Every journey becomes an unforgettable adventure through time, culture,

What a great day! Cannot fault Good as Gold Tours

Good as Gold Tours customised a private day tour for us that met our specific travel requirements perfectly. Allison provided a very professional and considerate service which left us elated to have achieved the things we set out to do in Kalgoorlie and beyond. We learned much more than we would have done on our own, and Allison’s insights into the history of the area and the preparation work she put in beforehand to ensure we had a successful tour were evident. I highly recommend using Good as Gold Tours for a well-planned, interesting and rewarding way to explore this fascinating part of the country.

The best way to explore Kalgoorlie and the goldfields

We travelled to Kalgoorlie in a group of 5 to spend four days exploring Kalgoorlie and it’s surrounds.
Rather than driving around we opted to utilise the services of Alison and have a guided tour. We had a fabulous time and with Alison’s assistance and knowledge we visited many of the iconic locations in Kalgoorlie/Boulder and learnt so much about the current activities and the history of the area. Lunch at the Broad Arrow Hotel was great and the visit the Mine Museum and the Two up were fabulous.
Thank you Alison for your company and for making our visit a fantastic experience
