Great tour for anyone - Meeting new people and learning about our local wine region. Driver provided a wonderful history and facts along the way.

Highly recommend - We definitely could not fault our Day trip. Everything from the moment we arrived at the boat to our last stop at the Brewery was very professional.
Peter our driver was so engaging with everyone and went out of his way to look after our whole group at each and every venue including his great choice of music for our bus.
I'm not sure of the other drivers name of our group maybe Michael. He was always keeping an eye on us all and looked after us fantastic even if we weren't on his bus.
As a large group we couldn't have been more satisfied and happy with both the lovely gentlemen who took care of us today.
We would highly recommend Swan Valley Tours to others.
Thanks again guys. A bloody great enjoyable day.

Great first experience - Great first experience of a wine tour. Super convenient with the bus stopping right at the cellar doors. Probably better spaced on the first leg; after lunch the tour felt a bit rushed with less time to sip between tastings. “Clydesdale Keith” our bus driver was great value!

Swan Valley wine & beer experience - The 3 wineries were fabulous, friendly & knowledgeable. The brewery was the same, all provided food with tastings.
The chocolate factory could have been left off, as offered nothing to experience.

Great fun - Actually worth doing. Get to try different wines and beers and the chocolate shop at the end completes the trip. Bus driver was great and informative as well.

Very enjoyable - The half-day tour didn't start well as the bus missed picking us up in Guildford (we were at the appointed spot in good time) and by the time this was rectified we were already behind the rest of the tour at the first stop. However, we caught up the the tastings and really enjoyed the 3 contrasting vineyards we visited; one large, one smaller and one more rustic but all with some interesting and varied wines. Chatting to the staff in each venue was wonderful, as their passion for the products shone through. The supply of wines was plentiful with food accompaniments being offered also. The brewery and its beer was OK, but it would have been better to have seen the brewery itself not just a bar area. The chocolate stop was a bit pointless and some of the other guest spent their time in the distillery next door, which would have added value to the trip which was $90 per person and just about worth it. A really enjoyable afternoon was had though.

Fine tour but not a proper vineyard tour - This tour is more of a drinking tour than an actual wine tour. I definitely expected to be shown around at the wineries, get more history, and a look into their wine making process. The brewery was pointless. The first and last winery tried... But as it is more of a drinking tour, it seemed that Australians used to tour just to get drunk, and it therefore seemed pointless for the wine experts to talk about the wine. People were loud and paid minimal attention. It was great to see Swan Valley, but if you're a wine enthusiast, this may not live up to your expectations.

Won't Recommend to Friends - Bus tour and Keith was wonderful he made our day. He was helpful and full of knowledge he made the day he deserves the 5 stars.
The tour itself wasn't as fun as we thought it would be. The first and Second stop was great, but after lunch it changed and was of an experience I want again.
Windy Creek the lady was rude and very bossy she kept yelling at everyone treating adults like children. We had to try 16 wines very very very quikly. it felt like shot glasses was lined up and we drank them right after the other literally. We couldn't enjoy the moment or the wine after a while it just all tasted the same and was forcing the wine down. then being screamed at as well.
The stop after windy Creek was quite and couldn't quite hear the story and what was offered. The toilets didn't even lock and felt a little unsafe/uncomfortable.
The last stop at the chocolate factory lovely little place but was disappointed it wasn't the margaret river Chocolate factory.
