I have now done two fantastic private tours of the Swan Valley with Shannon and I 100% recommend booking with Up Close and Local if you are in Perth. We visited great wineries on both occasions and Shannon was very happy to customise the tour depending on what we were interested in (eg particular types of wine or a gin distillery). She was very accommodating in making stops if we wanted to buy bottles from a winery we had visited earlier, or visit the chocolate shop. A great day out.

Great itineraries, meals and restaurants recommended by Paul and Shannon of Up Close and Local Tours. Very nice, friendly, caring, patience, professional and knowledgeable guides, very well recommended to all who wish to visit Perth and to engage their services.

Everything was perfect - from the first email through the preparation to the last minute of the trip. Our wine testing trip was perfectly suited to our needs, wineries were delightful and we had opportunity to spend just enough time in each location. Shannon and Paul - thank you for making our day so beautiful! Se you soon in WA 😉

Highly recommend. Advised what activities we were interested in around Perth and the itinerary was developed based on the time we had with great suggestions from Shannon. Comfortable transport, knowledgeable and friendly guide Paul made it a special couple of days. Only wish they did even more tours in WA and other states.

Our group of four decided to celebrate our last day of our NT/WA holiday with a half day Swan Valley tour. It was a tremendously successful decision. It was a great way to finish our holiday and to enjoy Swan Valley, some lovely wines, boutique beers and see the area in general. Shannon looked after us and she was so spot on with her knowledge of the area, very good wine knowledge and just being so willing to ensure that we had a great day out. Plus, she’s very nice and has a great sense of humour. I definitely recommend this tour. It was so enjoyable.
