We added a couple of optional activities beyond Fremantle Prison tour and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Booked this as a couple trip and it was well paced. Fremantle Markets area in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

Cottesloe Beach alone was worth the trip, but combined with Fremantle Prison tour this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Perth is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Kings Park and Botanic Garden. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.
