    I’m really disappointed and quite unimpressed with how the cancellation of the tour was handled. The tour was cancelled ONE HOUR before it was scheduled to start because the minimum number of people was not met. It seems I was called an hour before the tour was supposed to start, but no message was left, so I didn’t think it required an urgent callback when I missed it. Moreover, there was no follow-up email or text to inform me that the tour had been cancelled, so I went to the meeting place as expected and waited around 15 minutes before I realised that no guide was showing up. I then received an email over an hour after the tour was scheduled to start saying that the tour had been cancelled and my ticket refunded [I've attached a screenshot]. Cancelling a tour ONE HOUR before it is scheduled to start and then not informing me is really appalling customer service.

    First time visitors to Albany and weren’t here for long so wanted to get the most out of our stay. We booked this tour and looked forward to it. We rocked up on the morning with 3 other passenger’s and off we set. The driver, I don’t know his name as he didn’t introduce himself or anything about our day, had in-depth knowledge of rock and boulder formation in the area, fossils, shark attacks and real estate etc but little of the history, anything we gained was from the information of our stops. The tour could have been arranged and booked by ourselves, there was very little gain of the history etc for the amount we paid and felt the tour was overvalued for what we got.

    We were the only people on the tour that afternoon, and Lawrence collected us from our accommodation. His local knowledge (and, by the sound of it, extensive local connections) made the tour fascinating and very informative, with some behind-the-scenes insights that don't usually crop up on such occasions. Thanks, Lawrence - you made our afternoon!

    Then National ANAC Centre so very well done incredible to travel through the life of one on the brave young men setting out in ships from their homeland in the town of Albany to go to war in a country so far away. So very sad and so many never made it back home to Australia. Heritage Park was fantastic a must to see when you visit the beautiful town of Albany.
