This was the highlight of our trip. We feel in love with Fremantle’s old architecture and Big Al was able to give us the stories behind these lovingly maintained streetscapes. He has a wealth of knowledge and his book full of drawings, paintings and photographs helps you to see back through the years at how the city has changed and grown. We loved the tour and would recommend it to anyone as Big Al will adapt his focus to suit your interests.

Enjoy a guided tour of our grand heritage building, secured vaults, and 1899 melting house where you can see a live gold pour. Hear tales of the Mint’s golden past, and learn of the gold mining legends and events that have shaped WA.

Very instructive and educational visit, lots of references on the history of WA gold rush, you can watch a live gold pour, touch a gold bullion, see some of the most beautiful gold nuggets I´ve ever seen on display. Nice visit and appropriate duration and calibrated content.

Thank you Bill for such an informative tour. The guns are amazing and the tunnels just blew me away - hard to believe all that is under the earth. I recommend this to everyone.
4. Fremantle Prison

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.

We had Chris for our True Crime Tour and Janine for our Torch Light tour which were both really good and worth doing. The True Crime tour talks about crimes committed but does not go in to too much detail and therefore is not gross. If you want to hear more about the Claremont case I can recommend the Crime Junkie pod cast which has an episode on the case... This does however go in to a fair amount of detail and would not be recommended for under 16s. The Torch Light tour is good and a very different experience again. A little scary at times but great fun and interesting history on the place.

6. Woodbridge

The attractive site on the banks of the Swan River, just east of the historic town of Guildford, was originally taken up by the colony’s first Governor, Captain James Stirling. By 1831, he had built a cottage there, a retreat from Government House. The property was purchased in 1883 by Charles Harper, agriculturalist, legislator and part owner of The West Australian newspaper. He proceeded to display his position and wealth by building the current house.

I would really recommend this tour. It cost us $8 dollars each, and I can honestly say it was the best attraction we visited during our time over here. Our volunteer tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting in the way he conducted the tour. The leaflet and website don't really do the actual visit justice. We did it really just for a tourist thing to do, but left feeling entertained and also educated in many things about what happened there during the war. Thank you our tour guide.
