About this experience

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.
