4 Day Tour: Albany, Margaret River, Valley of the Giants TreeTop Walk from Perth

Really enjoyed the tour. The driver was good. We stopped at nice accommodation for the three nights. Some of the experiences were memorable - like the cruise on Nornalup Inlet with Gary and the Mammoth Cave. Only minor criticism- final day spent in too many chocolate shops and wineries. More time at Busselton Jetty would have been preferred. Otherwise a very good tour.

We have just completed this tour and have thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The tour bus was spacious and comfortable. Our Tour Captain Peter was attentive, knowledgeable and happy to arrange what ever we needed. All of the accommodation has been better than we expected and very comfortable. The meals have been simple but tasty. As for the sights it's hard to pick a favourite but the lunch cruise at Walpole with Gary was an absolute highlight.

A very worthwhile tour. Lots of interesting places visited. Bus was comfortable, driver was very experienced and passed on a lot of information along the way -- a very nice guy. First night in Albany was at a pretty basic motel; room was OK, food was pretty cafeteria. The other two nights' accommodations were a LOT better; the last night in Busselton was excellent and the food was super. A particular highlight was the Walpole Inlet cruise; the chap who operates the cruise, Gary Muir, is and absolute legend. Who knew that Walpole had such an interesting history and connections to famous historical people? Another highlight was the Treetop Walk in the Valley of the Giants, and, interestingly enough, Gary Muir was part of designing and building that, as well. This tour is recommendable for these two highlights alone, but, there's lots more to enjoy. The only negative associated with the tour was actually booking it. The Viator website displayed a price $100 dollars less than we were charged. I emailed Viator about it and was advised that only some dates were eligible for that price. I looked at their site again, and the lower price still displayed, including on the calendar date I wanted to book. We wanted to book the tour, so, had to pay the extra $200. To make matters worse, when Viator sent me emails including links to print our tickets for the tour, the tickets would not print out; the web page just looped around to the same point and never worked. I called Viator in Sydney, but was simply told that it could be sorted out with the bus driver in Perth. In the end, it worked out, but, this experience taught me that I won't book any future tours with Viator.

As a way of experiencing the best of Australia's south west corner, the 4 day tour could hardly be bettered. We saw all the featured sights and some less well known but beautiful ones. Our driver was first rate, experienced and very personable accommodation and meals were very good. I'd strongly recommend the 4 day tour over shorter alternatives if your plans allow it.

This was our first experience of SW Australia. Mixture of work and pleasure we found we had 4 days to explore the more southern reaches. Whilst we had down a little internet exploration and came across some of the 'things to see and do' we found that the 4 day tour took in most of what we wanted. Sit back and relax. Comfortable coach - with leg room! I don't think we would have had such a relaxing time if we had hired a car. Keith, our driver was an excellent host. The beauty was that with such a packed itinerary we went from place to place - with time to enjoy. We sampled the various hotels which I have to say were very goo. Food was well recommended by Keith. The history of the South West is fascinating but the earlier settlers would certainly have had a hard time. The trip was only part of the experience - getting to know fellow travellers added flavour to the whole experience of our first ever 'bus holiday' - I hope we will have the chance to come back having had an insight of what there is to see and do - a lot.

A great tour, the river cruise visit at Walpole was a standout and Gary will not be easily forgotten. A real character and good entertainment despite the rain. Coach was comfortable and accommodation was good, specially the Abbey Beach resort. Food was excellent throughout the tour. Plenty of wine tasted and chocolate eaten. Tour guide/driver was outstanding.

Great tour, great accomodation, great food, what more can you ask for? The nights in Karri valley and Busselton were amazing. Grant our guide was fantastic. Highly recommended. Thanks also to Mr Muir in Walpole, most passionate guide ever!!!!!!!

Great trip, excellent bus driver who was very informative. Great hotels.
