Overall rating

4.6 / 5

We had the luxury of a limousine and our own driver, which meant we could tailor the excursion to our interests. The driver was most accomodating and we saw some of the coast that wasn't included in the itinerary. We weren't really interested in going to a wine museum or a chocolate factory. We had booked the tour because it also went to Hahndorf and Victor Harbour. We did feel that the driver lacked some local information about the places we saw but that didn't detract from the overall experience.

Had the best day with Deep. We got on the bus 3 women over 60 then 10 boys got on from the age of 18-19 what a amazing day we had. Would recommend this tour with Deep anytime. K Slomp Perth WA 11/03/2023
