Such an interesting prison to visit. We went on a guided true crime tour with our family, and it was fascinating. Lot of history in this place. Highly recommended if you are a first time visitor to Western Australia!
Tour guide was very kind and ready to help whenever i asked a question. We went for the behind bars tour and saw the hangman’s noose. Very fun and would recommend coming at least 30 minutes earlier to look around the area as there are many interesting things that give you more insight into Fremantle prison. Very fun and would come again with my friends next time.
I recently visited the Fremantle Prison and did the tunnels tour. This was a very fun experience. It starts off with a short walk through sections of the prison yard, followed by a quick history lesson and safety briefing. The tunnel tour takes you underground by means of a series of ladders that you need to descend down with. You then get in small canoes that you paddle through the tunnels with. You get back to the surface with this same series of ladders that you come down with. Upper body strength is helpful but not mandatory.nI'd like to give praise to our tour guide, Simon. He is very humorous and made the tour extremely fun. He supplied many good laughs during his briefing and presentation of the tour and is very knowledgeable.nI would highly recommend anyone to do this tour. It is very insightful to the history of WA.
We were a party of 3 Adults and two teens. Visited yesterday and did the ‘Behind bars tour’ with Ian followed by the ‘True Crime tour’ with Nadia. Both were very interesting…intriguing even! Both our guides were engaging, passionate and knowledgeable. We all absolutely loved it. Thank you for sharing an amazing piece of history.
10/10 recommend to level up your experience and go for the Tunnels tour! This experience brings you BELOW the prison and while it requires you to have some level of physical mobility, the payoff is tenfold. We went for the Tunnels + Behind Bars package, but suffice to say the Tunnels experience was hands-down unmatched. Won’t spoil any details here, but if you’re physically able, go for it. Made even more memorable with our amazing guide Benny who was equal parts hilarious and knowledgeable.nnBehind Bars was also eye opening, it brought us into the compound and shed light into what it was like living on prison grounds.
