Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a culture aficionado, or simply seeking to escape the everyday, the Two Cities Tour promises a very special experience. Although both Perth and Fremantle were established on Whadjuk Noongar country in 1829, they are each quite different cities and offer their own unique charm and allure.
Perth, WA’s capital city, is a bustling business and commercial hub located on the banks of the Swan River with the backdrop of Kings Park and a distinctive high-rise skyline comprising a harmonious blend of old and new buildings. Fremantle is a much smaller city: located at the mouth of the Swan River, a fishing and commercial port, home to the Catholic University of Notre Dame and a market city where successive waves of settlers have left their imprint in the architecture of the early colonial, Victorian and Edwardian buildings and their cuisine in the many restaurants serving pizza, fresh pasta, seafood and gelatos.
On this 5-hour tour, you will have time to discover what each city has to offer plus enjoy photo stops at Kings Park, Cottesloe Beach and the South Perth foreshore.
