Must do in Freemantle - Highly recommend you book this tour at the start of your visit to Freemantle. We were visiting from the UK and loved Mike's passion for his home town and the knowledge he shared with us about the history, culture, food and art of this unique place. This tour was a great springboard for our holiday.

Perfect to start your visit to Fremantle! - Me and my girlfriend loved the walking tour with our tour guide Michael. The knowledge he has about the little things in Freo made our stay here so much interesting. You can see he has a passion for the town he lives in, this is what makes the tour so great. Loved it! Much love, Tim & Evi.

Vibrant Freo with Passionate People - It was a very special experience getting a glimpse of Fremantle not only from a local's perspective, but also a glimpse into his 4-generation family's history in this vibrant harbor town. We saw many of the must-see sights and we were shown many popular restaurants and hidden gems that I will go back to in Fremantle in the future. The passion and knowledge of Michael is incredible.

Highly recommend this exploration of Fremantle. Chef's kiss - Shout out to Michael for such an awesome, fun and informative walking tour through the back streets of Fremantle. Born and bred Perth girl I've frequented Fremantle many times but there are so many new discoveries to explore and stories old and new I had no idea about. Thanks Michael will 10/10 do again and tell everyone visiting Fremantle that this is an absolute must!

Amazing tour of Fremantle with Michael - I booked this tour purely for the five star reviews and it was even better than that! Michael is amazing/ he's genuinely concerned with showing you the best of Fremantle. I had problems with flight delays and arrived late. Michael went above and beyond to help. I could not think of a better ambassador for this area. He was relaxed, knowledgeable and fun. I can't wait to do another tour - thanks so much for a great morning and for sharing so many local tips Michael. Simply unforgettable!

Best of Fremantle walk tour - Today Michael took me on a tour of my home town, and showed me some of the history, the street art, cafes, bars and restaurants.
I’ve lived in and around Fremantle for 40+ years and he still managed to show me places and art I had not seen before. I learnt such a lot.
Michael’s enthusiasm is catching and his knowledge is tailored to those in the group. Take a tour, you won’t regret it.

Michael the walking encyclopaedia - Michael is so accommodating and appreciative of the experience he shares with you, an amazing knowledge of the area and history really makes this walk something you need to do. Missing out would be a disappointment as this made our trip to Perth a very special experience.
