Culture and Street Art Tour in Fremantle - We loved the tour. We are local to Perth, but we learnt so much more from our guide Winona about the history of Fremantle and visited areas we hadn't previously seen.
It was a very wet day, but Winona, managed the tour without the group having to stand in the rain.
I would recommend this tour.

Stories, Art, and History – A Great Way to Explore Freo! - The Fremantle Culture & Street Art Tour with Gerard was fantastic! Walking around Freo, I was amazed by the depth of history and stories behind the vibrant art and culture. Gerard’s knowledge and storytelling brought it all to life, and his passion for the area was infectious. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to learn more about Fremantle’s unique character.
