Hidden deTours are the merrymakers and adventure curators.
Their award-winning small bus and walking tours reveal the hidden and the different across Mandurah, the Peel region, Rockingham, Perth, Fremantle, Swan Valley and Bickley Valley.
Monique Boucher, Silver winner of Australia’s Top Tour Guide Award and recipient of the FACET Golden Guide of the Year, is the founder and Director of Merriment at Hidden deTours. Drawing on a lifetime in the performing arts, she crafts immersive experiences full of personality, creativity and flair.
Tours include going behind the scenes to smell, taste and touch the ingredients behind WA gin, whisky, wine, beer and cider; meeting passionate local producers and hearing firsthand stories that bring their craft to life; and venturing down laneways, into basements and onto rooftops to discover hidden bars and eateries.
Guests can also picnic under the stars on a sunset and stargazing tour, where the night sky comes alive through telescopes and laser-guided storytelling via silent-disco headphones. Or join Noongar guide Steven Jacob (In Culture Tours) and Monique (Hidden deTours) for a cross-cultural truth-telling tour along the Rockingham Foreshore, accompanied by musical soundscapes.
A select range of scheduled tours are available by the ticket, or gather friends, family or colleagues for bespoke private group experiences.
Venture beyond the usual—because the best stories begin with a detour.
Are you keen to explore wineries, breweries and distilleries in the Rockingham and Peel/Mandurah region?
Hidden in urban estates and in farming areas are incredible local producers making exceptional beer, cider, wine, gin and vodka.
Hidden deTours can take you right to their doorsteps to indulge and enjoy their warm country hospitality on a fun day out curated just for your private group.
You get to choose your own adventure for the day. Let Hidden deTours know if you prefer wineries, or foodie producers, or breweries, or distilleries and they will create a bespoke tour to suit.
Visit four venues over a relaxed 6.5 hour tour with a pick up and drop off from a location of your choice. Depending on your selected itinerary we can also include opportunities to go 'behind the scenes' or 'meet the maker' too.
Are you looking to explore hidden breweries beyond Perth?
The Rockingham and Peel region has a terrific array of local breweries tucked in neighbourhoods that locals often frequent for a beer or two and a great feed.
Let us be your designated driver for a chilled Sunday brewery session, as we traverse the Rockingham and Peel area on search of the best brew.
Visit three exceptional brewpubs and enjoy ample beer tastings and a delicious lunch. Breweries include: FOUND. LAB in Byford, King Road Brewing Co in Oldbury, and The Brewship in Yangebup.
Meet the beer experts as they passionately take you through guided beer tastings of their core and experimental ranges. Access areas of the brewery normally off limits to the regular punter, and learn how beer is made. Behind the scenes brewery experiences are exclusive to this beer tour only.
"The behind-the-scenes opportunities, the discussion with industry experts and the VIP treatment as a tour guest is worth its weight in gold" - Daniel Loves Beer Instagram 2024
