Up Close and Local Tours

A trip to Margaret River has so much to offer - yet everyone is very different in how they want to experience the region.

A tour with Up Close & Local Tours allows travellers to make the most of their time, no matter how short, and easily include a trip to this world-famous region on their visit to Perth. With an itinerary customised to suit individual tastes, guests can enjoy a personal guided experience uncovering the hidden gems and tasting the very best that the South West has to offer.

Private tours are extremely flexible and Up Close & Local Tours offers a range of itinerary options that enable the experience to be tailored to perfectly suit each guests' tastes and interests; whether it be exploring the sights of the coast and forest, wine tasting, vineyard tours, sampling local produce, enjoying a decadent long lunch, or experiencing a little bit of everything.

Travellers can go at their own pace rather than rushing from one place to the next, with Up Close & Local handling all the planning, booking, and navigating, allowing guests to relax and be guided through the best of the region.
