Aussie Perth Tours - East Perth, Western Australia

Neil Milton

We did a series of trips with Aussie Perth tours in the week we were in Perth. We went Tom the South West Tour ( Albany, Margaret River etc) Busselton, Mandurah, Rottnest Island and Yanchep Caves. All tours were great and Fred and Fiona made us very welcome

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.

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).

Very pleasant and knowledgeable driver who we spent 4 hours with driving Perth Fremantle. Allowed extra time at our places of interest, stopping for photo opportunities and coffees. Extremely helpful with local transport and travel hints. Thoroughly recommend. Turned our day into a wonderful experience.

Aussie Perth Tours brought us on a memorable and relaxing tour of Perth's key landmarks. I like how the tour is flexible in that we could choose where to alight to spend more time at. Our guides Fred and Fiona are very friendly, professional and experienced, and am really grateful to have been able to go on this tour. Thanks!

Booked a half day tour of Yanchep National Park on Viator, leaving at 9am, and set my hotel as the pickup point. Waited outside my hotel for over an hour (starting at 8:30), no show, called the office multiple times but even after their official opening time of 9:30 just got a dead line tone. Finally contacted Viator support, only to find out that they had cancelled and refunded my booking without telling me anything at all, and the support person - not me - was told that they couldn't accommodate me because I was going alone. If that's the case, why did you not set a minimum on the listing and allow me to book it in the first place? Extremely frustrating, I'm only in the country for a few days and I missed my opportunity to see some Australian wildlife. Suuuuuper cool.

This is a great way to experience Perth, would recommend.
We went to Caversham Wildlife Park which I got a photo with a Wombat and Koala, two wineries with tasting, chocolate factory, and the spectacular Pinnacle Desert.

Don’t waste your money on this company.Ive got reasons to my opinion;
We went on a full day wave rock and York trip today;
- Despite of “ Live commentary “which was supposed to be included in our package; we did not hear a word from the driver. He just drove the minibus as a driver with toilet breaks . There was no guide on this trip , no words that where we are , where is the next stop , how far is the next stop, let alone of any information about the place we visited. It felt as you were on a TransPerth bus .

First stop , he just dropped us at a local children playground with toilet facilities in York , which was close to the Main Street of the town .
We had a brief dropout at a look out to take photos as second stop.
Then we went to the wave rocks after a coffee. I am not sure what the tour manager means as a “ National park “which was included in our list but never happened.
- At wave rock , we were dropped off with no info or guidance to say where to go or which parts are best to check out within our short time (13:15-14:00) , so we missed the yawing hippo and the look out at wave rocks which would have taken 20 minutes to visit all.
- The temperature within the “ air conditioned vehicle” was either too freezing cold or too hot ( we were literally sweating).
- in the morning we were at the meeting point in time. However the driver was 20 minutes late, I had to contact the company to make sure he had not forgotten about us. We were expecting a quick courtesy call from him just to tell us he was going to be late ! Off course there was no apology what so ever from him.
- The price compare to other tours to wave rocks / York was very expensive ( other tours to wave rocks , and actually with more items included such as including lunch, cultural places, and more comfortable bus with proper guide are 245$ per person ) we paid 290$ per person for this trip !!I was expecting much more from this.

So this tour was definitely very expensive AND very low quality, they did not provide the necessary listed items which they advertised for this trip and were supposed to be included.
People spend time and money , and for a very long and tiring trip like this , there are minimal expectations which unfortunately were not met with today’s trip .
Definitely a big NO to this fraudulent business.
This was the worst day tour I had ever been on.

An absolute waste of money,

Thank you for reply Perth tour !on 10/09/24.
I’m writing in response to your comments about my dissatisfaction,
1- There was no coach captain dear. If you were supposed to provide a “ Coach “ captain “, there was only a driver who was the most silent person I ever seen , no coach, no captain!!
Having said that, the Live Commentary was again listed on this specific tour.
If you advertise something and can’t provide it, this is an absolute scam.
Also your driver told us , there was usually a guide on the bus but on that day , he was sick. There we go ! Witness !

2-if there was no national park on this tour , then you should take this off your list on this specific tour.
Again, if you list an item on a tour, and you can’t provide it or it’s unreal or it’s unavailable, then you should remove it from the list, otherwise it is called SCAM.
3- if you use your brain to answer questions, you won’t be that rude to ask people if they felt cold and sweat at the same time . The aircon temperature was changed from very cold freezing to very hot and very uncomfortable everyone became sweaty. So , I wonder if you first think then talk . Or just say whatever comes to your tongue about hot and cold.
You should be proud of your tour which hits the worst spectrum of the quality.
You tried to call me at 7:00 am in the morning on the day after the tour completed, can I ask you what for ?! Wasn’t your call to make sure people wouldn’t post the real issues about your dodgy serviceI’m sure you wouldn’t call people at 7 am to get there compliments about yourself , would you ?!
Easy to know how dodgy is your service.
