2 months agoI 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.

a week agoWe did the Low and Slow BBQ Food Tour with Paul last Sunday and it was amazing! Paul was a truly wonderful guide, very personable, knowledgeable, and intuitive. He changed his food orders and plans around to suit our small group and was always conscious of everyone's comfort. The tour itself was fantastic! What a great way to be tourists in our own city. A great foodie experience. Contact prior to our tour was excellent - thanks Shannon. A truly memorable day - highly recommend this terrific local company.

8 months agoHighly 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.

5 months agoEverything 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 😉
