We were an international group of ten, and Tim showed great enthusiasm and knowledge of the art of wine making and the history of the Swan Valley. He chose 3 small boutique wineries with historical routes in this valley .We had a delicious lunch at a fourth winery and a visit to a chocolate factory. Tim truly deserves a 5 star rating.!!Written 15 February 2024

Fantastic small tour, one of the best I have been on. Tim was superb as our host and driver, being both very knowledgeable and personable. With only 6 of us on our tour it reminded me how good small tours are for wine and foodie experiences. The 3 wineries we visited had a wide range of wines to taste and the people were passionate about their wines and very friendly. We also had a really great lunch at Core Cider restaurant, along with the cider tasting. Bickley Valley, with its boutique vineyards, is so different to Swan Valley and Margaret River. It's not as well known, but well worth it, with a number of different wines only available at the vineyards. I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to try some different wines and enjoy an extremely good day out.

We were wanting a surprise wine tour for my dads 60th birthday and Tim certainly delivered! He was very organised and so prompt at responding to emails and phone calls. We left it entirely up to him and he did a great job at choosing venues for us. The day ran smoothly and we had such a fantastic time. I would highly recommend Tim at best of Perth tours, can’t wait to do it again sometime. Thank you again.

Hi Cassey thank you so much for the wonderful review and for organising your Dad's 60th birthday tour with me to the Bickley Valley wine region - you were honestly such a wonderful group of people to spend the day with (making me feel like I was a part of the family) and I am truly glad to hear that the tour met and exceeded your expectations! It was great to get to know you all throughout the day and to help you discover some new boutique wineries and cider houses in the Bickley Valley region that you loved! Thanks so much to you personally Cassey for organising the tour on behalf of Graeme and the family and hopefully he is left with some terrific memories from his big milestone celebration. All the very best to you and everyone in the family (as well as organising your wedding at the end of the year) and I would certainly love the opportunity to take you all on the tour again in the future!

Excellent tour by Tim
Took in three wineries where we met the owners wife and the owner/blender.
Great commentary without being intrusive.
Catered for our needs and the mini bus was big enough to hold all the wine we came away with.
Would we go again.. Yes.
Discover Bickley Valley if you want a change from the “big boys” in Swan and Margaret River.
Only thing missing was a Chocolate Factory :-)

Hi Steve thanks so much for the great feedback! It was an absolute pleasure spending the day with yourself and wife Kellie to celebrate Valentine's Day in the Bickley Valley region and so great to be able to introduce you the best boutique wineries and cider houses the region has to offer. I hope you enjoy all the wine you purchased when you decide to open them and they bring back some great memories from the tour. Thanks again for coming on the tour and for being such great company and look forward to taking you both on tour again in the future!

We joined 5 others in the tour with Tim as our tour guide. Tim has been terrific, picking us from our hotel on time. We were the only foreigners in the group and he made us feel very much part of the group. We don't usually drink wine and Tim was great at explaining the wine making process. We've been to a total of 3 wineries + Core Cider. Have never tasted so much wine in my life! Thanks very much Tim and keep up the good work!

The tour was excellent, Tim really knows the area and has a good wine knowledge as well.
Tim was just so friendly & easy to get along with.
The day was the perfect length for me, it didn't feel rushed at all & each winery was ready for us.
I would definitely recommend this tour & will be bringing of my overseas visitors.
