Perth
Ever wondered if these walls could talk? Alcohol, and the city's pubs, have been front-and-centre of Perth's colonial history, since first contact. Across seven tour stops, your charismatic companion, Riley, brings each venue back to life with an immersive mix of audio, transcript, photos, and interactive content. Each stop showcases a local historical hospitality venue where you’ll learn the hidden past of some of Western Australia’s most iconic and unknown locations in a love letter to Perth's history and hospitality. Time off is scarce and touring can be tense. Rushed itineraries miss the magic. While 4 hours is recommended for this tour, you can choose to spend longer at the places that pique your interest and discover more of what’s on offer. Each venue has been handpicked to ensure they are open at weekends and most weekdays so you can be confident you are headed to Perth's hives of activity. It's time to raise a glass and discover Perth's hidden history.
