    Fun and interesting

    Great tour to do . It was interesting to learn all about gold and the manufacturing of it. Our guide Sophie had a good sense of humour.

    An interesting and informative 'golden' experience!

    Our guide Dakota gave a very interesting and informative commentary, covering topics such as the Gold Rush and the history of the Mint. We then saw the one tonne gold coin and displays of gold nuggets, before Dakota demonstrated a gold pour. Afterwards there was time to wxplore other gold and coin displays. Definitely worth the time to take this tour!

    The Perth Mint Gold Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.

    How much does The Perth Mint Gold Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $19 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Perth usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does The Perth Mint Gold Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Perth is not rushed.

    Is The Perth Mint Gold Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 662 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Perth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The Perth Mint Gold Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is The Perth Mint Gold Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Perth Mint Gold Tour?

    +

    Around 232 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Perth can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Perth and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Perth Mint Gold Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Perth within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Perth?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Perth experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Optus Stadium Tour, Discover Perth Walking Tour: History, Art, Local Insights + More!, Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Perth?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Perth?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in The Perth Mint Gold Tour?

    +

    Included: Tour guide. Not included: Food and drinks, unless specified; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Transportation to/from attractions. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for The Perth Mint Gold Tour?

    +

    The experience starts at The Perth Mint, 310 Hay St, Perth, Western Australia, 6004, Australia. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is The Perth Mint Gold Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Korean, Japanese, English, Chinese, Italian and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The Perth Mint Gold Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is The Perth Mint Gold Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Transportation options are wheelchair accessible; and All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to The Perth Mint Gold Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
