Half Day Perth & Fremantle Highlights

About this tour

A four-hour guided sweep through Perth and Fremantle, starting from your hotel or port at 09:30 or 14:00.

The route continues west through affluent riverside suburbs to Cottesloe Beach's turquoise waters, then dips into Fremantle's Victorian port district. The return leg traces the southern bank, offering fresh perspectives of Perth's skyline before dropping you back.

What to expect

You'll spend most of the tour in an air-conditioned vehicle with a professional driver-guide providing live commentary. Expect brief stops at key viewpoints—particularly Kings Park and Cottesloe—where you can step out for photos and stretch. The route loops through Perth's wealthier precincts, skirting the Swan River twice for contrasting perspectives. Fremantle's stop lets you glimpse its working port and heritage streetscapes without lengthy walking. Commentary is available in English, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese. Bring sunscreen and water; the tour provides bottled water but no meals.

Good to know
