Full description
Join a day of exploring the world heritage listed Guildford town, discover wine and cheese at Swan Valley, and enjoy a 2-hour river cruise back to Perth with complimentary tea, cake, a glass of wine, and live entertainment. Depart from Perth at 9:45 AM and start your day with guided coach tour to the world heritage listed Guildford Town, which is located 25 minutes away from the city.
The coach arrives at Stirling Square where you have 2 hours of free time to explore the fascinating Guildford town at your leisure. The highlights of the town include antique shops of James St, the convict past at the Old Guildford Gaol and Courthouse, and the handiwork of the talented artisans at The Potters Guild. Enjoy lunch, at your own expense, with plenty of charming options around, from the French-style garden café behind the historic Post Office to a pub meal at WA’s oldest hotel, the Rose & Crown Hotel.
At 12:20 PM, get ready for an afternoon tour heading towards the beautiful Swan Valley to enjoy an afternoon of sampling the many delights the region has to offer. Visit 2 wineries for full wine tastings and enjoy a cheeseboard at 1 of them. Visit the famous Margaret River Chocolate Company, located in the Swan Valley, and indulge yourself with a handmade chocolate truffle. Right next door at The Providore, you may sample more treats like jams, relishes, olive oils, and their amazing chocolate liqueur.
To top off your experience, take a 2-hour cruise back to Perth on the beautiful Swan River. Be spoilt with an afternoon tea of coffee/tea and cake, followed by local wine by the glass and live entertainment. Return at approximately 5:00 PM to Barrack St Jetty after an unforgettable day.
