Fremantle is Perth's hip and historical cousin, its streets packed full of heritage buildings, cafés, street art and amazing stories waiting to be shared. On this two-hour guided walking tour you start at the Fremantle Visitor Centre at Walyalup Koort and explore "Freo" with a friendly professional local guide. This is no boring history lesson: you take a non-traditional route and hear factual, anecdotal and downright fascinating local stories of jailbreaks, maritime heroes and pioneers, and learn about the colonial era that shaped the port city. Wander past the vibrant cappuccino strip, the boat harbour and the narrow West End streets, and capture landmarks such as Fremantle Prison and the Roundhouse, the oldest building in the region, on your camera. Along the way you discover the street art that colours Fremantle's heritage streetscapes. The tour is suitable for the whole family and is an easy way to get to know the city up close in a single morning.
