5Great Storytelling
Nigel was a great story teller! It was a fantastic evening diving into the past of Fremantle and it's gruesome stories. We will be back for the Perth tour.
5An unforgetable experience - a wonder down Fremantles dark past.
Fremantle True Crimes Walking Tour was fantastic. Born and bred in the area and I was enlightened on the darker side of Freo, and it was brilliant! Nigel, our tour guide was fantastic, he is an amazing story teller - would love to join another tour with him when ever we can. Could not fault the tour plan , or Nigel's guidance. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
5Grisly Tales with a Great Guide!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Brought my cousins who were visiting from the U.K. They are 16 & 20 so I was slightly worried I booked something too grisly but the stories were historical & not too grisly. The kids really loved it & thought our guide was fantastic. Informative, entertaining & passionate about his job. I’ve already recommended this to my friends & I’d recommend it to everyone! Streets you walk by everyday as a Freo Local have brand new meaning! Thanks so much!

The guide Chris, was absolutely so full of knowledge, and the way he delivered the tour was fantastic, but not for the prudish. Absolutely highly recommend.

Fremantle is Perth's old port on the Indian Ocean, a harbour town of limestone and Victorian buildings, a convict prison, markets and coffee-lined streets.
Fremantle sits at the mouth of the Swan River, known to the Noongar people as Walyalup. Its centre keeps a strong stock of nineteenth-century buildings, including the Round House, the oldest surviving public building in Western Australia, and the town hall. Fremantle Prison, built by convicts in the 1850s, is part of the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage listing.
