Best of Perth Tours

Tour operator

👍👍 We had such a fun day out in the Swan Valley winery region. There were only 5 of us on the tour and they were a great bunch of people. Tim was so friendly and very knowledgeable about Perth and the Swan Valley. The wineries were different and interesting and the lunch and wine tasting spot was a hig...

Perth Beer Tours

Tour agency

👍👍 We booked the ultimate brewery tour for 10 at the last minute when our previous bus left us in the lurch for our Bucks party. First off, this isn't a Swan valley tour. It's the finest brew-pubs and micro breweries in Perth. You'll stay in the metro area and get more time to spend enjoying beer and a...

Perth Ocean Diving

SCUBA instructor

🫤 My friend and I paid for the course back in 2020 but we had to reschedule because I was feeling unwell. We tried to dive for the second time but I could not equalise my ears without feeling the pain. Marie agreed to reschedule me, only when the spot are available. She initially rescheduled me 3 week...

Canoe & kayak rental service

Old Court House Law Museum

Museum

👍👍 A really small museum, which also happens to be the second oldest building in Perth (and perhaps Australia). If you come, you might catch the kids wearing court attire for a role-play for court proceedings.

The General Post Office

Historical landmark

👍👍 Very lovely building at the heart of Perth’s historical character. Did you know that the Perth cost of arms has a “mistake”? The emu and the kangaroo are both staring in the direction of the Treasury Building instead of each other and there is an interesting backstory behind that!

DFES Education & Heritage Centre

Heritage building

👍 Stopped by when I was passing and noticed it was free to enter. This looks to be the old Fire Station that was refurbished to a museum. The top floor was quite informative, talking about natural disaster and house fires and how to be safe. There was even a small climbing wall. The downstairs had fir...

Little Ferry Company

Cruise agency

👍👍 Fantastic cruise along the Swan River. Great way to see the city. Electric solar powered boat so no loud noises or diesel smells. BYO food and drinks. Definitely recommend!

John Oldham Park

Park

👍👍 This an such gorgeous park, came here a couple times by myself and with friends to relax and do a few photoshoots. It's a beautiful place, the only complaint is that the parking area is a little bit expensive, it's best to park elsewhere and walk to the park. Relative large park too with lots to a...

Grand late-1800s governor's residence, with self-guided tours of the home & elaborate gardens.

Travel Forever

Travel agency

👍👍 Travel Forever offered me great service when I booked an Outback to Adelaide trip. Since the first contact with Kevin Mattaboni, service has been nothing short than perfect. In addition to provide good advice on a rather complex holiday planning, he's also offered me great deals. I am looking forwar...

Elizabeth Quay Carousel

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Every time we visit Elizabeth Quay the kids insist they want to go to the carousel. The perfect amusement in the perfect spot.

Dryandra Lookout

Scenic spot

👍 Amazing view to Swan river, Matilda bay and UWA. Car park is just 40 m. Small circular stage with few seats (no facilities nearby; however it is shaded).

4.70 (30 reviews) (~3.25 km from centre)

First Contact Sculpture

Sculpture

👍👍 Description: The 5m tall polished aluminum sculpture is inspired by the Noongar people’s first impression of European settlers in 1829. They saw the distant sails of their ships and thought they looked like floating birds and that their ancestors were returning. At night the sculpture illuminates....
