Lovely day out with Busy Blue Bus Tours! We went on the Mt Barker Grape Escape with Susan as tour guide. We even had the bus to ourselves so it was like a private tour! We learned a lot about wine production in the area, sampled so much great wine and had a lovely morning snack and great lunch. It was great to interact with the producers who were all friendly. We felt unrushed and welcomed. Would recommend!

Most enjoyable day out. 4 great Wineries to visit including lunch, a nice mixed platter. Sue our tour guide was knowledgeable about the area we travelled and the places we visited. The wine tastings were not only yummy but informative, mostly given by family members of the Winery. The bus was comfortable and roomy. Definitely recommend this tour.

We had a great day with Susan visiting several wineries. The bus was very comfortable, the lunch was delicious and the wine was delicious!!

A fantastic day! Small group. Visited 4 wineries for tastings - all quite different. A good introduction to the region. Susan our guide was very knowledgeable about the region, the wineries and the wines. Also included a lovely shared platter lunch. Highly recommended.

My Wife, Son and his Wife had wonderful wine tasting tour in the Mt Barker region of WA. We were picked up by Phillip our driver for the day at Mt Baker’s visitor centre. The vehicle was a large people carrier and it was very clean and comfortable. There was another couple on the tour who we quiet quickly made friends with. The tour took us to four local vineyards and we had a lovely lunch platter at one of them that was included in the price. We have never done a wine tasting tour before and we learnt a lot and had a great time. I highly recommend the Busy Blue Bus wine tou, it was a marvellous day out.

Do yourself a favour and book onto this tour - you will be richer for the experience. From the moment our lovely tour guide Sue picked us up the whole day was fun. Sue is a local and very knowledgeable about the Mt Barker region which made for an interesting ride between four wineries. Forget steel and glass cellar doors with overpriced souvenirs - you won’t be going there. You will go to four family run vineyards in beautiful settings and you will taste a huge array of fabulous wines. Pace yourself - you won’t want to miss out by peaking too early and this is a big day of tasting for all of us wine lovers! Oh and take your credit card - you will probably come home with some great wine which Sue will happily put into the back of the bus so you have your hands free for more tastings. This is arguably the best wine tour we have ever been on and we highly recommend it,😀🍷🥂

This was such a relaxing way to sample wines from the Mt Barker wineries. We visited 4 wineries and the tour guide described points of interest along the way and then introduced us to the wine maker or representative at each of the wineries. We were given a good introduction to the particular wine making process used and each winery offered almost their entire range for sampling (although the guide advised us to keep our selection to a reasonable number at West Cape Howe wines where their selection is vast). One of the things I liked best was not having to worry about driving or directions. The whole day just unfolded in front of me. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

Great day out with Susan. Transport was clean, modern and very comfortable. The four wineries we visited ranged from small to large and were all very enjoyable and informative. Great lunch. Highly recommended.

My wife and I incorrectly booked our tour on the wrong date and for the date we wanted to go BBT did not do tours on that date. But after a phone call they arranged for us to do the tour on our required date, I.e they fitted us in regardless. The tour was great and very personalised. Sue was absolutely a great host, and we enjoyed all the venues visited, would do it again on one of the other tours when next in town.

Tour guide was really knowledgeable. Nice guy. Tour was great but 1 negative the tour itself wasn't what was stated. It said we would have a platter lunch and a winery tour. we got neither of these. Lunch was great and tasty but it was a meal not a platter and there was no winery tour either. I do understand there has been a few changes due to winerys leaving the area but I think maybe the explanation of the tour when booking needs to be changed(updated) it was still a great day though. Thoroughly enjoyed
