We had a great time on our private day tour. Although the spring wildflowers were not yet in full bloom and the weather was rainy, we were still able to see beautiful and rare wildflowers thanks to Peter. We also saw wild animals and birds, and explored both the historic and modern sides of Perth city. Peter was very flexible and kindly accommodated our other requests. We also enjoyed lunch at the 96-year-old hotel. It was a unique experience, and the food was delicious. Thank you, Peter, for a great tour.

Itinerary
Kings Park is only one of a number of our Wildflower Tour options depending on the season. The park offers colour throughout the year but is at its peak in Spring from August - November. There are also a large number of awesome kids nature play areas which are guaranteed to keep kids of all ages amused. When it comes to my Wildflower Tours this is just one location option depending on your time and what you want to see. I offer fully customizable day road trips into the country so please contact me to discuss your ideas and Id be happy to put together an itinerary just for you.
Araluen Botanic Park is famous for its massive tulip displays in late spring (Aug-Sept). Hundreds of other varieties flower all year round so there is always colour in the 60 hectare property. The Park is located about 35 minutes drive from Perth City in the Darling Range. In addition to this location, we also tour through little hamlet towns and forested valleys and wineries in the Darling Range.The Bickley Valley & Kalamunda offer excellent lunch opportunities.
Busy country town, lunch stop, several pubs, cafes, kooky shops, heritage sites, flowers.
Beautiful Scenic drives through valleys and cattle country. Rivers, streams, creeks and nature Trails. Only included in the road trip option.

Very enjoyable and informative
I highly recommend Perth Tiny Tour especially if you have just few days in Perth and would like to explore Perth more than just the city. I did the wildflower tour and I had a great time. Western Australia wildflowers in spring is one of a kind in the world and Peter, the tour guide, would know exactly how to find them. He would enthusiastically give you information about the flowers that you see (also insist that you take good photos of them..haha) and show you some other unique plants in the area. Along the way of wildflower hunting, you could enjoy some breathtaking view of Perth from Perth Hills area, get to see quaint little towns about 1.5 hour outside Perth and all year round Christmas shop was the added bonus. Peter is a great tour guide and I had plenty of great conversation with him which made the tour even more enjoyable. This is one tour that worth spending bit more because it would be so worth it.
Absolutely superb day - Peter took us to see wildflowers in their natural setting - such care and preparation made for a wonderful day. Despite 'going bush' and off the track I felt perfectly safe with my walker because Peter ensured I was stable and helped me over surfaces which were not sealed. The places we visited were great fun and we would never have found them by ourselves. Peter has a great sense of humour - we laughed all day. His knowledge and commentary was exemplary - really interesting and made the day just perfect. He was prepared for everything. Highly recommended!
I cannot recommend Peter and his Tiny Tours enough! My mum and I enjoyed a three day tour discovering the most incredible wild flowers in and around Perth, and into the West Australian countryside. Peter had planned everything so well, yet he was flexible and continually checked to see that we were happy. He is a very safe driver, making our journeys comfortable and relaxed. Peter tells some great stories but equally enjoyed listening to ours; he and Mum learnt a lot from each other about native plants. His passion for showing people the best of WA shines through. We have returned home with enough photos and stories to fill volumes, having had a time of awe and wonder.
The 3 day wildflower tour with Perth Tiny Tours was a truly delightful and wonderful way to explore this part of the country. Peter is an excellent, safe and professional driver who was a pleasure to travel with. His wildflower knowledge was very good and he knew exactly where to find the best flowers. An added bonus was visiting some gorgeous churches and enjoying their fascinating history. Peter was engaging, funny, flexible and kind, making sure I got to and from dinner safely each night. He was attentive and forward thinking. His knowledge of this beautiful corner of WA is astounding and his love and passion shines through. I have no hesitation recommending this tour. Thankyou Peter, I'll be back.
Feel so fortunate to have found Peter and his Perths Tiny Tours, my 91yr old mum and her friend in her 80's were so well looked after and from the moment of my first interaction with Peter I felt they would be in good hands. He was relaxed in a way that gave me confidence they were in good hands and would have the best possible experience - which they did. Be it a slightly later pick-up to accommodate their needs, checking the day prior as to any aids they may need to bring, to ensuring they captured moments and wildflowers even when they felt less able to do so, Peter ensured they had photographs wildflowers they saw from the car too. I highly recommend Peter's services, mum is coming home with some amazing memories and such a treat for someone who has been an avid Gardner all her life - thank you Peter for making the difference.
Peter was an excellent and patient guide. I only expected a wildflower tour of the areas around Perth, but he also gave me a tour of the city, pointing out sites of interest tacked on with bits of history. We traveled backroads that led to flower sightings that only a knowledgeable local would know where to investigate. Although Peter said that the wildflower season had peaked three weeks ago, I still came away satisfied with what he showed me. I can only imagine how much more wonderful the wildflower displays would look like had I come a month earlier! Any trip you contemplate to Perth must include a tour with Peter.
Twice towards the end of the last month, my wife and I (both in our mid-70s) had the good fortune to sample deep expertise, fantastic place-finding skills and radiant company of our driver-cum-cicerone-cum nearly a friend, Peter Cope, a local West Aussie, the founder of remarkable PERTHS TINY TOURS. We found him to be a great and most graceful aficionado of WA's spring flora (25 Sep 2023, Country Wild Flowers Road Trip) and, on the 27th Sep, of the Indian Ocean's windy beaches and sun desiccated Pinnacles Desert. The first tour took 2hrs of driving some 200 kms east of Perth, towards Corrigin in the WA's Wheat Belt. The second one took 2hrs of driving some 200 kms north of Perth, along a picturesque coastal road, towards culinary (think lobsters!, think prawns!) haven (heaven?) of Cervantes and the nearby stunning Nambung National Park (think Obelix! think Asterix! think thousands of their mysterious upright megaliths!). We were blessed travellers indeed. Peter is a perfect, relaxed and skilled driver; a dependable, resourceful and cheerful companion as well as solidly informed and endlessly intriguing, thoughtful guide. We would dearly love to visit Perth again and go with Peter for more of his day-long happy, fascinating and sunny drives across stunning WA countryside. Our two experiences were addictive - Matthew & Irena, Melbourne, VIC.
We had a fabulous day with Peter. He was generous with his time and knew the best spots to see an abundance of different varieties. I'd highly recommend Peter for his knowledge, willingness to provide options, and professionalism. Great tour, thanks Peter!!
After wanting to see the wildflowers for many years, I was fortunate enough to spend 2 days with Peter going to different regions. His vast knowledge of the area meant we found some incredibly beautiful and diverse flowers that blew me away. Peter was extremely organised,really friendly and easy to get along with. He went out of his way to customise the tours specifically for me and to ensure I had the best possible experience. I was astounded by his knowledge of the history of Perth and surrounds and thoroughly enjoyed his stories. Thanks so much Peter for making my experience so enjoyable and memorable. I would definitely recommend Peter’s Tiny Tours to anyone wanting an awesome, customised tour.
We spent 4 days with Peter Rambling through natural bushland finding beautiful wild flowers enhanced by Peters extensive knowledge of all species. On the way to Margaret River to sample “world class” wines,we passed through cute and interesting towns about which Pete knew all the focal points. Off to the phenomenon of “Wave Rock” which we enjoyed climbing over and had the obligatory “ surfing photo opp” Pinnacle Day via New Norsica, (such an interesting and amazing history of that area.) Whilst at the Pinnacles we were caught in a sudden torrential wind/rain storm, which was exhilarating and beyond Pete’s control, but such fun. We found his passion and love of Perth and surrounds contagious. His driving was careful and courteous. He went out of his way to ensure that each day was filled with laughter and joy. A holiday we will treasure always, and would highly recommend
Great personalised wildflower tour ending with a wine tasting. Very comfortable car. Peter adapted the day to suit us.Great day
Thank you Peter for a great day discovering wildflowers with a winery visit to finish off the day. Thank you also for the great suggestions for the rest if our stay in Perth
Seeing the wildflowers was on the bucket list for my elderly mother (though still very young at heart) who flew in from Japan. Peter's experience and thoughtfulness took us to locations that only someone so knowledgeable understands. We saw many variety of clusters in bloom, and at a pace that was just right for her. Thanks for the wonderful stories and memories.. Peter Tiny Tours is like no other!
Wow! I had such a great day. Peter knows the best places, is very well prepared, has excellent knowledge on the wild flowers. He especially showed me some beautiful native orchids. So interesting. And, he is a great guy, has many stories and is an excellent organizer. It was a fantastic day.
Booked this tour for my parents and her friends who were keen to see the wildflowers. Wanted a private more relaxed tour to be able to appreciate and see much of the flowers. Perth Tiny tours delivered and more! What sets this tour apart is Peter and his vast knowledge of Perth, its surrounds and flowers. Peter ensured the day was filled with excitement, surprises with enough time to stop for meals, breaks and shop. Magically, even with a full itinerary, nothing felt rushed. Can't wait to do another tour with Peter!
Peter Cope made sure he took us to all the places within reach that we could see as an extensive variety as possible. He was very personable and eager to respond to any requests we had. After seeing wildflowers growing in Kings Park the day before it was a treat to see them in their natural habitat. Of course a whole day enabled us to see little towns and countryside along the route.
Epic, outstanding, amazing, really friendly, awesome super chilled guy made our day so worthwhile. It’s been the highlight of our trip so far. Couldn’t recommend more highly, it’s been an extremely memorable day!
