Program details

Come and join us for the most comprehensive guided historical tour in Perth. Western Australia is an enormous state that takes up a third of the country – and Perth is its booming capital. Originally not of any interest to the British, it was only when French and Dutch explorers started sniffing around that the English decided there should be a colony in the West of Australia.



This tour focuses on the arcades and laneways of the city and you will you'll hear many fascinating stories from the people who know best - the locals!



Discover the hidden gems and the evolving bar scene on this information-packed walking tour through the heart of Perth's lesser known streetscapes with a friendly 'Sandgroper' as your guide. The arcades and laneways provide interesting routes to navigate through the city centre as well as great spots to check out hip and happening events and the proliferation of street art.



Together with your guide, you will explore the modern day secret locations of the Central Business District as well as new developments including the Bell Tower, Elizabeth Quay and Yagan Square.

To really get know the city, you’ll get in-depth stories about the quirks of its history, heritage, culture, and architecture - a plethora of Perth highlights! Rather than lose your interest with dates and historical data, your passionate guide will show you exactly why Perth is the way it is, and what really makes this city tick.



Your Perth tour finishes up at a local pub in Northbridge, where the first drink is free! A great afternoon out, whether you are visiting from over east, overseas, or even if you are a local West Australian who wants to delve deeper into Perth´s rich history.
