Here's a comprehensive tour that combines sightseeing of Perth and Fremantle with wine tasting, lunch and a river cruise.
Admire sleek, modern buildings and soaring skyscrapers as you drive through Perth. Stretch your legs on a brief stop at Kings Park to photograph the spectacular view overlooking the city and Swan River.
Travel through the eastern suburbs to the Swan Valley — a heritage area renowned for its historic houses and superb wineries.
Sandalford Wines invites you to participate in a wine tasting. Your guide talks you through the wine-making process, and you'll even try wine straight from the oak barrel. An Australian lunch is served at a local restaurant.
On returning to Perth, board a riverboat for a leisurely cruise down the Swan River to Fremantle. Sit back and watch the passing scenery glide by as you listen to the live commentary.
Reboard your coach for a brief introduction to Fremantle. You'll travel along the Esplanade to see the quaint terraced houses, ornate historic buildings and sidewalk cafés. Drive past the old Round House at Arthur's Head — a twelve-sided jail — and the Maritime Museum, a grand cluster of stone buildings, before returning to the ship.
