Hidden Gems was a great experience from start to finish. Coffee to begin, chocolate to finish with a beautiful lunch and three brilliant boutique wineries in between. Dani was an outstanding guide who interacted very easily with our group of nine and with the experts who provided detailed information at each stop. The wine, coffee, chocolate and lunch were all delicious. We brought plenty home with us! Thanks for a great day.
Sounds like a very yummy day in Margaret River! I'm glad to read that you enjoyed what our local people produce and their deep knowledge. Thanks for sharing Chris!
We had an absolutely fantastic day with Dani! From the moment we were picked up, the experience was seamless and fun. He was very knowledgeable about the region's wines and history, but never made us feel rushed. The wineries selected were top-notch, offering a great variety. If you're looking for a professional, personable, and stress-free wine tour, look no further. Highly recommend!
Well Wei, there's a very important thing you mention here: in sharing our love and passion for such a special place that we call home, we do make a big point about selecting the very best of Margaret River! You highlighted top-notch wineries, but the same standard stands for every other producer, experience or attraction. I'm very glad you enjoyed it, and we hope to see you back soon! Best, Ziggy
We had a really enjoyable day with Dani. Good variety of activities, well paced, and the morning scones and coffee, and the lunch at the Olio Bello were excellent. Dani was a real gentleman and very patient with fellow passengers. We appreciated the company’s focus on supporting small local family businesses.
Small details that make a big difference, right? Dani's attention to everything happening each day, even when he quietly works behind the scenes, results in a perfect day for all. It's as simple as that, though there's a lot of focused work for us to keep such a high quality standard day after day. Thank you for sharing Julie!
One of the most wonderful experiences we had in WA. While reading about this experience when looking for a tour around Margaret River, the unique difference is what drew us to this tour. Ziggy was brilliant in organising this tour whilst being burdened with difficult personal news. We cannot thank him enough for his professional level of communication, combined with that personal touch which tells you that you have chosen the right tour. The forecast was for heavy rain and potentially a miserable day, but the slight changes in the schedule assured us that we were still going to enjoy the day. From a specialist "Koffee" house, local handmade chocolate delights, the most scrumptious Italian lunch at an olive farm, and wine tastings at 3 local boutique wineries, the tour also included viewing areas of the ocean and the beautiful Margaret River. Thanks to Gregg for his relaxed mannerism and safe driving, as well as his patience while we purchased way too much wine, coffee products, chocolate, olive oils, and farm delights. If you go to Margaret River with thoughts of enjoying a great, relaxed day, then you cannot look beyond All About Margaret River Tours.
Wow, what a big statement Mark! It means a lot to read genuine feedback like this. It reassures we're delivering and experience that fully aligns with our values and intentions. Fun, authentic, varied, and a true reflection of Margaret River and its people.
Mr. Zé Maria did a great service
Valeu! (Thank you!!)
A lovely day out, visiting some of Margaret Rivers many food and wine focused attractions. I loved that this tour celebrated local providors and smaller family owned wineries. Loved the pick up and drop off at our door, and really enjoyed lunch.
Great to read this Jenni! I'm happy to know you enjoyed the connection to our people - local producers and family businesses, and lunch. And pick-up/drop-off, of course we always do everything to ensure you have not only a fun and entertaining day, but also a most pleasant one.
An excellent day trip. We were picked up on time from our accommodation address and discovered we were a small group of five people. Breakfast with alpaca and emu feeding was fun and we headed off to the first of our three wineries shortly afterwards. Dani (our guide) gave a brief history of the area and a more detailed history of the wineries we visited. There were plenty of wines to sample. Lunch was very good at the Italian Olio Bello which makes a huge range of olive oils and other products. Two more wineries in the afternoon and then return to home. Throughout it all we established a good rapport with Dani and our fellow travellers. I would thoroughly recommend this trip and All About Margaret River for organising and running the day so efficiently.
So good to read this, thank you very much for sharing your experience with us!
Excellent leadership, very attentive, will take care of the traveler's listening ability, reduce speaking speed, first-class!
Communication is essential to learning and getting the best out of this experience. We have a very multilingual team, but naturally we can't speak every language. Yet, of course we go above and beyond to ensure everyone feels comfortable and can understand. Thank you very much for sharing, and I'm happy you enjoyed your tour with us!
Pick up on time, Dani was so knowledgeable and fun and gave so many interesting facts. The itinerary was varied and fun (even though we had rain). Small group made it so we could all get to know each other . ( we had 7). Time went by quickly and we saw so many local establishments. We never felt rushed. Italian lunch had huge portions and there were many wines to sample at the three wineries . There was also chocolate and olive oil tastings. Ziggy communicated promptly. When one wine merchant gave us the wrong bottle which was delivered to the van, Dani handled it quickly and the wine merchant said they would send the. correct one the next day. We would gladly do more tours with this company!
Even when weather plays against, Margaret River has a way to make it a positive addition to the day. And as I always say, it suits red wine ☺️. Hope to see you on another tour some time soon Jane!
Thanks Dani for a fabulous day and making everything so wonderful. Can't recommend this tour enough.
Yes Kathleen, we all agree, Dani is the best!! Fantastic ambassador of Margaret River
