The food tour you have to do - One of the most enjoyable food tours we have ever done. Paul, our guide, was super friendly and knowledgeable. We went to some really excellent venues and ate lots of good food. Would highly recommend (just don't have breakfast before you go!).

Fun day out - The interest in this tour was so high, we booked a private tour. It did not disappoint. Everyone had an amazing day. Locations were great with yumbolicious food and our host Paul was very friendly and accommodating. A must do tour for anyone who loves a good time and American style BBQ.

5/5 Stars from The Book Club Girls - What a fabulous day out! Our group haven't stopped talking about the Low and Slow BBQ Tour and will do so for years to come. We can't recommend our guide, Paul, highly enough. He is so knowledgeable, professional, amiable, and shared so much of the Perth unique smokehouse food scene and history with us. The tour was excellent value for money and included so much delicious food (we are on a serious diet now)!!! plus a cheeky cocktail too! This is our second tour with Up Close and Local Tours and we will definitely use them again! We rate our Low and Slow BBQ Tour 5/5 stars!

Highly recommend! - Wasn't just eating delicious bbq but also took us behind the scenes and the owners of the different restaurants got to explain the process and how they cooked their bbq and the style they use which was a great part to the tour. Paul our tour guide was fantastic and informative and just all round good lad. Would recomend BBQ tour for anyone In Perth or just visiting also recomend any other tour run by Up Close and Local Tours.

Only food you need for the day - What a great tour, Paul was so easy to talk too and was well worth the money, need to book well in advance which proves it's very popular. As Paul said, it covers Breaky, Lunch and possibly Dinner as the amount of food you eat is a lot and that's exactly what happed with our family, 100% recommend
