Perth’s History, But Make It Fabulous! Step aside, ordinary history lessons - Famous Sharron’s historical walking tour of Perth is here to give you brains, bling, and a whole lot of laughs!

This isn’t your typical stroll through the city, it’s a fabulously immersive silent disco adventure brimming with scandal, sass, and surprising stories about Perth’s colourful past. What makes this tour truly special is its inclusivity. The group was a mix of ages and fitness levels, and the pace was accessible to everyone.

The seamless combination of music, movement, and Sharron’s larger-than-life personality made it unforgettable. Created by Monique Boucher, founder of Hidden deTours, the tour is a meticulous blend of unusual yet verified historical facts delivered with Sharron’s over-the-top charisma.

From tales of Perth’s early settlers and their wild escapades to brothels, drugs, and crime, Sharron dishes out Perth’s past with the flair of a true diva. It’s not just history - it’s entertainment at its finest. One of the most refreshing aspects of this tour is its audience engagement. Equipped with silent disco headphones, the group grooves through Perth and Northbridge to a perfectly curated playlist of bangers that match the stories being told.

Whether it’s learning about the city’s original 'cashed-up bogans' or discovering that Perth is shaped like a mullet - business in the front, party in the back - the experience is equal parts hilarious and educational.

If you’re looking for a fun, interactive, and completely unique way to explore Perth, Famous Sharron’s historical walking tour is an absolute must. It’s a reminder that history doesn’t have to be boring - it can be fabulous!
