Worth your weight in GOLD! - The moment I stepped in with my husband I was welcomed by a lovely receptionist Giulia who was very accommodating with helping me purchase the correct tour. She steered me in the right direction of the tour that just started. David, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative. He didn't rush the group and gave us enough time to take photos. I would highly recommend this tour of anyone is visiting Perth

A silver medal for this gold centre - "Tour" is not entirely the right word to describe the Perth Mint experience, but it's an interesting and engaging activity nonetheless. Much of the time is spent freely perusing the exhibition, which is far more enjoyable than being shepherded around the small space as a group. Our guide, Maddie, did a terrific job of introducing the tour, providing the history and psyching up the group for the gold pour. Guests seemed to particularly enjoy the "weight in gold" exhibit and the opportunity to press your own souvenir coin. I also liked the Argyle pink diamond centre, even if my bank account did not. My only criticism of the venue is that it is somewhat lacking in facilities. There are two toilets at the gate, rather than in the building (with disabled facilities available elsewhere) and there is no café. This part of Perth seemingly has a dearth of cafés open on a Sunday, so the chance to buy a drink and sit somewhere would be a welcome addition. All in all, the Perth Mint tour is a unique and informative way to pass an hour or two - just make sure you bring your own refreshments as needed.
