Things to do in Perth, Western Australia: The Best City Tours

October 28, 2021 Esmeralda Fenner

Perched on the banks of the wide Swan River, between the Indian Ocean and the sands of the Nullarbor Desert, Perth is one of the world's most isolated cities, yet still boasts an active beach scene and smokin’ nightlife. Family-friendly Cottesloe is brimming with swimmers, surfers and snorkelers. Head north to Scarborough for a spirited beachside club scene. Coo at cute marsupials on ferry-accessible Rottnest Island, and don’t miss the views from King's Park and Botanic Gardens.

This is a private tour catering for 7 seats or less. Being in a private tour with a born & bred Perth local means you get to see a lot more. Tour buses cant get to where I take you either, and you dont wait for others to play catch up! The tour is popular for its massive content, personal flexibility and its local focus. If you have particular things you want to see please let us know in advance. Expect to see the coolest things not just what you've seen in the brochures. This can also be an excellent Kid friendly tour with many locations that appeal to children of all ages. Random photo stops are part of this huge day tour.

Inclusions: Knowledgable local Driver/guide. The sights you want to see., Hotel/port pickup and drop-off, Plenty of photo stops and I take photos of you too., Multiple destinations & Loads of fun!, Flexibility to change destinations at any time.Within reason., Fresh cold seasonal fruit, premium local cheese & chocolate, chilled water.

Exclusions: Lunch. Many Lunch stop options are available to choose from.

I strongly recommend Perths Tiny tour / Peter. We did 2 tours with Peter: the pinnacles day tour and the Margaret river tour. For each tour, he picked us at our hotel and dropped us off at the end of the tour. The tours were well organized and we saw really nice things: the must sees like the Pinnacles but also more peculiar things like the gnomes'village. Peter was also a really informative guide telling us a lot about western Australia. FYI, we booked 2 tours with other companies and they cancelled last minute. Peter saved us and took us last minute on the Margaret river tour. Thank you Peter!

We had a great time! Sampled some great beers at breweries we hadn't been to before. Loved meeting some of the brewers and seeing 'behind' the scenes' how craft beer is made. Will be back with friends. :)

Get to know Perth in a whole new way, exploring the picturesque eastern foreshore of the Swan River and discover Perth’s hidden gems off the usual tourist route! Our journey takes us along the eastern foreshore of Perth’s pristine Swan River through an urban wetland, a haven for native birds on the urban fringe of the CBD.  Keep an eye out for dolphins and Western Australia’s iconic black swans. Just off the foreshore route is the small inlet Claisebrook Cove, one of Perth’s hidden gems.  A hub of riverside cafes, bars and elegant homes, you could be forgiven for imagining yourself in a quaint European village. As we meander back through East Perth to the city, our route passes some of the city’s most beautiful heritage buildings including the famous Perth Mint, historic Government House and the lush Supreme Court Gardens.

What a special and unique trip. The Pinnacles are fascinating to walk among and drive around. The sandboarding is a fun experience. My favorite was the Caversham Wildlife Park, where each animal exhibit had a guide there to describe the animal's characteristics and habits. We even got to hold or touch some of them. They are doing such a remarkable job rescuing these animals too. Of course, the wine tasting was fun too.
