Urban Exploring - The tour was excellent . Saw many places, lanes and artwork I never knew existed. It was interesting exploring my own city with new eyes and I have learned to look up and Ive been inspired to explore other parts of my city. Well worth doing.

A must do in Perth - I had a wonderful time on the Perth Arcades and Laneways Walking Tour with Jen. She was able to provide information on the history and architecture of Perth, and how this is integrated into some of the newer buildings. I particularly enjoyed the laneway art and stories behind these. I wanted to explore the city and was shown some unique aspects of the city, that some of the local Perth residents were discovering for the first time. The tour is a fabulous way to see the CBD in a new light, or get your bearings if you are new to Perth. A few local people commented that they had never looked up or noticed some of the aspects that were pointed out by Jen. A number of options for food and drink were pointed out throughout the tour which helped me select my options for h the e next few days. The drink and conversation at the end of the tour was very welcome and a great group of people. If you are in Perth I would highly recommend this tour.

Fascinating & informative - An excellent tour lead by Vaughan. Very interesting and informative with a host of historic & cultural facts. I went down lane ways I didn't know existed, soaked up art and culture, learned facts about the establishment of Perth and overall, had a immensely interesting afternoon.

Don’t miss out on this tour - If you only do one tour when you are in Perth do this one. We had Vaughan as our tour guide. He has an unbelievable knowledge of the city and the history of Perth but more than that he is proud of his town and it shows in the way he talks about the city

School Scavanger Hunt! - A fantastic tour around all of the lanes of Perth, uncovering some hidden gems! We were guided on a rich historical tour that showed us a glimpse into Perth in the 1800’s!

Uncover Perth’s hidden gems - What a fascinating tour! It was a wonderful introduction to Perth for first timers and old timers alike. Special thanks to Joan for being a terrific guide - knowledgeable, engaging, warm. She made the tour! We will definitely plan to do more tours by Two Feet and a Heartbeat on any future trips to Perth. It’s the perfect way to get under the skin of the city and uncover hidden gems!

So much to love about this tour! - Five stars for Joni! I’ve lived in Perth for 35 years but still found so much about Perth I didn’t know on this interesting and informative tour! Joni had such great knowledge about the area and in particular of the street art that she showed us down little laneways and arcades. Strongly recommend!
