Hello, Nat and myself had a great time. Nigel was very knowledgeable and a great and engaging tour guide. Love Fremantle and it was good to gain a different perspective of it and being a total True Crime buff, it was an awesome experience for both of us, thanks so much, Coreena Mustica

I have lived here my whole life and had no idea of the Crime stories Fremantle had. The tour was so good and the tour guide was exceptional. Me and my friend scored a private tour as it was only her and I that was there so i feel like we got the best tour.

It was great to learn about some of the ‘dark’ history of Fremantle. We booked this tour because it was something different and we weren’t sorry. Jason shared a number of stories and was very approachable and knowledgeable.

Very interesting and informative walking tour. Glenn was a really engaging host for the walking tour and dealt with all questions well. Tour was 90 mins long which was about the right length of time.

Very interesting information about some meaningful WA history. And walking past beautiful historic buildings just makes it better. Glenn seems to be a history nerd in the best possible way (everyone should be a nerd about something) - excellent delivery and engagement.

Had a marvellous time on the tour, the tour guide was fun, engaging, informative, welcoming and made all the stories come to life. 18 people sat spellbound at each stop and listened intently to the murders and outcome of the said criminals of Fremantle. I think his name is Glenn tall redhead fella put a lot of puns in the stories and made everyone laugh. But always was respectful in this serious times and aspects of the stories. If you’re looking for something to do whether you’re a local or a tourist, I would highly recommend this.
