"We did the 3.30 tour. Very informative tour with a great guide. Very interesting information on the prison's history. If we had more time, we would have loved to do the tunnel tour."
"Did a convict tour of Fremantle Prison today. Loved it!! Amazing to learn so much about the building and surrounds from the beginning to basically the end. Also super in depth stories about the convicts and prisoners that once lived there. Our tour guide Janine was amazing and it’s easy to see she really enjoys her job. She really made the tour for us ⭐️ Would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting the area. Thanks again !"
"Incredible tour. The history of this place is very interesting and our guide (Ian) was wonderful, leading us through all aspects of the prison. We did the Behind Bars tour which was the history of the prison, a look at all of the blocks, kitchen and prison yard. Highly recommend."
"What a wonderful day we had at Fremantle Prison. We had never been before a d decided to check it out. My 7 year old son absolutely loved it which was fantastic. He actually stood there and listened to the tour guide. Our incredible guide was so informative, funny and really made the tour for us. We can't wait to go back to do the other tours. We had a choice between 2 tours with my son but there were so many more if you had older children or are an adult. It was really a great day out and we look forward to going back. The price was really great too."
"A lovely family friendly attraction to visit while you’re in Fremantle. They run multiple tours which don’t overlap much with each other; we did the true crime tour which we found very interesting. Our guide Debbie was very knowledgeable and kept us engaged with many interesting real life stories. We got to see the inside of some cells and got to go into a gun tower as well, although if you want to see more of that kind of things you’ll have to do the behind bars tour. Highly recommend whether you’re a tourist, or a local looking for something fun and educational at the same time."
