We would never have been able to cover the wide range if we had self driven. The meals were all excellent and we visited cafes at beautiful scenic places and wine tasting at lovely vineyards. In particular it was great to see the support for local businesses and we were always looked after. The group size is small enough that you can relate to everyone and we heard lots of stories about the local history.
Thank you for the experience.
Neil and Rusty were such generous leaders with their knowledge and care of our group.
Always punctual, the itinerary ran smoothly from our Perth hotel pick throughout the entire tour.
Cafe/restaurant choices always served excellent food which was arranged early so there wasn’t unnecessary waiting at each venue.
Our group of 10 got along well, 6 of which were family, with our bus being comfortable for long and short trips.
The 3 vineyards on our tour each offered a different accent on the wine process. Hearing the backgrounds/history of the growers made the tastings feel a real paddock to glass experience.
Loved the lighthouse tour, the spectacular coastline and lunch at the ‘last eatery before the Antarctic’.
I would highly recommend joining a McLeod tour, you definitely need the 2 nights to begin to appreciate the Margaret River area.
We look forward to returning one day and if not hope this review brings you to this exceptional part of Australia and onto a McLeod Tour.
I recommend this 2 night tour for mature adults wanting to experience the Margaret River with passionate local guides familiar with the history of the area both past and present.
What made this tour extraordinary was that it wasn’t just about wine. It was a gentle reminder of the beauty of our land, the stories of those who came before us, and the people who shape this region today.
If you asked us to choose a single favourite moment, we honestly couldn’t. The three days blended into the perfect mix of experiences — walking the Busselton Jetty, exploring the coast and caves, meeting the beautiful horses on the McLeod family property, enjoying thoughtfully chosen meal spots, and indulging in chocolate and coffee tastings. And yes, we even got to see stingrays and dolphins, which felt like a gift.
Another unexpected highlight was on the journey back to Perth, listening to the audio version of The Road to Prevelly by Geoffrey Edwards — a moving account of the author’s gratitude to the Preveli Monastery in Crete and the villagers who helped Allied servicemen in 1941.
McLeod Tours offers a truly authentic experience, delivered by a genuinely authentic family team who clearly love what they do. We couldn’t recommend them more.
Tracey & Paul
Thoroughly recommended.
Food was excellent and thanks to Coralie who went above and beyond to cater to my dietary requirements.
Thanks guys.
Thank you very much for taking us on the best tour we have ever experienced. We were so lucky to be on a tour with true locals who love Margaret River and who shared that love of the area with us. The accommodation was excellent, the food was excellent and you showed us everything that was worth seeing in Margaret River. Not just wineries which Margaret River is known for. The visit to your property was a highlight and meeting and feeding your beautiful horses was very special. Coralie organising lunch for one of our fellow passengers who was sick and could not join us one day , showed us the difference between a family run business and a large company. Very special. Thanks again Cowboy and Billabong , we would love to do the tour again sometime in the future.

Thank you to everyone at McLeod yours for such a fantastic experience!!
Day 1 guide was Lincoln who was great and could tell you anything about WA. As we travelled south we stopped at some lovely spots with beautiful scenery and special stops. Listening to stories and history was wonderful. Accomodation was great, clean and all the facilities that you need. Day 2 guide was Neil who had some great stories to tell and telling of his many experiences and travels. Breakfasts and lunches were great and very satisfying. Day 3 was coffee and wine tasting with Lincoln as our guide and great experiences with lunch at an olive farm. Rob another guide drove us back to Perth as we listened to a true story in Prevally which was very intering..
Thank you McLeods Touurs for an unforgettable experience and the kindness to me as a solo traveller.
Margaret from Ireland
Luch was included each day.
Breakfast was included on Days 2 and 3.
Tickets to various attractions were all included as well.
Accommodation was lovely and spacious for the 2 nights.
The 3 wineries we visited were all lovely.
In general the scenery in the Margaret River region is just stunning.
If that wasn't enough, when they found my bus pass in the coach, Mrs McLeod offered to drive out of her way to give it! I don't think there are many tour operators who would show such care and consideration towards their clients.

I would definitely recommend McLeod’s Tours
I highly recommend McLeod tours to anyone visiting the area.
Thank you for a very memorable experience.

So much history, interesting facts, so much info!
Particularly appreciated Lincoln’s insightful and thoughtful guidance and care.
We thought this trip would be a relaxing way to spend a few days before getting on the Indian Pacific but it turned out to be just as much a highlight as the Train Trip.
Great memories.

The accommodation in Margaret River was excellent. Lovely big clean rooms with a kitchen supplied with everything you’d need to cook a meal including a toaster. We also enjoyed the close proximity to the beach and enjoyed walking there at the end of the days tour and watching the sunset.
The tour was a great introduction to the delights of Margaret River with beautiful white sandy beaches, Mammoth Cave and the excellent local wineries, especially Redgate winery, my favourite. The host was very down to earth and not your normal snobbish wine salesperson. All the meals supplied were excellent quality too.
I especially enjoyed Neil taking us to his property in Margaret River at the end of the days touring, which was not part of the tour and allowing us to feed carrots to his beautiful horses before reaching our accommodation for the evening. A very enjoyable experience.
All in all, a wonderful way to spend a few days in Margaret River.
I couldn't recommend McLeod's tour high enough if you want to not only visit the region but get that personal touch that larger tour groups don't normally have. Will hopefully return one day & again choose to tour with them.
Thanks Lincoln, thanks Rob, 100% satisfied.
Lincoln’s attention to detail and in depth commentary was an absolute delight!
The Margaret River region is superb and being made to feel like part of the family on the tour made it a truly memorable experience. Thank you Lincoln!
