Excellent walking tour with Alex - We had booked a three-hour walking tour and Alex was our guide. Time with her flew by because she brought us closer to her city of Perth competently, openly, cheerfully and humorously. She is an excellent City Guide!

Brilliant off beat introduction to Perth City - This was a great introduction to Perth. Ellen was enthusiastic and clearly loves her city! We learnt loads you will never know if you just walk about looking and got some great tips for eating and drinking, again off the beaten track away from the main tourist places. Definitely worth a few hours of your time as soon as you can after arrival.

Get to know Perth with an entertaining interesting Tour - The first thing we must say is Ellen our guide was very personable, enthusiastic and very mindful to ensure our group of 10 were all given personal time and information to ensure we all got the best out of the tour. All the more remarkable as Ellen has only recently taken on this role. If you want to learn about the history of Perth and get some tips on places to go then I would highly recommend taking this tour. A very enjoyable way get a handle on the city at a pace that will meet all age group’s requirements.

Perth CBD Walking Tour a Must Day One Of Your Perth Visit - Ellen was outstanding - This Walking Tour of Perth CBD is an absolute MUST! Best to do it on Day One of your visit here as the tips and tricks regarding hidden places to eat, see and experience could only be found if speaking to an experienced local! Ellen has incredible local knowledge and her ability to engage the whole group in the history and architecture of this beautiful city is outstanding. Ask her about the Australian Coat of Arms on a particular building! Interesting fun fact.. 100% 10/10. Thank you Ellen :).

An in-depth introduction to Perth. - 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

Great intro to Perth. - Our tour guide, Ellen, was fantastic. Young, knowledgable, and very enthusiastic. She said it was only her second tour, but I never would have guessed. Very polished presentation, and I should know because I’m a volunteer tour guide in Chicago. A very worthwhile introduction to Perth.
