A tasty day out A great introduction to Denmark and its delights. We enjoyed Joy’s commentary and local knowledge as we sat back and relaxed.

Fantastic tour Great day out. Our guide was Tim and he had lots of information. Scenery was gorgeous and we saw so much of the area. We even got a quick visit to the War Memorial as an extra surprise. Really enjoyed the beauty of The Gap and Natural Bridge. Beautiful part of the world.

Fantastic day tasting our way around the area Wineries, charcuterie, chocolates etc. were all delicious and unique to the area. Was a lovely break for me on a driving holiday to have someone else take the wheel. Susan was very knowledgeable about the area and super helpful in considering my husband's limited mobility and parked as close as possible to the best entry points, as well as assisting him on/off the very comfy passenger van. Our purchases were safely stored for us, including an Esky for our cheeses.

Great Tour Company My friend and I were treated with care and respect. Our tour guides, Tim and Michelle were very informative and helpful. They were pleasant and respectful. We felt safe as 2 women on holiday in a foreign city. The vehicles used were clean and reliable. The day was highlighted with great conversations and laughter. The 2 tours we did were the Granite skywalk and on a separate day, Tasting delicious Denmark. I cannot recommend Busy Blue Bus highly enough. Very good value for money and excellent customer service. Thank you for making our holiday very enjoyable.

Unbelievable experience!! There’s not more to say than this is an unbelievable experience!!

We were picked up and taken early and had a very enjoyable and knowledgable journey to the bay.

It started as a slightly grey and quiet day but that changed quickly. The sun came out and so did the whales.

They tour guides were amazing and knew all the whales names ages and spotted them really early (which i know is unpredictable) and followed them all day with multiple sighting of single males, groups and babies! (I’m not
good at catching them on camera though)

I would recommend this to anyone. Although if you are prone to sickness a warning to get tablets - we luckily were ok but it nearly was a very expensive sleep for my husband - and we were lucky it was a calmer day (which is still pretty choppy)

Then picked up and dropped home - thank you so much for a great experience

Tour was cancelled ONE HOUR before it was scheduled to start & they didn't let me know I’m really disappointed and quite unimpressed with how the cancellation of the tour was handled. The tour was cancelled ONE HOUR before it was scheduled to start because the minimum number of people was not met.

It seems I was called an hour before the tour was supposed to start, but no message was left, so I didn’t think it required an urgent callback when I missed it. Moreover, there was no follow-up email or text to inform me that the tour had been cancelled, so I went to the meeting place as expected and waited around 15 minutes before I realised that no guide was showing up.

I then received an email over an hour after the tour was scheduled to start saying that the tour had been cancelled and my ticket refunded [I've attached a screenshot].

Cancelling a tour ONE HOUR before it is scheduled to start and then not informing me is really appalling customer service.

My friend and I spent two days with Tim and Michelle as our tour guides in Albany. They were very informative, friendly and wonderful. We really enjoyed our tours with them and learnt a lot about Albany. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Albany❤️.

Booked and went on the ‘Gap and Natural Wonders Tour’ yesterday and both myself and my husband really enjoyed the experience. We were picked up at our Hotel by Susan in a very comfortable vehicle and she went above and beyond to ensure that we enjoyed our morning tour. She was very knowledgeable about all of the locations we visited and was only too happy to answer all of our questions. We also enjoyed a lovely complimentary Devonshire Tea at the Whaling Station Cafe. All in all a very enjoyable morning and would definitely recommend it to friends.

We did a whaling history tour which included the whaling station. Susan our tour giude was awesome. She was very informative and really new her stuff about local history, etc. Communications was great with a phone call while we were in Perth as we were on cruise ship, explaing where we would meet at the cruise terminal in Albany. My wife and I could not fault the experience, thank you very much Susan.

We had booked a tour with Albany Tours to visit some wineries in Mount Baker region. We were arriving via a cruise ship.

We were met at the port by a representative who directed us to a meeting point and that we would find Michele our guide.

We have done many tours around the world. This was by far the best tour ever. Michele was very informative and new a lot about the wineries were to visit. She had everything well organized. She kept us on schedule because we had to catch our ship.

If you are ever in Albany, I would highly recommend Albany Tours for a wine tour and request Michele as your guide and driver. Excellent tour.

Enlightening Experience We thoroughly enjoyed the two hour Albany City Tour with Susan. From the start we were so impressed with Susan’s knowledge and enthusiasm. Susan helped us engage with the history and modern day Art on the streets of Albany. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough .

Wine tasting from Albany A fantastic day! Small group. Visited 4 wineries for tastings - all quite different. A good introduction to the region. Susan our guide was very knowledgeable about the region, the wineries and the wines. Also included a lovely shared platter lunch. Highly recommended.

A great intro to Albany and its sights Had a great half day tour of the Gap and sights around Albany. Small group. Tim, our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining - a story for all occasions and great fun. Highly recommended.

Such a relaxing way to see ART I took this tour with my sister to see art of the Great Southern Art Trail. We both found it such a relaxing way to spend the day taking in art at a number of galleries and indulging in a splendid lunch at Ducketts Mill. The artists at each venue welcomed us on arrival and explained their processes and works to us and in a couple of places, took us out back to see their workshops. Our tour guide, Tim, was great and we enjoyed some interesting conversations with him along the way. I'm a local in the region, and while I could have driven my car to the venues, the special treatment the artists provided, together with the relaxation of being chauffeured around and not be concerned with directions or timing made this tour so worthwhile. I will definitely do this tour again.

Our Albany Highlights and History tour was an enjoyable few hours with guide Phillip. It was informative and he shared his local knowledge.

Awesome. This is such an awesome natural wonder. The view is amazing and there are safety barriers in place. Really worth a drive.

Did the Gap and Natural Wonders tour. Sue is very knowledgeable and took us to some amazing places
Worth doing. Thank you.

The Gap and Coastal Tour Tim picked us up promptly at our caravan park in an immaculately clean vehicle. He is an engaging person, full of knowledge about Albany and its surrounds - we could not have appreciated this itinerary if we’d tried to do it on our own. The coastal scenery is amazing, then being up close to the wind turbines, and finally the view of Albany from Mount Melville. Oh, and the scones and tea at the whale centre were great too. Highly recommend this tour, especially if Tim is leading it.

Albany WA and what it has to offer you Albany is a place I never thought we'd venture to given its distance from Perth but, you can now fly direct from Melbourne to Busselton with Jetstar and pick up your hire car at the airport which makes the distance much less daunting. The drive from the Margaret River is easy not much traffic and you travel through beautiful forests and farmland all the way. You will encounter some large and long trucks along the way but there is ample opportunity to pass them on the journey and there are enough petrol/food/restrooms to stop at. It took us approximately 4 hours from Dunsborough to get there and worth a mention is, make sure you have some of your own music to play on the journey as radio stations are few and far between and not very appealing with music choice.
You need to book your accommodation well in advance because Tourism has become a large contributor to the economy there. Having said all this is it worth it?? Absolutely yes on so many levels. It is quite a large town with a great history. The people are welcoming and the food is amazing. The scenery is excellent.. many beautiful beaches (Middleton Beach has so much to offer), great landscapes and an easy drive to The Gap and Natural Bridge.
We continued down to Esperance after 3 nights in the Albany area but, that's another story and must do for so many reasons.
South west Western Australia has so much to offer beyond the Margaret River region. Australia is so vast and remote areas may not be as appealing for very young families due to the tyranny of distance but for those of you that are willing, it's worth it and airlines are starting to pick up on this.

Beautiful Scenery - Must Do When in Albany I booked The Gap and Natural Wonders Tour tour with Busy Blue Bus rather than take the cruise ship excursion which was shorter and way more expensive. We were picked up at the cruise port and it turned out all the people on my tour were from my cruise ship. There were 10 people on my tour in a minibus. We had ample time at all of the attractions and our guide walked with us and gave explanations and answered any questions. Our guide loved Albany and gave a lot of information about the city too. We stopped for a delicious scone and hot chocolate at the Whaling Station. Torndirrup National Park is a must see when in Albany. We also visited The Albany Wind Farm.

Porongurup NP Granite Skywalk Susan our guide for the walk departed lots of useful information on the Albany area, flora & visual explanation for ascending the summit.

Mt Barker - Wine Tasting Tour My Wife, Son and his Wife had wonderful wine tasting tour in the Mt Barker region of WA. We were picked up by Phillip our driver for the day at Mt Baker’s visitor centre. The vehicle was a large people carrier and it was very clean and comfortable. There was another couple on the tour who we quiet quickly made friends with. The tour took us to four local vineyards and we had a lovely lunch platter at one of them that was included in the price. We have never done a wine tasting tour before and we learnt a lot and had a great time. I highly recommend the Busy Blue Bus wine tou, it was a marvellous day out.

Safe trip from Albany to Bremer Bay Susan provided a safe early morning trip to Bremer Bay to meet the naturalistic Orca tour, then returned us back to Albany. A long drive but she managed it well.

Amazing Tour This tour was such a fun day. Susan was a great guide and had so much knowledge of the area. Ended up only being the 2 of us however we still got to go on the tour it wasn’t cancelled. We both had a blast and got so much goodies from each place we visited. Would highly recommend this tour with Busy Blue Bus Tours.

Private wine tour - Margaret River Our tour with Busy Blue Bus was a little different from the usual. As we were the only couple on the tour we had a private driver with the lovely Kathleen. We had a great day with a lot of local knowledge. We had a lovely lunch with wine mead and chocolates to finish the day. This was a great way to spend the day.

Breathe taking views, with some effort before hand The walk from car park to top is roughly 2.4 kms but at your own pace it is doable for most. The rock scrambles at the top require a little bit of coordination but I guarantee you the view is worth it! We got up there quite early so still had some cloud cover which was amazing, then the clouds started to break and the view became breathe taking. We even got to see some small icicles in the air floating about. Unforgettable .

The amazing Skywalk Our day started on time when we were greeted at our accommodation by a friendly, enthusiastic guide. We chatted intently on our way to pick up other guests and it became obvious that it was going to be an interesting and enjoyable day. Tim is a very knowledgeable person and a fantastic guide. The walk itself is fairly straightforward but Tim helped us negotiate some tricky rock hopping
right at the top. The skywalk is amazing and well worth the effort to make it up the hill.
Lunch at the winery afterwards was a nice touch and Tim took the time over lunch to show me other worthwhile walks in the area.
Thank you Tim and thank you Busy Blue Bus.

A killer day with the killer whales! Seeing the Killer Whales has been a bucket list item for me and my wife and choosing The Busy Blue Bus to get us to Bremer Bay was the smart option.
It was a memorable day, but also long and tiring so we were grateful that we could sit back and relax.
Susan was punctual and professional and drove in a safe manner. She is also very well organised, and displays a caring nature.
Susan took care of our booking for this and two other trips and the process was hassle free. We can’t thank Susan enough for helping us enjoy a day that we will long remember and
we have no hesitation in recommending The Busy Blue Bus to other visitors to Albany.

So many natural wonders in one morning. What a cracker of a trip this was. Essentially a
half day trip that saw us visit a number of sights with the highlight being The Gap. Ducked into some little beaches, squeezed in a few leisurely little walks, took in some amazing views, even had time for morning tea. Packed in a whole lot in a short time but never felt rushed. Phillip was a wonderful guide too , friendly, caring and very knowledgeable.
That’s three great trips with The Busy Blue Bus.
Thank you to Susan and her team.

Winery tour Mt Barker We had an excellent day. Our driver and guide was very good at explaining the history and fortes of the different wineries. The owners of the wineries are very hard working and uet have all the time you want to discuss and appreciate the eines.

Disappointing Unfortunately the tour didn't go ahead as I was the only one booked, so a bit disappointing. However, I was advised of this the day before so I could make other arrangements.

Nature is amazing Was a very windy day and cold but nevertheless awesome. Easily accessible along a well constructed pathway. Nature creates miracles for us to view and enjoy

Amazing experience Fantastic day trip to Bremer Bay with Susan and Busy Blue Bus tours. We tried last year and as there were no Orca we received another trip for free. Susan offered the same deal and we were once again blown away by her service and standard of care

Nice company to deal with You can gauge an organization best when things goo wrong unexpectedly! We were booked on this tour and sadly my wife and I could not make it due to Covid.
Big Blue was fantastic to deal with through out the whole thing and refunded our funds. We plan to get back to Albany and we will definitely use their services.

Stunning Scenery This is a fantastic tour which enables you to view some breathtaking scenery. The tour leader is a local who gave a very informative commentary. You will come away with some stunning photos.

Taste of Denmark Sue was a great host, very personable, friendly, knowledgeable about the area. We would recommend this trip to all that love wine, chocolate, ice cream and cheese and cold meats. Great day

A very good wine experience It was close to christmas, so some of the normal chosen wineries were closed. But the prgoram they have chosen instead was very good. The blue bus was clean and tidy, we had lovely chats with the driver about..nearly everything. A goog choose!

No Information There was no microphone on the bus so those of us in the back could not hear a thing the guide was saying. Thus we missed a great deal of history of region and had a long and boring bus ride. It was very frustrating. The winery's we toured were wonderful and we got a really good sampling of the wines in the region.

Disappointed We booked our tour with Busy Blue Bus some two years ago and were due to take it three days ago.

Unfortunately, the wind was too strong for us to dock in Albany and our cruise ship captain had to cancel our visit.

Unlike the policy of the vast majority of tour operators Busy Blue Bus have refused to refund the AU$215 we had paid for the tour as we did not give 48 hours notice of cancellation. 48 hours before the weather changed and 48 hours before the captain had to make his decision.

Buyer beware!

Dream Trip with Wine Well planned, good knowledge excellant driving and very friendly atmosphere. Really enabled us to relax and take in the scenery.

Excellent Tour Had a lovely wine tour with a fabulous driver named Rosie. Rosie went out of her way to make sure we were looked after and enjoying ourselves! Was a perfect trip for a rainy day and truly enjoyed all the vineyards we visited. Would highly recommend!

3 Exellent Tours Each tour was full of surprises,Susan and Phillip gave an informative and interesting commentary. We highly recommend Busy Blue Bus Tours.

Denmark Food tour and Gap and Naturaul wonders The gap and natural Wonders tour was visually a delight ! Tim was an excellent guide , very informative with all his knowledge of the area and history. The Denmark foodie tour was great although expensive. A shared platter for 6 at Duckets at Denmark was presented well but no tongs were provided so we each had to tuck in with our own knives and forks which i thought was unhigenic in these times. No drink was offered !

Wonderful day out Susan the tour guide was very informative and friendly. The skywalk tour was well worth the trek up and the views were magnificent. Take your time going up the mountain as when you get to the top it is worth it!

Just a mess. Trip was cancelled by the provider. No notification of this was received until with great difficulty and after repeated attempts trying to contact someone in order to sort out arrangements for pick-up. Just a mess. Not sure whether the blame lies with the provider or with Viator, but wasted a lot of time trying to sort it out. Really poor communication and I'm still waiting on a refund.

Great climb up Castlerock Excellent climb up castle rock even though weather was bad day spent with great people and Sue was just wonderful as our guide and congratulations to people at Ironbark winery for wonderful hospitality

Such great value for both Money and Time, i cant speak more highly of Susan our tour guide. She went above and beyond anything expected. We booked a tour for the Granite Skywalk for my Partners 30th and she made the day amazing.
So much Knowledge of the area and history, i wish there was a busybluebus everywhere we visited.

Beautiful day in Denmark Had a wonderful day exploring Denmark and the surrounding area’s amazing produce. From wines and scrumpy to honey, cheese and chocolate. Our lovely guide Susan explained about the history and development of the region as well as background on all of the places we visited. Wonderful way to see and taste a piece of the great southern region. Highly recommend.

We highly recommend this tour, Susan was very informative, the Denmark area has so much to see.

Denmark Taste of Great Southern WA of Food & Wine A great day spent exploring the wineries in Denmark area. Susan was wonderful as our tour guide she was very informative and our day started at the Lake House where there is wine tasting, condiments, chocolates all made on the premises , Denmark Heritage cider ,Duckett’s Mill Wines & farm house cheese , wonderful Cheese all handmade on the farm , Bartholomew’s Meadery great honey icecream and honey and last stop Dark side Chocolates specializing in Australian bush ingredients like lemon myrtle in Swiss chocolate .
Highly Recommend a tour with this company and visiting all these wonderful places in Denmark from Albany

The best van service to get from Albany to Bremer Bay We were in Bremer Bay for 4 days in March 2022. We flew to Albany and arranged for Susan to drive us to Bremer Bay and back. She made the whole booking process and the trip so easy and pleasant. We needed flexibility on the dates while booking the trip from the USA. Susan was very responsive over WhatsApp and made the entire experience a breeze. She is a friendly and cheerful professional, as well as a safe driver. She followed all COVID protocols and went out of her way to make sure we felt safe. We will be calling her again on future trips.

Thank you, Susan!

A really enjoyable tour to Castle Rock Skywalk in the Porongurups, run very professionally. Although I have visited the Skywalk previously, I really appreciated Susan's professional approach on this tour. We were picked up in Albany at our accommodation and driven out to the Porongurups, where we commenced a steady climb up to the Skywalk. Susan always stopped at intervals on the path up and waited for the slower walkers, then provided very good advice and assistance in negotiating the tricky sections through the rocks and up the ladder, and back through this section on the way down.
After the visit to the Skywalk, we were taken to the local Ironwood Winery for wine tasting and a great lunch, sitting out in the sun and enjoying the great views over their vineyard. In all, a great day’s outing.
Yes, you can do this trip yourself, but then you will miss out on Susan’s wonderful information and her fantastic assistance, plus the fun of sharing a great day out with others. Definitely recommended.

About Albany and Street Art tour I've been holidaying in Albany every year for at least 10 years and I have never noticed the art works hidden in alley ways or in full view on the pavement. Sue, our tour leader, took us on a brisk walk through the town, identifying the art work and describing how it relates to Albany. She provided us with an thoroughly informative history from the beginning of settlement right through to today, and kept us entertained with some hilarious comments. All 12 in our group thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Everyone one of them agrees that the tour gets 10 out of 10. Highly recommended.

A Great Day! A wonderful day spent in and around Denmark with my family. Very comfortable transport with our wonderful driver being a great source of local information! My tip would be not to make dinner plans following your day out, you won't need to eat another morsel!!

Tim is the best tour guide I have had in any tour in WA, he is very knowledgable and so friendly. He made our tour.

Stay away from this one.
I should have read more reviews before booking. Others hired a car and got a free tourist map and had a much better day than the few hours I paid for in Albany.
10 years open it says on Facebook with only 8 reviews on Google?
I'm embarrassed I fell for a street sale on the main road to save some money. :-(

Great small business and happy staff
