We stopped at Bunbury Farmers Market, Busselton pier for the train ride, Boranup Karri forest short walk, great burgers for lunch at Prevally with views of the Margaret River surf break, wine tasting at Voyager Estate nearby, choccy tasting at Cowaramup. Plenty of time for photos at the beautiful town & beach stops. The tour guide is very passionate about the region & loves sharing it with the group. He stopped so we could see wild emus, kangaroos & was happy to answer questions. A great day's travel!
Thanks for your kind feedback and happy to travel together.
