Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Sylvia showed myself and 3 friends around the outskirts of Perth on a wildflower tour that left us all with lasting memories. We saw 7 different types of orchids which would never have been found on our own, plus a multitude of other wildflowers and covered some very scenic countryside as far up as New Norcia. Very thankful for her knowledge and ability to zero in on the exact places to find such a variety of wildflowers for the time of year we were travelling. Highly recommend doing one of these tours with Sylvia. She definitely knows how to give you a great day out.

Hi Cherie A, It was a delight to have you all on tour to see our special WA Wildflowers. You all also made the day very special with your keen interest in the flora and taking fantastic photos. I look forward to having you on tour again another time you all are in WA. Best wishes. Sylvia

Fabulous wildflowers, countryside, beaches & even whales on my 7 day tour with Sylvia my excellent guide & owner of Luxury Outback Tours. We left Perth at 7.00am on a Wednesday morning & our wonderful journey began. So many interesting stops off the main roads & beautiful flowers to be seen in spots I am sure only Sylvia knows. Lots of fascinating towns from Katanning to Esperance , Bremer Bay & Albany & back to Perth. Every day another fascinating adventure. Luxury stays at the Mill in Katanning & the Beach House in Albany. Authentic Aussie Motels in small towns with generous Aussie welcoming hospitality & great pub food. The breakfast at the Beach House equal to anything I have experienced at the best 5 star hotels of the world.
Sylvia is a highly skilled & experienced guide, you wont find anyone more knowledgeable, amiable & interesting offering a new surprise everyday! I will be back next year for another exciting adventure.

Hi Rosie119, Thank you for our awesome review. We did have a terrific time seeing wildflowers, WA's amazing natural features at Esperance, Fitzgerald River National Park, Bremer Bay, Albany. Staying at 5 star accommodation and quirky regional accommodation and a strong emphasis on regional Food and Wine oh so delicious. I do look forward to having you back on tour for another adventure into the regions of WA. Best wishes.

We embarked on this trip with two mains aims. One was to see the coastal scenery of south west Western Australia and the second was to see the wildflowers in season in Western Australia. The Luxury Outback Tour with Sylvia Mills met our aims admirably. Sylvia, who grew up on a farm in Esperance had an in depth knowledge of the geography of the area and also of the horticulture and was able to take us to many off the beaten track locations for special flowers and special views. As an added bonus Sylvia also introduced us to some of the excellent wines now being grown in that area. We are thankful to Sylvia for giving us such a wonderful experience.

Thank you. We were so fortunate to score wonderful wildflower displays as a result to latter seasonal rains. I always love showing off my sentimental favourite destination. I look forward to having you both back on tour for more WA Wildflowers in another region.

Sorry - a disappointing experience. We felt Sylvia was not at her best and would have been better to cancel given what we paid for the day. As it was we felt Sylvia wished she was elsewhere and couldn't wait to drop us off. She answered the odd question but the main commentary to speak of was unflattering remarks about other drivers on the road. We totally missed the River Cruise - it was never mentioned - despite this having been organised back in January and confirmed a fortnight out. When my daughter who booked the tour gave feedback about our disappointing experience and questioned why the River Cruise had been overlooked Sylvia blamed us - she said we should have complained on the day and that we didn't say the Swan River Cruise was a priority for us. The lunch venue wasn't appropriate - it was too far away. No thought was given in relation to safe walking paths - I have a walker and was expected to navigate mulch/bark chip surfaces without assistance - Sylvia had walked off ahead. Frankly, we were thankful our experience was limited to one day!

Thank you for your feedback good or bad, it ensures for me to have a very close look at our tour experiences and handling people’s needs. And to learn from this. As discussed in our emails with your daughter I do think there was a complete miscommunication for this tour. I was late picking you up and did apologise. We did discuss before we moved off to discover what you would like to do. Due to the fact my lateness had taken up so much the itinerary. First up was to visit Kings Park to see the wildflowers in the botanical gardens. You mentioned you would like to spend as much time there as possible to see the flora at its peak. I did ask you about you the river cruise. You said you had been on the cruise a few days earlier to go to Rottnest Island with friends. And did not feel like doing that section again. I do not know what was so inappropriate to have lunch at il lido Canteen at Cottesloe it is a highly rated restaurant and has delighted our previous guests. I do know you did enjoy your meal and a glass of wine. I did ensure you had level ground to walk on as I am very aware, members of my own family so have walkers and previous guest. I am very sorry you were disappointed with your tour experience, and I apologise for that. If you did come back to Western Australia for another trip. I would be delighted to ensure you have a better experience with us at Luxury Outback Tours

Not the usual coach trip to a very far off place. With great company , interesting info about the area and plenty of atmospheric road stops , time just flew. And we travelled in supreme comfort
a wonderful B&B at Esperance ., plenty of local colour, opportunities to chat to the people who live there and of course visits to the beautiful beaches. Sylvia as always pays a great deal of
attention to detail and is always great company. A memorable trip and it was my second to this area with Sylvia RB

Thoroughly enjoyed the day trip to New Norcia which included a walking tour to learn the history of the Benedictine Community and lunch at the local hotel. We also called into the Bindoon Bakehaus for morning tea which was delicious.
Sylvia was very knowledgeable about the cultural and historic aspects of New Norcia. A very pleasant day all round.

From the time we met the competent assured and friendly Syvia we knew this would be a great trip - a real adventure from Perth to Broome for six friends from the East. Stops for Adventure and meals were well considered by our knowledgeable guide and sufficiently frequent to keep us all happy.
The WA coast is of course a splendid adventure and when we dipped inland to savour the red rock chasms and spinifex of the Pilbara and Karijini we were impressed!
Highlights of the journey were thoughtfully organised - Wooleen Station - Kalbarri - Monkey Mia - Ningaloo and WhaleSharks and spectacular chasms and rock pools. Sylvia knowledgeably directed our attention to items she had found were of interest to us such as birds and plants and our lists grew longer. Thanks Sylvia for a brilliant experience.

It was a pleasure to have you all on tour to see some of my favourite places in Western Australia. Ningaloo, Pilbara, Karijini, Broome and the Station Country. it is always you the people on tour who make our tours extraordinary and memorable. This trip you all reminded me why I love being a private tour operator. Meeting fantastic people and showing you Western Australia

My husband and I have just returned from the 4 day tour to Kalbarri and Monkey Mia with Sylvia Mills of Country Escapes in WA tours. The entire trip was amazing - the Pinnacles, the stromatolites, the flora and fauna. It is difficult to choose one highlight: perhaps feeding the dolphins at Monkey Mia or sailing around Shark Bay, perhaps the wonderful food or the knowledgeable commentary as we passed deserts, bush and settlements. Sylvia tailored our stops to our interests - always considerate of whatever we might need or enjoy. Tours like this are made or broken by your travelling companions and travelling with good people inevitably adds that extra dimension. Travelling with Sylvia was a pleasure. We cannot recommend this tour highly enough - a wonderful introduction to the delights of Western Australia.

Thank you for your very high praise of this tour. The Shark Bay – Monkey Mia Four Day Tour was a fantastic trip made all the more pleasurable with participants who were very keen to see, experience and learn as much as possible of the areas we were touring through and visiting and enjoying everyone’s company with stories and laughter. I hope you do come back again to Western Australia to see more of our extraordinary state.

My husband and I recently spent three days touring with Sylvia Mills in the Perth area and could not have been more pleased with the experience. The tours we selected were Perth/Freemantle, Wave Rock, and the Pinnacles--each a vey different tour. Both the Wave Rock and the Pinnacles required lengthy drives in complete comfort and filled with informative conversation and Sylvia's extensive knowledge of the area. She picked us up promptly at our hotel and returned us there on schedule at the end of the very enjoyable days. Our stops were well planned with delightful places for morning coffee and lunch and many photo stops as well. Sylvia is a complete professional in every way, and these tours were even more than we had hoped for. We have commented many times in the days following that touring without Sylvia would have caused us to miss the very essence of the area. We highly recommend spending as much time with her as you can possibly fit into your schedule. A tour with Sylvia is a wonderful travel investment!

Thank you for your comments. It was a pleasure to have you and your husband on tour for three days in a row to different regions of Western Australia. I am pleased you found your special personalised small group tour experience with Country Escapes in WA Tours to be Top Class and was more than you had hoped for. I am gratified you felt you had been immersed into the regions we visited and experienced the essence of the area. You felt your tour experience was a wonderful travel investment. This is exactly what we strive for all our visitors. I do look forward to having back on tour another time to explore more of Western Australia.

We spent two absolutely delightful days with Sylvia while we were staying in Perth. We went on the wildflower day trip and the Margaret River Luxury Wine Tour. As things turned out it was just me and my partner accompanied on these trips by Sylvia. She rolled up to our lodgings each morning and a spacious 4 by 4 and made us feel very special indeed.

She is knowledgeable,passionate about her work,fragrant (if one is allowed to say those things in an increasingly PC world) and one hell of a giggle ! What more could anyone ask for in a personalised tour. She has endless energy and a zest for life that permeates everything she does. Even the mid-morning stop for tea (and delightfully termed 'comfort' stop) had a unique sense of occasion. Admittedly,we were completely indulged and able to make ad-hoc stops en-route because it was just the two of us and Sylvia.

She has worked hard to establish her business and deserves high praise indeed! Sylvia's relaxed but consummately professional manner are a rare mix. We had truly memorable adventures with her and will remember them for many years to come.

I can recommend her tours unreservedly - you won't be disappointed !
