    Local Tourist - Amazing stuff I never knew!

    Perth CBD: WA Enterprising Women. Female trailblazers: self-guided women's history tour of Perth FANTASTIC! ***** I just finished with a group of friends. So Awesome to be a local tourist. App is designed really well. Even some virtual reality stuff too! I love how it’s designed by a perth business woman who loves her job and history! The Information about the women was interesting. I’m originally from Perth and had NO IDEA about any of this history. Not too much information or too little information. Enough interaction within the app and you can even Re listen to your tour afterwards. Walk at your own speed and take a break for lunch or dinner whenever you want. A tour you can take anytime of the day! I’m buying gift certificates for Christmas & Birthday for sure from their website (darkstry). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Up next another tour I think!

    Well behaved women seldom make history

    What a great walk through! Walking through my home city with new eyes and new experience. Hearing the amazing efforts of women who have left a mark on Perth history from brothel owners, through to politicians and indigenous artists.

    Female trailblazers: self-guided women's history tour of Perth: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.

    How much does Female trailblazers: self-guided women's history tour of Perth cost?

    +

    Prices start at $18 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Perth usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Female trailblazers: self-guided women's history tour of Perth take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Perth is not rushed.

    Is Female trailblazers: self-guided women's history tour of Perth worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Perth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Female trailblazers: self-guided women's history tour of Perth?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Female trailblazers: self-guided women's history tour of Perth suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Female trailblazers: self-guided women's history tour of Perth?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Perth can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Perth and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Female trailblazers: self-guided women's history tour of Perth start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Perth within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Perth?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Perth experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Optus Stadium Tour, Discover Perth Walking Tour: History, Art, Local Insights + More!, Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Perth?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Perth?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
