        Interesting and fun!
        Fred was a great guide! He was friendly and knowledgeable! We had a wine tasting and visited a delicious chocolate factory. The wildlife park was great — saw animals we hoped to see in Australia — kangaroos, koalas, and Tasmanian devils. Fun afternoon!

        Relaxed and informative half day tour from Perth.
        Interesting cave and good views of kangaroos and koalas. The cave guide was very knowledgeable. Also learnt a lot from the tour guide. Half a day was about right for this tour. Can also combine it with a visit to the Pinnacles desert to make a full day but I didn’t do it as I’d been to the desert before. Hotel pickup was very convenient.

        Terrible Day Tour -- Full Day Yanchep National Park, Cave & Hillarys
        Me and my wife was in Perth for 9 days and had signed up for a number of day trips covering all the major points of interests, including Pinnacles, Margaret River, Wave Rock etc. Then, we had one free day, which we decided to fill by taking this full day Yanchep tour with cave and visit to Hillarys. We were a bit apprehensive at first because the price was quite hefty, AUD$200+, that doesn't include any meals, or expensive entry tickets. Nonetheless, since we had time to kill, we went for it, hoping for the best. The tour didn't start well. I tried to call and confirm the pick up time and location, and also inform Aussie Perth Tours about a potential road closure at my hotel. Nobody bothered to reply to my message and calls were engaged all the time. The driver came to pick us up at 9am. We were shocked to learn that we were the only 2 customers. That didn't bode well ...... As it turned out, this is the most over-sold, and over-priced tours I had in Perth. Along the way, commentary was minimal, almost non existent. The places we visited were anything but interesting. The cave tour was boring, very badly lit, and the guide was basically talking to himself most of the time. Then, the driver dropped us at a spot in Yanchep Park, telling us to roam around for 15 min, without telling us anything else -- eg the significance of the place, or what to see or do. So we wondered off, trying to spend the 15 minutes meaningfully. Basically there is nothing to see or do. We went back to the van, and the driver wasn't even there. 8 minutes later, he returned to the van, with his breakfast. I guess the spot was chosen so that he can get his breakfast? Then, a short distance drive later, we arrived at the Koala place. All the koalas were all high up in the trees. Nothing to see there. Then, the driver said to drive us to another place, without saying what is there. I thought we were supposed to have some kind of bushwalk or something or see some kangaroos in the wild, like what the tour description said .... but no. We arrived at this park. Again, he dropped us off, and told us to roam around for 30 mins, again, without offering more information about the significance of the place, what to do, what to see. Again, we had to try to spend 30 minutes of our time meaningfully at this park, which we failed. After the agonizing 30 minutes passed, he drove us to the Hillarys. After telling us there are food places in the mall, and there is this Aqua place we can visit (tickets not included), he again dropped us off, without any further information. He then said another van will pick us up and return us to the hotel at 3:30pm. If we ended up earlier, we can call them to send a driver early. The marina was nice, but the mall was very run-down. Nothing to shop there and nothing much to eat. Again, we had to somehow stretch our time to fill up the 2.5 hours we have. Again, we failed because there is simply nothing to do there. (The Aqua tickets were expensive. We are not doing to spend more $$ after spending $200+ each pax for this useless tour). After lunch, we couldn't stand it any longer and called them to pick us up at 3:15pm. In summary, this tour is the worst !!!!! DO NOT sign up for this tour. This is the MOST OVERSOLD and OVERPRICED tour. Considering the fact that a full day Wave Rock tour (by another agency) costs $200+ person, covered 10+ hours of driving (this tour only covers 2+ hours of driving), and included lunch (this tour doesn't include any meals. The only entry was to Yanchep which is just A$17 per vehicle).

        Fantastic half day in Caversham Wildlife Park and Swan Valley
        Fantastic experience in Caversham Wildlife Park and Swan Valley. Mary of Aussie Perth tours gave us possibility to fully appreciate Wildlife Park according to our interests. We also had possibility to have good wine and chocolate tasting in two farms of Swan Valley. We suggest to do this tour with Aussie Perth tours.

        Half-Day Swan Valley & Wildlife Park Tour, a pleasant surprise short journey
        My friend arranged this half day tour for me, on the understanding that I had just taken a long and exhausting 18-day journey from Darwin to Broome. a flight from Broome to Perth and a 4-day tour to the Pink Lake area. It looks as if a simple and easy trip but it came out as a small pleasant surprise to me that I could see so much within such a short time (half-day). I was fortunate to have an excellent guided service to the Swan Valley & Wildlife Park. Throughoout the journey, the guide had provided detailed information to me, showed me the shortest route in the wild life park to see the most within the shortest time. She also arranged the photo sessions with the wild animals quickly, saving us much of the waiting time. My wife and I really appreciate the high standard of care and detailed information provided to us. She also looked after our comfort in the car and she drove very well. Everything is well organised. The only regret is that it is a half-day tour and I had too little time to stay in the wild life park for more photos (though I had taken 702 photos already). Another pleasant surprise is the that the guide took almost 40 photos for us, which are all well-taken and now I finally have some good photos with both me and my wife appearing in the same frame. A most memorable half-day tour before I rushed to the West Australia Museum in the afternoon!

        Yanchep National Park
        The Yanchep National Park is indeed a jewel in the crown of Perth's tourist destinations. The plant life and wildlife are captivating, the Crystal Cave is amazing and the historical Chocolate Drops Cafe and the Yanchep Inn provide a delightful setting for a meal. One big drawback, which should be made clear to all potential visitors is, that unlike most attractions, the Park IS NOT, accessible by public transport and, while the new train service will take you to the Yanchep Station, from then on, you're on your own unless you want to make what would an extremely long hike.

        A very short visit with a lot of places being skipped
        The tour had done a quick tour of a few section of East Perth & the weekend market in Fremantle, skipped Kings Park & Swan River. It really doesn’t worth it.

        See a lot of wildlife
        The trip was fantastic. We see kangaroos, koalas and even black cockatoos in Yanchep. The cave was also amazing. It was great to see the cave. Our guide makes a lot of pictures of us, so that was very nice

        Disappointment
        I had booked to visit the Caversham Wildlife Park, followed by a wine growing place and a chocolate factory but the visits were limited to being accompanied by a driver, no visit to how chocolate is made (the factory) and for wine the same, no wine cellar visits. In short, I'm very disappointed, it's not what I expected. The only good thing was the kindness of the guide, the driver of the minibus.

        The 4-day itinerary was fantastic, featuring numerous unforgettable sceneries. The tour guide was excellent, providing explanations along the way and taking many photos for us. The only regret is that the entire itinerary did not include meals.

        A dream tour
        We had such a great time, we were lucky enough to be the only ones on this tour but Fred and Fiona made it special. Saw everything and more of what we’d hoped, will do another with them on our next trip to WA and Perth. Found some new places for them to try, beaches, sights, loved the Anzac Centre in Albany, just needed a bit more time here and have suggested that 2 nights in Albany would be better. Thank you

        Seeing Perth for the first time
        Very friendly and very knowledgeable. They picked us up on time and got us to all of the spots we wanted to go to. We were able to stop at a couple of places we wanted to (including the beach!) and even took us to a second winery. Huge thumbs up!

      We stayed in a suburb campsite near Perth and they picked us up from there (and back) for the 12 hours wave-rock-tour. Newer minibus, excellent driver, not one uncomfortable situation during the hole day. Long ride - recommendable.

      We took two different full-day tours of this company - to the Wave Rock and to the Margaret River. We really liked it. Good organization and communication with the guide. A few words about our amazing guide and driver. Kea is nice, knowledgeable, caring person. He took care of us during all the way. He told interesting stories from the life of both modern Western Australia and historical facts. He was happy to answer all our questions. He made our trips unforgettable. Thank you, Kea. We really appreciate your help and engagement.

      My brother and I did this tour on 6th March 2020. It was worth the very long drive as on the way there, it was broken up by visiting Historic York, the Dog Cemetery and the failed rabbit fencing, all really interesting. Lunch was average at best. Think I would have preferred to pay less and take my own being honest. We also saw Hippo Rock which I loved before getting to the wave. Our guide was helpful but there was only 4 of us. The other couple were not really talkative so it made for awkward silences. Anyway, it was worth the 8 hours spent travelling.

      Though the Wave rock is interesting. The ride there is LONG and BORING!
      As for stopping in Historic York, it is only for a bathroom break, I did not even have time to take out my camera.
      Why we stopped at a dog cemetary is beyond me! It was devastating!!! I am a pet lover and I could not stop crying reading each stone, I almost had a full breakdown on the bus.
      The tour guide said there was nothing to reaaly say about all the famrmland, do he didn't say a thing.
      On a good note, he did make sure to get me a lunch to accomidate my food allergies, which the cafe made special just for me.
      When we got to wave rock, he just left us to get petrol, did not explain the phenonenom, told us we could read it on the boards, but then he gave us a time limit to get back to the bus, to couldn't really read it at all.
      In hindsight, I would have saved this day and spent 2 days in Freemantle, which is a more interesting place to visit.

      Gday Meryl - Thanks for your review for Wave rock. Yes sadly the Rock is a bit far to travel, but we cannot do anything about it.It is a unique natures phenomenon which people travel from across the world to view. The brochure & website informs everyone time of departing city & return times etc. The Dog cemetery being an emotional thing for you is noted. Sadly every persons different and we do empathize with your emotions. Being a long trip we do have to maintain the times. Hope you Have a great day

      If you would like to discover the beautiful out back of Australia, hop on this full day tour. The highlight is at the furtherest point , Wave rock. It is well worth the drive.
      We were lucky to have the wonderful guide Mark .Along with recent historical facts about the towns etc, he willingly shared his personal knowledge of the aboriginal people who were the first people to arrive in Australia .Because we were only a small group he was able to stop and point out interesting pop ups, such as a blue tongue sunbathing on the roadside. We highly recommend this tour.

      I have booked 2 tours with Aussie Perth Tours. The wave rock tour has pushed through but the Pinnacles tour didn't reach the minimum capacity of people for it to happen. However, the company has coordinated with me and I was booked to another company. I am pleased with the service I have received. It is unfair to give bad reviews to this company because I received the best service. Graham is our tour guide. He is very informative, kind and professional. The city of York is interesting, Graham has pointed out a lovely Vietnamese store with great tasting pies. The wave rock is stunning on its own right. It's my first time to see a dog cemetery. Overall it was a wonderful to spend as it is my birthday. I recommened Aussie perth tours!

      We took 2 tours with Aussie Perth Tours, Full day Wave Rock & Historic York, and Overnight Tour to Margaret River & Augusta.
      Both tours were excellent. Our Guide and Driver Mark made the long drives very interesting by updating us with details of the areas we were driving thru. He organized a small sing-along on the coach which was fun. Could not have asked for a better tour guide.
