About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- N3951XMameliah0 contributionsLocal knowledge & art storiesOur tour guide Amber was so knowledgeable and I loved hearing about the back stories of murals, buildings & laneways. Amber even went out of her way to recommend other Perth activities & cafes I could check out.Written 20 January 2025
- 877zakr0 contributionsA tour to remember!I had such a great time on this tour! It's amazing having your eyes opened to the murals that we take for granted in Perth on all the walls, along with the small details that are even easier to miss. Learning the stories behind the actual art enriches that even further, coming together to make this a wonderful tour for travellers and locals alike!Written 28 December 2024
- phoebep40 contributionsA must do in Perth!What a wonderful way to see and experience Perth. Adie and Phoebe were brilliant ambassador's of the city. Incredibly informative and insightful, learnt many things that we never would have known without their guidance expertise.Written 27 December 2024
- L6242CCalis0 contributionsDecadence by footI love the concept of this tour, a 2.5 hour walking tour that takes you to a lesser travelled end of town to experience the decadence of High Tea components. The first stop for a charcuterie board and a glass of Prosecco at lovely venue for me was the highlight. Beautifully presented and very generous but needed more cheese 😄. The second stop was at a lovely venue up town, unfortunately events totally out of the tour guides hands on this inaugural tour , very slightly marred this component of the tour, but I'm very confident when this tour is fully fledged all will be well. The last stop was in a beautiful building ,that has been fully renovated. Alex the guide was passionate and knowledgeable, I learnt new things about our beautiful city and who doesn't love a decadent High Tea. I thoroughly enjoyed my Tour.Written 9 December 2024
- Freedom487797144120 contributionsBest Introduction to Perth!Adie was an amazing tour guide and pointed out all the interesting facts & history about Perth that I wouldn't have noticed myself. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants a quick and informative overview of Perth - including its history, places to eat/drink, and other local insights!Written 4 December 2024
- SaltyBug0 contributionsStreet art and storytelling go hand in hand on this tourCreating shortened versions of tours makes them accessible for busy people who still want to experience the beauty of street art. I was surprised at how much art we got to see even in half the time of the full tour, and on a tour you hear the stories behind the art which you may not otherwise know about. I always love to see how Perth continues to revitalise and create beautiful spaces using art and storytelling and I think this is a lovely tour to experience for a creative date with someone, or as something different to do with friends and family.Written 2 December 2024
- SaltyBug0 contributionsDiscover Perth the fun wayI always enjoy the walking tours by Oh Hey WA. If you want to experience the city but you're a bit short on time then this new condensed version of the Perth City Highlights Tour is a great option. It's packed with fun information and you'll get to see a great portion of this beautiful city of ours. This tour is fantastic for everyone, whether you're looking for a creative idea for a date, hanging with friends or want to take your kids on an educational trip around the city, it's a really fun experience.Written 2 December 2024
- 877zakr0 contributionsFantastic way to learn about Perth in a jiffy!I felt like this tour was brilliant for giving an insight into the best of Perth all within just 90 minutes. As a local, there was lots that I didn't know about my own city, and some little tid-bits I will be gleefully sharing like a poorly-kept secret with friends for years to come. For the time-poor, this is a great alternative to the 3-hour offering from these guys, providing a convenient alternative. Highly recommend this for tourists, visitors, and locals alike!Written 1 December 2024

- G3014SYmickb0 contributionsFantastic night out with O’Hey W.A.We would like to express my sincere gratitude to O Hey WA tours for an outstanding evening spent exploring the charming small bars and seeing local artwork around the streets in the heart of Perth city (WA). The tour was exceptionally well organised and professional ensuring that everyone in our group had a fantastic experience. Amber. Our tour guide was excellent. She provided a wealth of information about the city and was a wonderful host about each bar we visited and also seeing all the different artwork on the walls and telling us about the people that done the artwork and also seeing indigenous art as well was very interesting. We also appreciate and thank you to O Hey W.A. Tours for accommodating another tour on Saturday9th of November 2024. I had some friends from Ireland and Columbia that wanted to see a little bit of art about the city and see some boutique, quirky small bar in and around some of the backstreet and lanes. We totally enjoyed the opportunity to mingling with new people share a few chuckles or two, create lasting memories together thank you O Hey WA tours and especially thank you to Amber for an unforgettable night. We all had an amazing time☘️🍀☘️Written 10 November 2024

Our guide, Alex, was terrific. She was friendly, informative and a wonderful host during our 3 hour tour of Perth. Alex pointed out so many different buildings and explained artwork & historical points of interest that we now have a great appreciation of Perth. The walking tour was a perfect way to get our bearings in a new city and we highly recommend booking a walking tour with Oh Hey WA.

A great experience on 24 October 2024, setting off from the Westin - the location of the IOP Conference due to commence there shortly after our walk: about 21 adults in the (conference) group. Our guide was the wonderful Adie Chapman. We found out at the end that Adie is a mechanical engineer by profession. She obviously challenges stereotypes with her warm, people-centric engagement with all. At the same time, we had a wonderful tour of the central parts of the 'city of lights', accompanied by fascinating anecdotes and facts provided by Adie. And we caught up with her sister, who was taking a school group on a similar tour. Adie asked us questions (engaging us) - including enquiring what we perceived in some of the wonderful street art we stopped to appreciate.

Our 3-hour Ultimate Perth Walking Tour—led by the irrepressible Adie, owner of the Oh Hey! WA tour company—was like discovering a secret garden within the bustling heart of Perth. We started on a bright morning with Adie telling stories of Perth's past and present. These stories built on each other to create a narrative of the city that included all of its facets, from the aboriginal past to the historical events of the colonial era to the modern vibrancy of today’s world-class city.
Adie's infectious enthusiasm and expertise shone brightest when revealing hidden gems of the city, whispered secrets that only a local's local would know. Her tips on the finest coffee shops or the tastiest hidden dinner spots or the best vantage points for breathtaking views were invaluable. What made the tour truly unforgettable was her ability to connect with each of us, ensuring that the experience was not just a tour but a shared journey. Her passion for Perth is contagious.
This immersive tour is a must for tourists—and I’m willing to bet locals would get a lot out of it, too. Go!

On a rainy winter morning in Perth CBD, we were sheltering under the umbrella at the base of the Perth Digital Tower in Yagan Square. Alex bounded up to us with the most sincere and effervescent smile and warm energy that we knew we were in for a good tour. Her open sincerity and enthusiasm for the stories she told totally made the tour. It was great to learn about the First Nations and geographical history of this place, and how that is being honoured in the artworks and contemporary architecture of the city. We darted into ‘activated laneways’ with their vibrant murals and explored arcades with tiny interesting and tiny shops owned and operated by locals…and great coffee! I highly recommend this company for a fun and informative tour of this lovely and very walkable city.

Alex is so enthusiastic to share the history, architecture, and art of Perth with her true love. She provides great insights about the city's vibrant downtown area. The experience would be even more perfect if the weather cooperates with us, it was so windy with rain on the tour date. Definitely a recommended walking tour, as strolling through Perth's downtown with its stunning views would be an ideal way to explore the city.

Alex is a delightful guide who is very personable and knowledgeable. I did the tour yesterday and was very pleasantly surprised with her depth of knowledge of Perth. She was able to tell me a few things that I did not know about even though I am a local and also show me some sights I had never seen before. I highly recommend the tour! Acting like a tourist in your hometown is a new experience for me and felt proud of our beautiful city. How lucky we are - beautiful weather, great tour showcasing our lovely clean city. Great group of people visiting Perth too.
