Swan Valley tours

Swan Valley is such a beautiful place to slow down, enjoy the vineyard views, taste some good wine, and simply enjoy the moment.

Although we visited many places in one day, and I understand that everyone has different preferences and we couldn't always stay longer at places I liked, I was mostly satisfied with the itinerary. The hotel pickup and drop-off were very convenient, and lunch was delicious and well-located. We happened to encounter a storm, the likes of which Southwest Australia sees only once every five years, and the car felt like it was swaying on the highway. Fortunately, our tour guide, Cindy, was very experienced and completed the entire trip smoothly!

I took a cruise, chatted with people, drank some wine, and then went to a winery where I listened intently to explanations and drank a lot of wine. It would be great for wine lovers, and I really enjoyed having plenty of time.

The tour started at Pier 3 at Barrack Square, where the pickup for the cruise was punctual and well organised. The cruise itself was a lovely way to begin the day, with interesting commentary along the way. We were welcomed with a delicious glass of champagne, followed by three glasses of wine, as well as onboard lunch. We arrived at Mandoon Jetty at around 12.45pm, where we joined the bus tour for the afternoon. Our first stop was Windy Creek Estate, and wow, there were a lot of wines to taste! I counted easily around 15 different glasses of wine if you were game enough to try every single one. Next was Garbin Estate Wines, where, haha, there were another 10 or so wines available for tasting. After all that wine, we headed to Swan Valley Brewery for some beer and chips, which was a nice change of pace. Our final stop was the nearby Whistler's Chocolate Company & Cafe. We got back on the bus and returned to the city at around 5pm.

Family with two young kids, great experience on the tour with a fantastic tour guide! thank you!

We joined this local tour as a family of three and had a fantastic experience. The whole trip was very well organised and ran smoothly from start to finish. We visited the wildlife park and had the chance to feed the animals without needing to queue, which made the experience very relaxed and enjoyable. Lunch was fish and chips, which was nice, but we strongly recommend upgrading to the lobster as it was very fresh and definitely worth it. We also visited the desert, enjoyed an exciting off-road desert vehicle ride, and tried sandboarding. Everything was arranged very well, and the activities were fun and smooth. Overall, our family had a wonderful time. The tour was eye-opening, memorable, and gave us a great chance to experience the local scenery and activities. It was excellent value for money, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Mr. Dominic was a great tour guide and really enjoyed whole tour! The best tour ever!

Tim picked us up at Barrack Square Jetty Pier No 4 - which was clearly informed and fairly on time. The van was comfortable. He also provided bottled water. Loved the fact that Tim had worked in Caversham Wildlife Park before that the entire trip within was on spot on time and well prepared (hint: a bag of food pellets to feed the kangaroos and other animals). We had our lunch at Mandoon Estate where we opted for vegetarian food. Food was served quick and hot and delicious. Next we continued our journey to Margaret River Chocolate Company - Tim gave us some chocolates for free tasting, bought some as souvenirs. Later we were visited the Scarborough Beach which was amazing as the weather was very good as well. And we end our trip to Kings Park, stroll around, took a few memorable pics. Overall, this kinda group tour is expected to be a bit rushed, but served our objectives for the day.
