What you'll see and do
Perth
Ever wondered if these walls could talk? Alcohol, and the city's pubs, have been front-and-centre of Perth's colonial history, since first contact. Across seven tour stops, your charismatic companion, Riley, brings each venue back to life with an immersive mix of audio, transcript, photos, and interactive content. Each stop showcases a local historical hospitality venue where you’ll learn the hidden past of some of Western Australia’s most iconic and unknown locations in a love letter to Perth's history and hospitality. Time off is scarce and touring can be tense. Rushed itineraries miss the magic. While 4 hours is recommended for this tour, you can choose to spend longer at the places that pique your interest and discover more of what’s on offer. Each venue has been handpicked to ensure they are open at weekends and most weekdays so you can be confident you are headed to Perth's hives of activity. It's time to raise a glass and discover Perth's hidden history.

Why this scores 54

Tales-on-Tap: self-guided tour of Perth's Historical Pubs: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.
How much does Tales-on-Tap: self-guided tour of Perth's Historical Pubs cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Tales-on-Tap: self-guided tour of Perth's Historical Pubs 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 Tales-on-Tap: self-guided tour of Perth's Historical Pubs worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 2 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 Tales-on-Tap: self-guided tour of Perth's Historical Pubs?
+
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 Tales-on-Tap: self-guided tour of Perth's Historical Pubs 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 Tales-on-Tap: self-guided tour of Perth's Historical Pubs?
+
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 Tales-on-Tap: self-guided tour of Perth's Historical Pubs 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, Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour, VIP Swan Valley Wine Tour - Premium Small Group Wine & Gourmet Experience. 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.
