What to expect
You'll cover roughly 3km at a relaxed clip, stopping to examine heritage buildings, modern installations and laneway details that most visitors miss. Expect a mix of outdoor walking and pauses for explanation—your guide shares offbeat historical nuggets alongside practical intel about neighbourhoods and where to eat. This isn't a rushed tick-box tour; instead it's a conversational introduction that flags both what Perth was and what it's becoming. Weather won't stop proceedings, so pack layers.
