Great informative tour - Awesome tour if you are visiting Perth or even if you are from Perth. Very informative and learnt a lot. Really enjoyed this tour. The guide was fantastic with some humour thrown in. We are from Perth and never visited the Perth Mint it was well worth it.

Great Tour With A Great Tour Guide - We were wondering what to do on our final day in Perth as we had a few hours to fill before the flight back. So glad we came here. The tour was delivered by Susie, an Australian with a fantastic sense of humour who made the trip for us. You see plenty of exhibits and the trip into the melting room to see how gold bars are made is fantastic. I would go back here again should I be in Perth especially if Susie was still a tour guide here.

Highly recommend - The gold pour was excellent 👌 I loved everything about the Perth Mint. The tour started outside, in the wind. The lady had to turn off the microphone 🎤, then we couldn't hear anything.

In for a penny - Clay was a fabulous guide - humorous and informative. She made this tour. The tour enables you to see gold being poured - not something you see every day - and the jewellery is amazing. The hugs gold coin is something else with the current gold price indicating the days' value - see to believe. The current commerative token is a nice tough. Interesting way to spend an hour

An important story for WA - Who knew that this tour could be so informative and fun. Our guide told relevant stories; explained the gold mining history; the impact of this industry on Western Australia and demonstrated how to liquify pure gold and pour a gold bar; using the original techniques.

A must do tour - Fantastic tour. Our guide Madeline was very informative and funny. The highlight was the gold pour which was something to behold. This is certainly a must do if visiting Perth.

Highly recommend tour when visiting Perth Mint - The tour started outside in the courtyard where the guide provided an history of gold exploration in WA and history of Perth Mint. After that, we made our way into the building where you can see the biggest gold coin in the world (it will be lowered into a secured vault at the end of the day!!), more history via pictures, tools involved in gold mining activities and logbooks etc. After some time there, we then proceeded to the next room where you will have the opportunity to witness gold bar being melted, pour and turn into a gold bar! Towards the end you can use the blank coin received when you purchased the entrance ticket to print a souvenir coin. For kids, they'll provide a set of questions for them to circle the right answers as they go through the tour and submit them at the end of the tour to receive a 99.9% gold medal!! Highly recommended.

Gold standard tour - Paul gave a great and humorous trip around the Mint. Lots of good things to see plus a demo of gold pouring by Paul near the end - highlight of the tour. Well worth the time and money
