| My husband and myself did the wine and brewery tour last Thursday and we would like to thank all involved in an excellent time. From the bus driver Silvano who is just in the RIGHT job to the wonderful lunch prepared by the company to the winerys and cheese and chocolate factory we had a most enjoyable day. Thank you once again |

On Monday last week, my two friends and I were collected from Abbey Beach
Resort to go on the Bush Tucker Wine and Brewery Tour.
Gary cared for us and others on the bus and made the day a delightful
experience.
The three wineries and the brewery were very worthwhile visits and tasting
pleasures, and the lunch he served at Knotting Hill Winery was truly
excellent.
As well as his knowledge of the area, wines and food, he was fun to have as
our host.
I would like you to sincerely thank him on our behalf.

I just got back home from a couple of days away down
south. While we were there my friends and I went on a Bushtucker Tour.
We had Brian as our tour guide. We only had a small group , but it was well worth the money. I will recommend this tour to any one. Please pass on a big thankyou to Brian for me.
P.S food was great too. I will have to do it again one day
Thanks again Janet

My family and I came down to Margaret River for the Bush Tucker Canoe Tour on Monday 25th January 2010.
Just wanted to pass on that it was the best trip ever!. Kris our tour guide was awesome and he made our adventure. I am telling everyone back home in Perth about this amazing day, I know two families that are looking at coming down to do it.
Thanks heaps for providing such an amazing experience. Will look forward to doing the wine tour next year when we come down again. Will definitely be booking again.

Hi Everyone, and particularly our tour guide Gary,
Thanks so much for a brilliant tour on Saturday. We all had a fabulous time, really enjoyed the venues, and were so impressed with the way that Gary managed to keep a potentially very rowdy bunch under control without losing his sense of humour! Surprisingly hangovers were not too bad the next day amongst the boys, and the campsite remained tranquil and undisturbed that evening.
Our thanks too to the wine farms who so gallantly hosted us. It's our hope that the young people they so nobly entertained, might be the wine connoisseurs of tomorrow, although it's hard to imagine that today. However, I know everyone enjoyed visiting the wine estates, and some of them have since commented to us that they got a lot out of the experience, despite their lack of knowledge about wine in general. Lunch at Knotting Hill was great (I'm thanking them in a separate email) and of course the breweries were a big hit.
Dave and I enjoyed the day immensely, and it was a pleasure having Gary around to chat with.
This is our third Bushtucker Tour, and we shall definitely continue to recommend you.
Thanks again,
Jo, Dave and Sam Castro

My wife and I did the winery tour with Garry on Monday (26th October) and would like to express our thanks for a wonderful day.
We are from the Gold Coast and have done winery tours in the Granite Belt of QLD and northern NSW (Stanthorpe & Tenterfield) but we are in awe of Garry’s professionalism and knowledge (and stand-over tactics) and had an absolute ball!!
As is the case in the real world, we got the tip-off about Bushtucker Tours from friends – you can’t beat word of mouth because if it ain’t true then people won’t tell others.
Congratulations on a well-run tour and thanks again to Garry for making it a memorable day for us all (Aussies, Alaskans, Swiss honey-mooners, Poms, Irish, et al)
Cheers,
See you again next time

Thanks again.

Thanks again Silvano!

We would like to thank you for a fantastic day on Sunday. We all had a fabulous time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
The tour itself is great. It was beautiful paddling up that river! But, it was George who made the day outstanding! He was fun, interesting and captured our attention all day. He showed us some amazing things and the lunch he prepared was awesome.
We are always handing out your brochures, trying to refer people your way because we had been on the wine tour before.
Now we have been on the canoe tour, we can tell people all about that too!

We would like to let you know what a fantastic day we had on the Cave & Canoe Tour on Thurs 15th April with our wonderful guide Kris. Not only did it turn out to be a beautiful day (after the storms on the Tues) but canoeing up the river was very luxurious (except for the race back for the wine!!! Bit sore that night), we found the historical information very interesting and learnt a few things along the way we didn’t know, and the lunch was wonderful – even the grub or two we had. We have told a few friends about the tour and we hope that next time we come down that way to do it again.
So thanks again to Kris for the fantastic adventure.

I would just like to say how great the Winery Tour was that I went on with my partner last bank holiday weekend. We were with Kris on the Sunday tour and he was exceptional at bringing the whole group together (a quality that is rare to find!).
I hope this is the right forum to be commending the quality of the tour as I shall also put one on TripAdvisor too! |

My 3 friends and myself (we are all 19) recently went on a Gourmet Bush Tucker and Winery Tour last Wednesday on the 30th of June and we all felt it was necessary and very much deserved to write an email and say how fantastic it was! We loved every minute of the tour and had an awesome day! We all learnt so much about wine which is very useful as two of us work in the hospitality industry! The lunch provided was absolutely delicious and we all tasted foods that we wouldn't usually eat which we found interesting! Also, our tour guide gave us a description of all the different foods which was interesting!
Our tour guide Silvano was so friendly and funny! We all absolutely loved spending the day with him and the other people on the tour! We were so impressed as well as he immediately remembered all the names of the people on the tour! He was also very knowledgeable with information about the margaret river area which is particularly interesting for people from overseas and interstate! So if you could please thank him again from all of us for such a fantastic day!
We will all recommend your tours, in particular this one, to all our friends and family and we are all looking forward to coming back to margaret river in the very near future to do another wine tour! Thanks again for such a fantastic day! |

We just want to provide some commendations on the wine tour we enjoyed on June 26.
The reason we asked for Brian was borne out. His knowledge of the region, education on wine and wonderful sense of humour added to a fantastic day.
We have enclosed a photo of the group including Brian surrounding one of the “Margaret River cows”. It so happens that our niece (who is identified by being pointed at) was the creator of this cow.
Please pass on our commendations to Brian and also to your team for contributing to a great weekend had by everyone.
Cheers

My husband and I went on the Winery/Brewery and Canoe tours in February as part of our honeymoon.
The winery/brewery tour was fantastic and Silvano was the best guide! The next day we did the canoe tour with Kris and that too was fantastic.
At the start of the canoe tour we were presented with a bottle of wine courtesy of Silvano. What a lovely gesture.
Thank you Bushtucker Tours for 2 awesome days! I plan to come back again :) |

Anyone reading this to find out whether or not to go with Bushtucker Tours - DO IT!!!!
I handed in my keys and mobile phone and got away for a couple of days down south and it would not have been what it was without the Bushtucker Tours and Silvano driving the bus.
I will happily admit to not being a wine drinker and I loved the fact that the tour was not just about wine - yes I did buy a bottle though and may very well have been tempted to try more in the future! ;-)
Absolutely fantastic day and I would very highly reccommend it for anyone of any age, although a sense of humour is a must.
I will be booking another tour in the next couple of months tops and can't wait.
Thank you Bushtucker Tours - awesome company and thank you Silvano - I'm sure the day wouldn't have been the same without you.
I beleive the bosses name is Helen? - Congratulations Helen, you have a wonderful business and even though I only met one of your tour guides, I bet you have a fantastic team too!

Last weekend we experienced our second Bush Tucker Tour with tour guide Brian. To sum the experience up in one word "Brilliant". The best tour guide we have ever had.
The day was once again planned to perfection and the bush lunch
provided was fab!
We thank you and Brian for your professionalism and for the fantastic hospitality displayed throughout the day and will be back in October with some interstate relatives and yes Brian is the man for the day.
Please pass this on to Brian as his passion for wines and hospitality is truly appreciated

| We've just come back from a weekend down south and we thought we would treat ourselves to a winery & brewrey tour - Well we are sooooo glad we did because we had the best day!! With 6 of us plus 12 rowdy-ready-for-fun ladies who joined us on the bus we knew we were in for a great day!!! With Awesome George as our wonderful and patient guide we set off on a fantastic day, tasting some beautiful wines, chocies and cheese - and a nice cold beer at the end of the day for the boys!!! Lunch was beautiful and relaxing!!! Many a sing-a-long was sung on the bus!! A fantastic day was had by everyone on the bus and i'm sure that everyone's lung's and cheek's were just as sore as ours from laughing so much all day!! Will be back for sure - Thanks for a great day out Bushtucker tours!!! |

On Saturday the 14th August a few friends and I were down in Margaret River and we had the pleasure of taking part in a wine tour with Silvano Costantino Silver Service Bush Tucker Tours.
The tour was amazing and fantastic value for money.
Silvano was a very lovely man who made the day educational and entertaining.
He truly is an huge asset to your company and we thought it should be acknowledged.
We would like to Thank you and your organisation for such a fantastic day out and we look forward to booking with you next year on our annual trip.

Just a quick comment to thank you for such an awesome day out last friday.
We had some friends over from Victoria who were very excited to be heading down south for a Margaret River get away, Silvano was the perfect host and made the day throughly enjoyable, we all thought your tour was the highlight of our trip.
We will not hesitate in recommending bush tucker tours to any of our friends.
Once again, thank you very much |
