“Great tour! Found out about a lot of history that isn't taught in schools! Ryan was a great bloke, very friendly and knew his stuff! Would highly recommend this tour through Fremantle for tourists and locals who want to know more about the history or Fremantle and Perth. Loved the stop off at the chocolate shop!”

Meeting point

Designated meeting point (confirmed at booking)

Perth CBD or Fremantle. Exact location in your booking confirmation

Scavenger hunts, school excursions and private events start wherever suits your group: your own hotel, office or a landmark you pick. The exact spot is confirmed in your booking confirmation. If you have no preference we default to the undercover area in front of the main doors of Perth Town Hall. School excursions start where the bus can set down, usually the Cultural Centre or Bell Tower. Your guide will be waiting in a bright red shirt and will be on the lookout for you as much as you are looking for them.
