About
A magical way to see the historical Port City, Fremantle.
Prior to British settlement, the indigenous Noongar people inhabited the area, knew it by the name of Walyalup. Visited by Dutch explorers in the 1600s, Fremantle was named after Captain Charles Fremantle. The convict-built Fremantle Prison and is now a World Heritage Site.
Fremantle was deepened for commercial shipping, into a bustling trade centre. Declared a city in 1929, Fremantle played a key role in World War II as the largest submarine base. Post-war immigration from Europe, particularly Italy, shaped Fremantle's character, after hosting the 1987 America's Cup. Today, Fremantle is recognised for Victorian and Edwardian streetscapes, convict-era heritage with a thriving arts and culinary scene.
The Fremantle War Memorial is located on Monument Hill, an 11-acre public reserve, the Fallen Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial, established by the Fremantle Town Council in 1928 to commemorate the losses of the First World War.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Lois1313130 contributionsReliable local operatorLocal tour operator running smaller tours so if you want to avoid the big buses, this is the guide for you. Have a good selection of tours and are professional and flexible (I booked for 4 of the tours).Written March 8, 2025

- Navigator6064020 contributionsInteresting and fun!Fred was a great guide! He was friendly and knowledgeable! We had a wine tasting and visited a delicious chocolate factory. The wildlife park was great — saw animals we hoped to see in Australia — kangaroos, koalas, and Tasmanian devils. Fun afternoon!Written January 10, 2025
- annawD2368RF0 contributionsAwesomeFiona was awesome at sharing about Perth and also, ensuring we get to experience each stop to it's fullest despite the slight rush.Written January 8, 2025
- JohnL3060 contributionsRelaxed and informative half day tour from Perth.Interesting cave and good views of kangaroos and koalas. The cave guide was very knowledgeable. Also learnt a lot from the tour guide. Half a day was about right for this tour. Can also combine it with a visit to the Pinnacles desert to make a full day but I didn’t do it as I’d been to the desert before. Hotel pickup was very convenient.Written November 18, 2024

- 911bhg0 contributionsTerrible Day Tour -- Full Day Yanchep National Park, Cave & HillarysMe and my wife was in Perth for 9 days and had signed up for a number of day trips covering all the major points of interests, including Pinnacles, Margaret River, Wave Rock etc. Then, we had one free day, which we decided to fill by taking this full day Yanchep tour with cave and visit to Hillarys. We were a bit apprehensive at first because the price was quite hefty, AUD$200+, that doesn't include any meals, or expensive entry tickets. Nonetheless, since we had time to kill, we went for it, hoping for the best. The tour didn't start well. I tried to call and confirm the pick up time and location, and also inform Aussie Perth Tours about a potential road closure at my hotel. Nobody bothered to reply to my message and calls were engaged all the time. The driver came to pick us up at 9am. We were shocked to learn that we were the only 2 customers. That didn't bode well ...... As it turned out, this is the most over-sold, and over-priced tours I had in Perth. Along the way, commentary was minimal, almost non existent. The places we visited were anything but interesting. The cave tour was boring, very badly lit, and the guide was basically talking to himself most of the time. Then, the driver dropped us at a spot in Yanchep Park, telling us to roam around for 15 min, without telling us anything else -- eg the significance of the place, or what to see or do. So we wondered off, trying to spend the 15 minutes meaningfully. Basically there is nothing to see or do. We went back to the van, and the driver wasn't even there. 8 minutes later, he returned to the van, with his breakfast. I guess the spot was chosen so that he can get his breakfast? Then, a short distance drive later, we arrived at the Koala place. All the koalas were all high up in the trees. Nothing to see there. Then, the driver said to drive us to another place, without saying what is there. I thought we were supposed to have some kind of bushwalk or something or see some kangaroos in the wild, like what the tour description said .... but no. We arrived at this park. Again, he dropped us off, and told us to roam around for 30 mins, again, without offering more information about the significance of the place, what to do, what to see. Again, we had to try to spend 30 minutes of our time meaningfully at this park, which we failed. After the agonizing 30 minutes passed, he drove us to the Hillarys. After telling us there are food places in the mall, and there is this Aqua place we can visit (tickets not included), he again dropped us off, without any further information. He then said another van will pick us up and return us to the hotel at 3:30pm. If we ended up earlier, we can call them to send a driver early. The marina was nice, but the mall was very run-down. Nothing to shop there and nothing much to eat. Again, we had to somehow stretch our time to fill up the 2.5 hours we have. Again, we failed because there is simply nothing to do there. (The Aqua tickets were expensive. We are not doing to spend more $$ after spending $200+ each pax for this useless tour). After lunch, we couldn't stand it any longer and called them to pick us up at 3:15pm. In summary, this tour is the worst !!!!! DO NOT sign up for this tour. This is the MOST OVERSOLD and OVERPRICED tour. Considering the fact that a full day Wave Rock tour (by another agency) costs $200+ person, covered 10+ hours of driving (this tour only covers 2+ hours of driving), and included lunch (this tour doesn't include any meals. The only entry was to Yanchep which is just A$17 per vehicle).Written November 14, 2024

Mary of Aussie Perth tours gave us possibility to fully appreciate Wildlife Park according to our interests.

- PaulW78410 contributionsHalf-Day Swan Valley & Wildlife Park Tour, a pleasant surprise short journeyMy friend arranged this half day tour for me, on the understanding that I had just taken a long and exhausting 18-day journey from Darwin to Broome. a flight from Broome to Perth and a 4-day tour to the Pink Lake area. It looks as if a simple and easy trip but it came out as a small pleasant surprise to me that I could see so much within such a short time (half-day). I was fortunate to have an excellent guided service to the Swan Valley & Wildlife Park. Throughoout the journey, the guide had provided detailed information to me, showed me the shortest route in the wild life park to see the most within the shortest time. She also arranged the photo sessions with the wild animals quickly, saving us much of the waiting time. My wife and I really appreciate the high standard of care and detailed information provided to us. She also looked after our comfort in the car and she drove very well. Everything is well organised. The only regret is that it is a half-day tour and I had too little time to stay in the wild life park for more photos (though I had taken 702 photos already). Another pleasant surprise is the that the guide took almost 40 photos for us, which are all well-taken and now I finally have some good photos with both me and my wife appearing in the same frame. A most memorable half-day tour before I rushed to the West Australia Museum in the afternoon!Written September 11, 2024
- Explorer7449140 contributionsYanchep National ParkThe Yanchep National Park is indeed a jewel in the crown of Perth's tourist destinations. The plant life and wildlife are captivating, the Crystal Cave is amazing and the historical Chocolate Drops Cafe and the Yanchep Inn provide a delightful setting for a meal. One big drawback, which should be made clear to all potential visitors is, that unlike most attractions, the Park IS NOT, accessible by public transport and, while the new train service will take you to the Yanchep Station, from then on, you're on your own unless you want to make what would an extremely long hike.Written August 4, 2024
- Ethan50130 contributionsA very short visit with a lot of places being skippedThe tour had done a quick tour of a few section of East Perth & the weekend market in Fremantle, skipped Kings Park & Swan River. It really doesn’t worth it.Written May 24, 2024

- E251QWvaleriel0 contributionsDisappointmentI had booked to visit the Caversham Wildlife Park, followed by a wine growing place and a chocolate factory but the visits were limited to being accompanied by a driver, no visit to how chocolate is made (the factory) and for wine the same, no wine cellar visits. In short, I'm very disappointed, it's not what I expected. The only good thing was the kindness of the guide, the driver of the minibus.Written March 28, 2024
- GoPlaces177792190220 contributionsA memorable journeyThe 4-day itinerary was fantastic, featuring numerous unforgettable sceneries. The tour guide was excellent, providing explanations along the way and taking many photos for us. The only regret is that the entire itinerary did not include meals.Written December 21, 2023
