Wonderful walking tour of Perth with Alex. We learned so much about the history of Perth and major sites. Alex also gave us great restaurant recommendations and introduced us to some wonderful local shops. Highly recommend this tour!

Today we were delighted to do a lovely walking tour with the enthusiastic Ellen. Only 19 and this only her 3rd tour her knowledge was detailed and varied on a wide range of what makes Perth ‘Perth’.
As a dedicated local she was able to give us an insight into how Perth has changed over the years, including stories passed down 2 generations.
She gave us great idea for other places to visit, and included some extra time at the old courthouse at our request. Thank you Ellen for a wonderful morning

Very enjoyable. Alex was very well prepared with relevant photos to provide additional information. She timed and paced the tour expertly. Well done Alex.
My only negative is that I found the tour overpriced at AUD 72.

This was a very nice tour. I got a sense for Perth's lay out as well as learned about the public art, history, and current life of the city. Alex was a great guide. She was very accommodating to the people in our group and answered all of the questions that came up with her knowledge and passion for the city. Definitely a good way to get a feel for Perth!

We recently took the Discover Perth Walking Tour, and it was excellent! Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging, bringing the history and culture of Perth to life with interesting facts. From the historic architecture to the hidden laneways, every stop on the tour offered something for everyone. Our guide made and effort to connect with everyone in the group. They made sure to answer all our questions and even provided personalized recommendations for things to do and see after the tour.
We highly recommend the Discover Perth Walking Tour to anyone visiting the city. It's a fantastic way to explore Perth and learn more about its history and culture.

This walking tour was fun, informative and at a liesurely pace. Time for toilet breaks and coffee. Enjoyed all the informative stories told to us by Adie. Adie was so energetic with a effervescent personality to match. Thoroughly recommend. You can also book through " oh hey WA" which I didn't know. Wonderful three hours spent touring on Sunday 17th August.

Scott_H, Jul 2025
Alex was the most amazing tour guide. We were a small group of 3 tourists and as an Australian local myself but first time in Perth it was a wonderful experience. I learned things some of my local friends didn't know. Alex was engaging, funny and informative. Everything you'd want from a tour guide!
P.s Sorry my review is two months late Alex! All went well with my overseas move :)
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Oh heeyyy Scott!! 2 months late is better than never, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review - we obviously made an impression if you're coming back to review months later!! I'm so glad to hear you had a great time exploring Perth with me :) Alex
Samantha_S, Jul 2025
Great way to discover Perth. Alex, our guide was engaging, informative and passionate. It was lovely to listen to Alex’s stories about different places. It was also a great way to get our bearings of Perth, we did this on our first full day, so much better than just aimlessly wandering around a city, we loved hearing about the history of this beautiful place. Alex and Oh hey Tours were wonderful to deal with. We would book with them again.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback Sam!! I'm so glad you came on tour with me first thing - and I hope you had fun revisiting places or checking out some of my recommendations! It was a pleasure to have you on tour with me :) Alex

This was a fantastic experience for those who love history with the quirky little stories added in. It was very informative and at a pace that everyone could keep up with and still take in the sights and information. Alex was an amazing tour guide for this tour. It also gave us places to go back to for a longer visit. (The Law Museum was brilliant)

This walking tour was very enjoyable and not too strenuous! The lovely Phobe was a bubbly and informative guide. As a sole traveller I would recommend, as our group was small and perfectly formed (just 2 sole ladies travellers and Phobe).
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review - we're happy to hear you felt comfortable on your (almost private) walking tour of Perth with Phoebe!

Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you for your review - so glad you had a wonderful tour with Oh Hey WA!
Carmel_R, Feb 2025
There was only five people in our group and we all spoke English. Phoebe had the ability to walk backwards while she addressed us. I wear hearing aids so was delighted that Phoebe spoke distinctly so I could follow all the quirky details she gave us about architects and the buildings. She informed us about the free Cat bus service and museums that we could explore on our own. The three hours flew by and was an easy walk. I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to keep up with my new knee replacement but we took a leisurely stroll. Her information on sculptures was interesting. She gave us time to explore the Cathedral and the Old Court House Museum. We had a coffee/bathroom break and ended at a rooftop bar with spectacular views over Perth city and the river. She helped us plan our afternoon activities before leaving us.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you for this amazing feedback on your tour with Phoebe! We are so glad that you felt supported and included in our tour and had a lovely morning exploring Perth. It sounds like you got plenty of recommendations as well, which we hope you got to experience! We're so glad you joined us on the Ultimate Walking Tour of Perth :)
