We paid $475pp for this "wine tour", which on the itinerary included morning tea, a visit to 3 wineries as well as a visit to a chocolate factory and olive oil factory. We weren't given morning tea (we had to pay for ourselves) and we were only taken to two wineries. We also paid extra for a cheeseboard, which was not provided. Paul's driving was so erratic we were in fear of our lives and he was also holding his phone while driving. He also scolded us when the lunch took too long and we had to sit there for a bit longer, when that was beyond our control.
We emailed to complain about the poor experience we had several times and they have never responded, very unprofessional and dishonest behaviour. Once they have your money they don't want to hear from you again. I wish I had bothered to read the reviews prior to booking this tour, as I can see many have had a similar experience.
I also can see they have made 5 different websites, which is likely to hid the fact that they have so many 1 star reviews.
Lovely personalized service and certainly went above and beyond to get us into 1 last winery.
Back in November 2024 we booked the Margaret River Signature wine tour plus cheese boards for me and my wife for the last day of a long holiday in Australia in April 2025 as a final, luxury farewell to Australia before heading home. We booked online and paid a total of AUD 550 and received an email confirmation and receipt.
In Australia, the evening before the tour, having heard nothing further I emailed Unwind Tours to check the pickup arrangements from our accommodation in Margaret River. The following morning, having still heard nothing more I rang the mobile number I had and left a message. Still nothing and the pickup time came and went.
Eventually, having dug out an alternative number from the internet I spoke to Shane who said they had no record of the booking. He seemed willing to try to sort out something but explained that it might take time to reach us (hours not minutes) and that anything he did wouldn't be the tour we'd booked. By this time the local visitor centre had rung round and found an alternative, albeit much more basic tour that was at least definitely available.
To cut a long story short it then took 2 weeks and numerous text messages (which cost as I was then back in England) and emails to eventually make contact with Paul at Unwind Tours and obtain a refund.
The only excuses were:
1. That the system I had booked through (the confirmation email came from "rezdy.com") hadn't communicated this through to Unwind Tours (so it had never made it into their diary);
2. That Paul had been away (presumably why emails / text messages and voicemails attended to - but why does nobody else pick them up if the boss is away / why isn't the boss checking communications on his phone if nobody else is doing it?).
Altogether a communication shambles on their part.
Be warned. If you haven't had direct confirmation specifically from Paul, don't assume that the tour will happen.
Our group of 5 booked this tour through the Get your Guide website. It cost us $475 per person for a Perth to Margaret River day tour. Apparently the tour itinerary included a tour of some of Margaret River's most acclaimed boutique wineries and visits to Vasse Virgin gourmet food and Gabriel's chocolate and Canal Rocks.
Not more than a few minutes after booking, I received a call from the "Director of Fun" Paul wanting more details about our group. Then a few days before our tour, I received an email from Paul's assistant - Ally asking if Paul could call me later in the day to discuss our tour. He then called me that evening and requested our group cancel the booking from the third party website and book directly through his so he could avoid paying a commission. He said he would buy a bottle of Margaret River wine as a thank you. I spoke with our group who were hesitant to do so but agreed to help a small business. We booked through Unwind Tours directly and even added another $30 worth of cheeseboards. Paul said he would take this tour himself even though he is the owner and hasn't done many tours.
The day of the tour arrived and we were picked up by Paul. One of the group members was staying at a different hotel and paid the same amount as the rest but was not offered to be picked up from their location. They had to walk to a nearby hotel for pickup instead.
The van was old, untidy and had scratched up windows. While driving, Paul kept turning his head away from the road and looking at us while talking. His driving was hazardous - driving 60 km/hr on 110 km/hr freeway. Multiple cars were overtaking us on the 4 hr drive one way. One of the group members asked Paul which wineries we would be visiting and he responded, "Wise winery." But was vague about any other locations.
He stopped at the Crooked Carrot cafe for "morning tea" because according to the itinerary again, morning tea and coffee was included. However, when we got there, he only asked two of our group which coffee we would like and the others quickly rushed over not to miss out. We ended up purchasing our own food as no morning tea was provided.
When we got to Wise, Paul told us we would be having lunch here as well and to "take our time" and call him when we were ready. The cost of the 3 course lunch and wine tasting was $90 per person and was included in the tour. We ordered the lunch and were served the dessert when Paul called me asking if we were finished as we were getting "too comfortable." I explained to Paul that we were only going as fast as the food was served.
He was in a passive aggressive mood when he returned to pick us up and even pulled over to take a phone call after scolding us for taking too long with lunch. He then drove us to Credaro Winery for a quick tasting and no cheeseboard was served at any time. He then asked if we still wanted to visit Canal Rocks? Of course the group still wanted to continue with the itinerary but there no mention of the chocolate factory or gourmet food tasting. This was completely omitted from the tour.
We spent less than 20 minutes at Canal Rocks and one of the tour members wanted to wait for sunset. It was only 10 minutes before sunset but Paul refused to allow our group member to watch the sunset at the rocks. He then drove to the accommodation village nearby to purchase himself a coffee and parked right in the middle of a driveway blocking cars from exiting the village. He mentioned how the shop he just visited had "some great wines." But no mention our wine which was promised.
Our drive back was awkward and uncomfortable and the group avoided all conversation so we get home safely. He dropped us off and still no wine!
I emailed them requesting a refund for the cheeseboard which was reluctantly given and a $38 wine dropped off at our hotel to share between 5! I asked for a partial refund given the poor service and lack of itinerary. No response from Unwind Tours.
From the beginning, Ally was incredible. She handled all the pre-organisation with such attention to detail—everything from pre-ordering our lunch to arranging beautiful cheese platters and all the little touches in between. She kept me updated every step of the way, right up to the day before the tour, which made the whole process feel effortless and stress-free.
From start to finish, Paul was absolutely amazing—professional, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. Despite a delay due to traffic, Paul managed the situation seamlessly by calling ahead and adjusting our schedule so that everything still ran smoothly. Thanks to him, we didn’t miss a thing, and the day unfolded perfectly.
It was a relaxed, enjoyable, and memorable day filled with laughter, great drinks, and wonderful company. I can’t recommend Unwind Tours and Paul enough for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion in style.
The Bickley Valley Wine, Gin & Cider Tour was the perfect choice—great venues, excellent drinks, and a wonderful atmosphere with the people I love most.
Thanks Paul & Ally
Had quite a talk with him only to have him turn up Saturday. With 5 extras !!! So they picked up another $875 from them. Talk about a scam !!! this guy drove the bus like he stole it gave us no research into the winery’s he took us too poor quality service. We were to have gin and cider tour as well not even close to that never happened and very poor all around thankfully with family and friends we made our own tour would have been cheaper to hire an taxi driver to be the skipper $1700 for the day. Don’t waste your money on this company scammers
Great day we were picked up from accomodation. Visited wineries we had not been before and the 3 course lunch was amazing. The day was really laid back and the guide let us set the pace we were never rushed out of a venue, it was good value for money.
Prior to the day one lady had to cancel. This was not a problem with the refund being received the next day,
A great experience would highly recommend,
My advice is “ Don’t make a fuss - just get on the bus “.
Thank you from Peter and Tammie
PS: thanks Terry for the great photos it was a good addition to the day
Thank you Unwind Tours for a great day out.
Ian, the driver was the only redeeming factor. He was accommodating and professional about the ‘mix up’. He added in one more winery stop and agreed to drop us at another winery while the rest of the tour went to the scheduled chocolate factory stop, which was appreciated. However the tour still missed the mark. Feedback has been given privately to the company with no response received.
Paul picked me up early and we headed right down there.
Nice mix of wineries and the lunch was great.
Had a great time with Paul and the others on the trip. Highly recommended.
