Wonderful tour The VIP Swan Valley tour was wonderful . We could not fault the day. Tim had amazing knowledge of Perth and the Swan Valley as well as each of the 4 wineries we visited. Each of the wineries we visited were lovely and it was great to go to the smaller wineries - as you truly get to see the love the wine makers have for what they do. The cheese board and lunch could not be faulted.The chocolate and Providore stop was well worth the visit. Thanks Tim - hopefully we can do another one of your tours when we next visit Perth

A must-do in Swan Valley - Tim does not disappoint This was such a fantastic experience, would recommend to anyone visiting Perth!We booked this tour after reading all the glowing reviews for Tim on Tripadvisor, and we were not disappointed. Each winery we visited felt welcoming and had something different to offer. We were able to discover some new favourite wineries, which is always a bonus from doing a wine tour. We did some wine tours in Margaret River, and actually found that we preferred the wines produced in Swan Valley. The bus was comfortable, clean, and there was room to pick up a bottle or two as the day progressed.Thanks Tim for organising a great day!

A laid back taste of one aspect of the Swan Valley. The tour started spot on time and Tim, our guide, welcomed us like long lost friends. In fact it wasn't long before we felt like we had known him for years. We visited 4 craft breweries, all different in their own way and all with a varied selection of beers and some ciders. There didn't seem to be any time pressure at all and the tour was very relaxed, plenty of time to savour all the beers available. We had a very enjoyable lunch at the second brewery, in pleasant surroundings, complimented by the beer. Tim always made sure we well looked after. A most enjoyable, relaxed and enlightening (the range of beers was impressive) tour that we would recommend wholeheartedly to anyone keen on craft beers. Well done Tim.

A must if you'd like to sample local wines with a small group and a friendly, knowledgeable guide. We've just returned from our tour and can thoroughly recommend it. Tim is a very engaging and knowledgeable guide who kept us fully informed of where we were going and what we would be tasting at each stop. We were very lucky to travel with a lovely group and this certainly added to the joy of the experience. The selected wineries gave a different range of wines to try and lunch was delicious at our second stop. Finishing off at the chocolate factory added a sweet ending to the day before the trip back to our hotel. As the wineries are so close to the city, you don't have a long journey back at the end and even though the group were great fun, it's nice to be back in the hotel within the hour. All in all, a highly recommended tour for anyone who'd like to try the wines from the region.

Great way to spend a day We were collected from our hotel at the exact time stipulated. Tim, our host was very friendly and knowledgeable and after a few more stops we were ready to go. We had just 11 in our group and everyone was chatty and easy to get on with. The vineyards that we visited were all amazing and were very welcoming and shared their stories of how they started and the lengths they go to to produce top quality wines. Following a visit to a chocolatier we were dropped back at our hotel. We aren’t wine experts by any means but the day was fun, interesting and great value for money. Would highly recommend this trip.

Excellent experience with vineyards 4 vineyards visited in one day was just perfect for tourists wanting to get most of their time ! Also meeting new people at lunch was wonderful as the tour was so multicultural !
