Sean is excellent. There were 3 couples and he knew us all by the end of the day. He went way beyond the norm to make us all have a fun day. You find out why he is pretty fully booked when you complete the day with him. Book early, another couple at our B+B, could not find a spot... More

Sean's tours have a justifiably high reputation and we had high expectations. We were not disappointed - far from it. In retrospect, our trip to the Margaret River region would have been much the poorer if we hadn't been able to take one of Sean's tours. Sean is very much the tour and his personal touch makes the day a... More

A friend of mine from the US was visiting Perth for the first time and was keen to go to Margaret River and experience the wine country. I decided to book us both on a tour and wanted a behind the scenes type tour as opposed to the usual just cellar doors experience. Due to the timing of our visit... More

Whilst luckily it was beautiful weather on the 2 days me and the husband spent with Sean, I think this statement quite nicely highlights the key to his company's success - Sean's flexible sense of humour and determination to please irrespective of potential obstacles. Despite the recent fires, the regions tourist attractions have fortunately been largely unaffected - Sean tells... More

My wife and I booked both the discovery tour and the wine tour for consecutive days and found that Sean was a fantastic guide that really knows his stuff! From the exclusive visits to wineries that dont have a cellar door to the tracks he has trimmed back himself to allow access to the views from the cliffs it was... More

With the plethora of gushing reviews about this Discovery Tour, I was half-expecting a NASA flight to the moon. Unfortunately Shaun hasn’t added that to the itinerary (just yet) but there are plenty of other activities to get excited about. It’s certainly not the Amazon but how many visitors get to paddle up the river the famous wine region is... More

Sean is the tour. He makes it all worthwhile. Varied, interesting, fully packed tour of Margaret River covering it all in a day. From experiencing canoeing to walking the Cape to Cape track, tasting scrumptious local honey, seeking out Marrons, to imbibing in the exclusive world renowned winery of Fraser Gallop. We were thoroughly entertained as part of a small... More

We chose "the best of the best" Margaret River Discovery tour...and we were certainly not disappointed! Our host Sean was fabulous - down to earth, highly respected, professional and his wealth of knowledge on the Margaret River made our day so enjoyable. It was well organised, and what I liked most that it was anything BUT a mini bus wine... More

We (myself and my wife) visited the Margaret River region for the first time in Dec 11. We were looking for an introduction to the area and its wineries, as we had a week to further explore on our own. However, we weren't interested in doing a 'minivan' style wine tour with a larger group, preferring to look for something... More

It pains me to agree with everyone else, but really this trip is faultless from start to finish. Sean is a great guide, the right mix of knowledge and humour and he instantly seems to gauge his clients personalities and tweaks the day accordingly. We did the discovery tour, a perfect mix of outdoors, nature, the region and of course,... More
