Stephanie was an absolute pleasure to have as a guide. She was fun, quirky (in a good way) and her knowledge of Perth and its history were bar none. She also gave us lots of tips about other places to go, outside Perth……like the National Hotel in Freemantle. Thank you so much Stephanie….you rock!Amazing walk about

He wasn’t at the meeting point didn’t answer phone or messages, so we left, then 1 hour and 15 minutes later he sends a message saying that he is at the meeting point. So I expect my money back as we didn’t have a tour of Perth!Rate 0, as he didn’t turn up

We had an amazing tour with Stephanie. She showed us around Perth in a way that lives up to the name: WithLocals. Highly knowledgeable and with a diverse spectrum of topics, she guided us from one hidden gem to the next, leaving us with a deeper understanding of the city and its culture. Her storytelling talent and energetic pace made this a very entertaining morning – thank you Stephanie!Knowledgeable and energetic

We booked on the Highlights and Hidden Gems walking tour with Stephanie and it was really good. Stephanie was very friendly and knowledgeable about everything she showed us. The tour does exactly what it says on the tin and takes you to many hidden gems that we would never have found on our own. I'd definitely recommend this tour. Keep up the good work Stephanie and thank you.

Isabella was a delight to have as a local guide of Fremantle. She bubbled with infectious enthusiasm as she described the history of Fremantle. Isabella has a great knowledge base of Fremantle and discussed other parts of the city not on the itinerary, which was a bonus. This tour was a great taster of what’s on offer in Fremantle, with us loving the markets and booking a prison tour. I would highly recommend this young lady as a competent and enthusiastic tour guide! Thanks heaps Isabella!!!Fremantle walking tour with Isabella.

I asked John-Alex to make a special tour for my girlfriends and me. We all love good food, cocktails and shopping. I chose John-Alex, because I could see that he has lots of experience in all of these areas. He got back to us with the perfectly planned day. We started off by going to a really cool cafe at a place in The Treasury Building. He then took us to all the luxury stores...heaven. We then went to a gorgeous bar and restaurant called The Precinct where we tried their amazing coccktails and share plates. Their Aperol Spritz was my favourite! My friend said that their Espresso Martini was the best that she has ever tasted. After lunch he took us to shops that stocked only locally designed stuff. Some of the girls love retro fashion so John-Alex took us to a few really awesome vintage boutiques. The final stage was a competition to see which of us could find the Best Buy. He took us to some of the best shops for this and it was so much fun trying to see who could get the biggest bargain! What was really great is that John-Alex is a stylist. We were blown away when we saw that he has work published in magazines like Vogue, Vogue Italia and Promo New York. We had such a fantastic day, especially because we had someone who knew where to go for such good food and drinks and someone who knew how to make shopping and playing dress-ups so much fun. One of my friends is getting married soon and I am going to suggest that he put a similar tour together for her pre-wedding Hen's Night.Thanks John-Alex!

We had some special international guests coming to visit us. My partner and I are real "foodies", so we wanted to show off some really cool places to eat and drink at in Perth. John-Alex took us to some fantastic places, but what was even better was that he got us all talking about the food and wine. We all really got into it, describing flavours and the pairings of food and wine. He also added his own local flavour by dropping in interesting little facts about the places that we went to as well as during the walks between each place. He was such a great guy, extremely friendly and he made everyone relax and enjoy themselves immediately. I am telling my colleagues to make sure that they make sure they use him whenever they have international clients. My guests had such a great time that they are planning to book another tour with him.Tasty tour!

John-Alex was amazing! He really loves and knows Perth. He added in extra little bits of information from a local point of view that were really interesting. He made the experience so much fun and made us all feel like he was interested in all of us and so welcome. It was obvious that he loves Perth and his passion for the culture and food that we experienced was catching. The whole experience was perfect thanks to him. I will definitely recommend him to all of my friends and we are already planning to book another tour with him!Amazing tour with John-Alex!

Rahul was as good as his word - very relaxed but not slack. He was very eager to make our walking tour special and he was sincere in his attempts to fill us in on the history of the part of Perth he showed us. He was considerate and kept offering to take photos, and he was very careful to ensure we didn't get separated (and stayed safe). We enjoyed his easygoing manner and willingness to accommodate our wishes and he didn't even make a fuss when we went a fair bit over time (not that we expected or demanded it from him, it just sort of happened and he went with the flow). So glad we did this tour!

We were a private group with family of two adult couples. We had Rahul as our guide who did a great job explaining from the start the amount of drive time and basic schedule for the day, emphasizing everything was flexible according to how the day progresses and at the rate we were interested in. Our emphasis was koala sightings in Rottnest, kangaroo sightings, Beach and possible wine or beer tasting. We had some slower walkers but still managed to get everything along with lots of historical details throughout the tour. We would highly recommend this company and tour. Great tour with Rahul!

Relaxed and entertaining, Sian told a variety of stories - while avoiding the stodgy stuff - that revealed the colour of the city's history and its present-day art treasures. Sian had cute stories about being in the city with her Mum and grandma.Relaxed and entertaining tour with Sian

Thank you so much Rahul. This is such a lovely review. You really were a fantastic group from the minute we all met. Such positive vibes throughout the days. Your energy was just amazing and your lust for adventure was very addictive. I do hope to see you again. Lovely day with Rahul!

A perfect trip stands and falls for us with the right travel guide. With Rahul Rauniyar, the Private Tour Guide we hit the jackpot. He is really exceptional in many ways. We spent four perfect days with him in and around Perth and every second of it was exciting. A trip along the Fremantle, exploring Pinnacles Desert, wine tasting in Swan Valley, beach hopping and sightseeing without Rahul is possible but pointless. He really makes it special! :-) The jackpot!

My tour guide Isabella was very enthusiastic and patient answering all my questions with a smile. Thank you IsabellaFun and interesting!
