My sister and I were the only 2 on the tour so we were treated to a personalised and informative tour. Leanne, our guide, was very friendly and she pointed out lots of things that we may have missed if we had been walking around by ourselves. Our tour lasted 2.5 hours and we came away feeling we had learnt a lot about the history of Perth. Leanne also suggested places to go to after our tour.
Ryan was full of information, present day Perth and the history of Perth. We saw little alleys and back streets which we would certainly have missed walking on our own. A very good couple of hours.
A good tour but it needs some rearranging. This was a good tour and the guide was very informative. I have given this 4 stars because of the coffee stop. About 10 minutes after the tour started we stopped for coffee. The guide took our order and we waited around for about 15 minutes for them to be prepared. When the last coffee was delivered we were up on our feet again. It was hard to walk and drink coffee at the same time so I binned it. I suggest that the coffee stop be at the end of the tour or in the middle or just do not include it at all.
Ryan was not only friendly with a good sense humour, he was extremely knowledgeable of Perth city centre. We were treated to one of the best coffees I've ever had at Moana's and yummy chocolate at Nosh. It's amazing what beautiful city we live in. I came away from the tour informed and motivated to know more about our city.
Great way to experience Perth for a first time visitor. Ryan our guide provided a running commentary of the history of Perth and hidden gems. Can thoroughly recommend.
Highly recommend this tour of the city. Tour guide very friendly passionate and knowledgeable of the city and history of people and buildings. I enjoyed the time wandering and gaining a more wider view of the historical aspects of Perth in Australian history.
