About Peddle Perth

We are to Perth what gondolas are to Venice.

Our goal is to make the journey more fun than the destination

Life is about those little moments — those weird, hilarious, breathtaking moments — that come when you least expect them. We didn’t create Peddle to get you from A to B. We created it to give you little moment after little moment. We created it so you could focus on the journey, even if that’s only for a night. Ride with us, and you’ll laugh, learn, and laugh again. And make memories that’ll last the rest of your life.

The Origins of Peddle

In 2016, amidst the quiet routine of Perth’s nightlife, a new concept began to take shape, inspired by vibrant experiences abroad. How could Perth’s nightlife be revitalised? How could its residents be encouraged to embrace the city’s beauty and engage more openly and authentically with each other?

The answer lay in an innovative idea, inspired by the popularity of rickshaws in various global destinations and other Australian states.

This vision led to the creation of Peddle. Initially acquiring five rickshaws from Newcastle and transporting them across the Nullarbor Plain., this marked the beginning of a new era for Perth’s evening entertainment.

Peddle started modestly, but soon grew into a significant presence in the city.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with brands we’ve always looked up to — like Sunrise, Uber, and Lad Bible — and we’ve trained over 100 fantastic young people to be Perth’s best tour rickshaw riders and tour guides.

Frequently asked questions

What happens in the event of bad weather?

If the weather will significantly affect the tour, we’ll reschedule the booking. If rescheduling isn’t possible, we’ll offer you a full refund. The same goes for COVID lockdowns.

What’s your cancellation policy?

We know things happen so we have a very forgiving refund policy.

For any tour booked, if you give us 72 hours’ notice, we’ll give you a full refund of any booked tour.

For Event Activations, you must give your cancellation notice at least 30 days before the event. We’ll then offer you a credit refund.

Bookings cancelled within the above periods will not be eligible for a refund unless there are extenuating circumstances. These will be decided on a case-by-case basis by management.

What if we’re late?

If you arrive on time (or a little early), you’ll maximise the fun.

With that said, our Peddlers will typically wait 15 minutes for you to arrive and will contact you if you’re late. If there’s zero correspondence during that time, your tour will be cancelled and you won’t be entitled to a refund.

Where does the ride start?

Our Perth CBD tours start at either the WA Museum Boola Bardip or Russell Square in Northbridge.

In Freo, they start at either the Fremantle Visitor Centre or Fremantle Prison.

Please double-check the starting location when making your booking.

Can you drop us off somewhere after the event?

We can drop you off somewhere if it’s within a reasonable distance of the last stop on your tour. Just make sure you let us know ahead of time.

Do you offer gift vouchers?

Yep, we offer gift vouchers for all of our tours. You can select this option during the booking process.

How many people can fit on a Peddle?

If you look under 25, please bring your ID.
