An informative morning walk
Our guide for the day was Breanna , who was very bubbly , interactive and informative . Although we have lived in Perth for 20years , we did not know much of the history , so that was wonderful . Also enjoyed her pointing out the various street art and a little info of the artist . All in all , a very nice morning . However , i don't feel it is worth the $65 .

Best tour for introduction to Fremantle
This tour was just excellent!! Vaughan was so knowledgable and gave us a really comprehensive introduction to the history and culture of Fremantle. He recommended some of the museums for our stay and we did enjoy these, more so having been given the context on this tour for what we were seeing. I would definitely recommend this tour at the start of your visit to Fremantle.
