Swan Valley River Cruise and Wine Tasting Day Trip from Perth

Entertained by other guests on the tour. Every one was out to have a great time. The service was great

Very good tour, a bit fast paced, all the activities were not clear before starting. Highly recommended

Quiet cruise down the Swan while tasting wine, complimented by a cheese board. Beautiful lunch at the homestead brewery. Over dose of wine, cheese and chocolate before finishing with a craft beer. Great day out. Don't eat breakfast

I enjoyed the boat most of all as a very nice way to see the sights on either side of the swan river while enjoying cheese and wine. The Hostesses worked very hard to keep everyone happy.

Great wine, weather, food and company. Sooooo much food, don't eat breakfast. Your guides were friendly and knowledgeable.

The Boat trip was peaceful and the commentating informative and interesting. Friendly staff. Thank you for a lovely day.

Your was well organised. Plenty to eat & drink & the cruise was relaxing with good commentary. The three wineries we’re also excellent tasting. The brewery was good also with a refreshing beer at the end of the day. Keith our driver was very nice & helpful.

Was a bit seedy from the night before so was a bit reluctant to go, however it started of slow but ended up having a great time. The cruise down the river was great nice and relaxing lovely staff we had wine and a cheese board. Then onto the bus first stop lunch then stopped at about 4 wineries and a chocolate factory ended the day at a brewery it’s along day but a good day. Gets quite rowdy at then of the trip lolz was so much fun.

Fantastic Day and the staff were first class. We will do another tour shortly very impressed. Next will be the river cruise.

Totally enjoyed the cruise up-river, morning tea and cheese/wine tastings. Staff for both legs of the trip were absolutely incredible. HOWEVER - The sausage in my spicy sausage pasta was almost raw (very red) and there would have been insufficient time to send them back as you run on a tight schedule. We went to two wineries which each had their own problems. The first one was very hot as the fans were not working and we were not allowed in the air-conditioned area. The second one's amenities were disgusting, being attached to an old house. You couldn't swing a cat, never mind a rat (which I wouldn't have been surprised to see) in the toilet and then you had to use the laundry to wash your hands. The tub was full of jugs of some type of liquid, no soap and no hand-drying. I was glad we had no overseas visitors as it would have been very embarassing for them to consider this as standard Australian offerings. Both wineries offered cheese and biscuits, but three times in one day is a bit much. We then went onto a brewery which supplied plates of hot chips per group of 4, which was nice but a bit off-putting after the lack of sanitation at the winery. There are many wineries of very high standards in the Swan Valley, and I appreciate you wanting to support smaller family businesses, but you must assure they are meeting a reasonable standard. As always, the chocolate factory was a delight! We thought we had booked for the full trip including lunch at Sandalfords, but were told this was not the case. On review I can see where we went wrong, however when we called your office to discuss this at approx 10 am on Thursday 31 Dec there was no response. Via your site we could have upgraded for $30 per head, however Captain Cook wanted to charge us $60 per head which we felt was a bit much. Even if paying an extra $30 per head this would have been a much better option as it included desert and free glasses of wine on the return trip (which we had done before).
