Perth True Crime Walking Tour

1 to 4 hours

Overview

This guided walking tour looks at Perth through its darker history, focusing on historic crime sites, notorious criminals and cases that shaped the city’s past. Over 1 hour 45 minutes, you’ll hear stories of scandal, violence, solved and unsolved crimes while moving through places that can look ordinary at first glance. It’s a good pick if you want something different from the usual sightseeing and prefer stories with a grim edge.

Why backpackers love it

At AUD 34, this is a relatively affordable way to do something more unusual in Perth without needing a full day or extra transport. It suits backpackers who like walking tours, local history and slightly offbeat experiences over polished tourist attractions. The accessible setup also makes it straightforward to fit into a short stay or an evening plan, as long as you’re up for being on your feet.

What to expect

You’ll join a tour host and walk between central sites linked to Perth’s criminal past. Along the way, the guide shares stories tied to real events, hidden-in-plain-sight locations and the people behind some of the city’s most infamous episodes. The route is wheelchair accessible, pram friendly and near public transport, but you should still be comfortable walking for the full tour and have a moderate level of fitness. There should also be time to take a few photos as you go.
