Terrific Tour
We did the two tour package of the Convict Tour and the Behind Bars Tour. They go brilliantly together and well with the $32 package deal. The tours were 75 minutes each and led by informative guides who were happy to answer questions along the way. It was amazing and actually very disturbing to see that the cells made by and for convicts in the 1800s were still being used as gaol cells as recently as 1991. The combo of the two tours gave a wide overview of the full history from convicts to 1991 and allowed us to see a lot. Very much suggest doing both of these tours together and they can be done straight after one another to make a seamless morning. There are other tours as well.

A step back to the beginnings of Fremantle.
Fabulous time learning about the history and origins of the prison. We joined the "Convict Prison Tour" and had we more time would probably join the other tours as well. Lots of interesting history and stories bringing the prison back to life in the past.

Fremantle Prison Tunnel Tour
We braved the tunnel tour... really interesting experience. We had a safety briefing first, then kitted out in abseiling gear, we descended down a deep shaft to access the tunnels underneath the prison. Walked through the tunnels first, experienced how dark & quiet (& spooky) it is when the lights were turned out... then moved onto a kayak & paddled/pushed/pulled our way through the water filled tunnels. A unique experience, our tour leader Chris was very amusing too. Would highly recommend.

Interesting prison
Interesting former prison. Free entry to the gatehouse displays / cafe / gift shop / small art exhibition. There are also several guided tours to choose from in the prison itself, at a reasonable cost. I didn’t do a tour, because they all involved a lot of walking and standing (1 hour +). My husband however enjoyed the tour. It’s perhaps a shame they don’t offer a shorter / easier tour for those of us with mobility problems.

An absolute must
We did the ‘Behind bars tour’ and the ‘Tunnels Tour’. Both really good, the tunnels tour is an absolute must. It’s really interactive and Chris our guide was utterly superb. What a fantastic tour guide he is. We highly recommend doing this and visiting the site.

Great experience
We went with a cousin to this old facility in Fremantle. We opted for the triple tours which allowed us to plan in lunch. The guides were very knowledgeable on their subjects, shout out to Matthew our guide on the last tour. There is a lot of interesting history in and around the prison of Western Australia from it's first settlers until 1991 when it closed. Very well worth the visit.

Great Visit, Can't Wait To Go Back
Having visited here a few years ago I really wanted to show my partner what a great place this was. The weather was perfect for us on the two occasions that we toured ( we did two different tours on different days ) and the wonderful Janine took us around both times! She really brought the place to life and we were captivated by her stories - I only wish I had gone to see Moondyne Jo's resting place in the graveyard as it turns out one of my rellies ( died in the asylum ) is buried there too ) . Next time Fremantle! Definitely worth a visit as this place is quite fascinating.

Awesome day in jail
We did the tunnel tour with Tristan as a guide. What a magnificant guide he was and took his tour guiding to a very high level. Unfortunately one of our family members suffered a claustrophobic event, but with true professionalism Tristan handed this over to Simon, another guide who made a great result of our situation. 100% recommend this tour. We laughed the whole time, and had a fantastic experience. Thank you.

Excellent torchlight tour
We booked the torchlight 🔦 tour. Very atmospheric and a little spooky. Our guide was excellent, very informative (kept the group moving as we were there on a busy evening). Would recommend a visit, makes you realise just how grim prison life is. I would like to do another tour to see the prison in daylight.

A must do if you’re in Fremantle
We did the convict tour, which was suggested to us because we are Irish! We had some invested interest in hearing about our ancestors misdemeanours. Karl is an excellent tour guide and a gifted story teller, and kept our attention for the entire tour. He added humour to the tour, which made it so much more enjoyable. He brought us around the prison grounds and told us stories of the convicts, some of which were hilarious and shocking in equal measure. My one criticism is that there is about 35 people in the tour group and at times there is some standing around and waiting for everyone to gather.
