Fremantle Prison is one of Western Australia’s premier tourist attractions and the only World Heritage listed building in the State.The Prison was built by convicts in the 1850s and was used as a place of incarceration for almost 140 years. With solitary cells and gallows Fremantle Prison is a monument to a system of punishment that is uncomfortably recent. Fremantle Prison now holds the key to history, mystery and fun. Step inside and do time with experienced guides on a fascinating Prison Day Tour. Explore the labyrinth of tunnels 20m beneath the Prison by foot and by boat on a Tunnels Tour adventure. Feeling brave? Delve into the darker side of the Prison’s history on an eerie Torchlight Tour.

One of the sites amongst the few world heritage sites. It's a must visit place if you are visiting Perth. Best part is the way it is still narratives l maintained and the guide who gives you the tour. You will get to learn a lot right from their schedule to the most dangerous punishments they were awarded.

Friendly 'jailor' to bring you through the place, & help share with you the history of the prison, & in fact the history of WA. You get to learn some interesting trivia as well. Good chance to go to prison without being locked up.

The guides are informative and friendly.

It is about 5 - 10...

There is a choice of 3 tours that you can do. The tunnel tour under the prison sounded interesting but went for two hours so we gave it a miss and went for the general prison tour.
Very interesting. Our guide had a very rehearsed skirt that he worked to but the jokes still seemed to work. He got a...
