I see that Barrack Street jetty is the Main Interchange. Do I have to get on there?
Not at all. We have 13 stops around the city and you are welcome to jump on board at any of them. Barrack Street Jetty is our main stop as that's where the tour changes between the red and blue routes and is the departure point for the cruise section of the Triple Tour/Deluxe & BLT to Fremantle.
Why does Barrack Street Jetty stop features on the timetable twice?
Our tour is run like a figure of 8 with Barrack Street Jetty being in the middle. The tours run off in either the red route direction or the blue route, hence the need to timetable it twice. You can jump on board at any of the times shown.
Where do I purchase the tickets?
Please book on line before you travel and hand the tickets to our friendly drivers. If you prefer you can always just pay the drivers on board the bus on the day of travel. Its always better to book the triple Tour, Triple Tour Deluxe and BLTs in advance. These tours are run jointly with 2 other companies and we like to give them our passenger numbers in advance.
Can I buy a Gift Certificate for friends and Family? It would make a great present for them.
Yes, we can send gift certificates by either e-mail or post. Please select the Gift Certificate tab under "information" along the top line.
What's the difference between the red and blue route?
The red route starts at Barrack Street Jetty and travels up to Kings Park, high on the hill overlooking the City. From there you travel around this beautiful park and then return down into the city via the west End.
The Blue route takes you through Northbridge over to the Burswood Casino and Entertainment Complex and returns via The Perth Mint.
Your ticket covers both tours and includes a tour around Kings Park.
How long does the full tour take?
If you stay on all the way round, you'll be back at your original stop just under 2 hours later. That will include the red and blue routes as well as a tour around Kings park.
Are there any toilet stops on the way round?

What happens when it rains? I don't want to get wet!
Don't worry, on wet days City Sightseeing Perth runs a double decker bus that is open topped at the back but still covered at the front upstairs. This enables you to still have a great view without getting wet. We also run this bus in the heat of the summer when some shade is needed.
Its too hot! I don't want to get sunburnt!
We've got this covered too! On the hot days of summer we run a double decker bus that has an open deck at the back and is fully covered at the front upstairs. So the great view is the same but with the flexiblity to sit in the shade when required.
How long is my ticket vaid for?
Once you've started using your ticket, it is valid for 2 consecutive days. i.e. all day today, and all day tomorrow!
Can I just buy a 1 day ticket?
The 2nd day validity on our ticket is just an added bonus and the same price as a 1 day.
Do I have to hop on hop off?
No. Many people stay on all the way round and see everything there is to see in one easy tour. Other people stay on the whole tour the first day and then use the hop on hop off facilty the next day to return to the more interesting attractions and places around Perth. Its entirely up to you how you use the ticket!
Can I bring my pram on board?
Yes, we have room for prams downstairs so long as they can be left there with the brake on.

Yes, we have room for wheelchairs on board downstairs. Please be aware that people in wheelchairs must be able to be assisted from their chairs and climb up 2 steps to board the bus.
Do you offer group discounts?
Yes, for groups over 10 people. Please call 9203 8882 for details.
Why is the frequency different to other locations? For instance, in London the buses come round every few minutes.
As you know, London has a huge number of tourists and Perth simply just can't compare. Toursit numbers in Perth are considerably lower than most major cities around the world. Running a bus every few minutes would simply put us out of business within a week!
Do I get a discount on any other City sightseeing tours around the world?
City Sightseeing are a worldwide company that have tours in almost 100 locations. Please keep your Perth Citysightseeing Bus ticket for a discount on any other tour worldwide. Alternatively you can book in advance for any of our world wide tours on the "tours" tab along the top line.
