Great and wheelchair friendly

5.00My wife Belinda and I recently went on the Perth true crimes tour. Belinda is a wheelchair user, and this tour was very accessible and a great fun experience. Our tour guide Amy, was fantastic at delivering the stories and very knowledgeable. We didn’t feel rushed or left behind. She answered everyone’s questions and gave us a truly immersive experience. All in all, for around $30 with a companion card, great value for money. It took approximately 2hrs, with a walking distance of around 2.5-3km, mostly flat and accessible with only one slightly difficult hill but still manageable. I would definitely recommend this tour, and we are looking forward to doing the Fremantle tour soon. Well done Amy, David and the team. Cheers 🍻 Cliff Nutt

5.00Aim was a delightful tour guide, blending humour with sombreness at appropriate times. I've lived in this city for ten years and didn't know most of the horrifying and wild things that were described. I'm so glad to have educated myself on a bit more of my city's history. A great few hours to spend with friends contemplating how times change (and don't change), society and the criminal justice system, in such an entertaining manner. Excellent for locals and visitors alike. Welcome to the dark history of Boorloo!
Interesting crime tour around Perth. Worth considering.
