Not being from WA, we really had no idea where or how to start exploring, so decided on the half day speed grazing tour. This was perfect for my husband and I, as he is a non drinker and loves food. What a perfect way to be introduced to WA and the Swan Valley region. Loris was friendly and very... More

We had a lovely afternoon with friends and what a surprise. Being from Perth we tend not to explore what our lovely city has to offer and we were delighted to experience many wonderful place and attractions. Loris was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the history and allowed us to experience many places in a short amount of time.... More

Loris had such vast knowledge of Perth and the Swan Valley and was so passionate about the area you couldn't help... More

What a wonderful variety of foods and drinks to experience. The tour was perfect; a small, relaxed group with an excellent host. Loris has really created a unique tour. Highlights included- Warm lavender scones, an enthusiastic and informative coffee sampling (I don't even drink coffee and it was still great) and having our guide take our photos as we went.... More

An experience to be recommended and have already passed on to others visiting the region.. Picked up and returned from accommodation, important when you have no transport. Taken to tastings that I would have never thought available, coffee, hot lavender drink, nougat, boutique beer and cider, nuts, honey and given lots of information from the local producer. Loris fantastic hostess... More
