Walk this way!

Excellent walking tour of Perth CBD. We had a fabulous morning exploring a range of sites with our wonderful guide, Ellen. She was so enthusiastic about the city and was full of great advice about cultural spots, restaurants and bars. The 3 hours just sped by and we didn’t feel too exhausted by the end thanks to lots of rest stops. Highly recommended for those, like us, who need an introduction to Perth.

Outstanding!

What a fantastic tour! We only had a couple of hours free between meetings and booked at the last minute, but it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip to Perth. Our guide, Alex, was absolutely outstanding. She brought the city to life with fascinating stories, local insights and a genuine passion for Perth that was completely infectious. Thanks to her, we saw and appreciated so much more of the city than we ever would have on our own. Alex truly went above and beyond. Even though we were leaving the next day, she took the time to write out personalised recommendations for places to visit, eat and explore. She was incredibly patient with our endless questions and impressed us with her depth of knowledge on everything from the city’s history to its culture and hidden gems. If you’re visiting Perth and want to get a real feel for the city, I couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough. Alex was exceptional and made our limited time in Perth memorable, engaging and genuinely enjoyable.

Operator response

Thanks for taking the time to leave this amazing review - come back anytime :) Alex

Ellen was very good. We...

Ellen was very good. We learned some interesting facts about Perth and saw many nice buildings. We liked the law museum and St George’s Cathedral. Would recommend the tour especially to first time visitors to city. Also got a sense of the city.

Fascinating walking tour,...

Fascinating walking tour, our guide Ellen had just started at the beginning of the year so she was still learning, but all the good guides say that they are always learning. The tour takes about three hours and, contrary to expectations doesn’t involve a lot of walking, about three to four kilometres. Ellen is passionate about her city and is great fun and I can thoroughly recommend this tour.

Operator response

Oh Heyy Geoff! Thank you for this excellent review of our Discover Perth Walking Tour and our delightful Ellen. We're stoked you had such a great experience.

Perth - the city of spaces

Loved this - Ellen was so full of energy and an endless source of information about a city she clearly loves. There was so much to see it didn't feel we actually walked that far, but the coffee break was welcome anyway. The group size was quite small, a big bonus as we got lots of time for questions and it was really friendly. A very special shout out for Ellen, who went well above and beyond and generously answered all my questions about what coming to live in Perth would be like, after the tour had officially ended! 10/10 - would recommend.

Operator response

Very nice experience

We had booked a tour through our tour organizer and were the only ones on the tour to our surprise and were also so lucky to get Ellen as our guide on the 3 hour long tour she told us a lot about the city and its history and led us to really great places and showed us that she does the job out of love.Thank you Ellen for the great tour. AGAIN AT ANY TIME
