Full Day Wave Rock And Historic York

Excellant tour. Frank was frienfly, attentive, informstive with an excellant knwlage of the area and its history. I feel that our comfort and needs whilst on a tour where his priority. The tour exceeded my expectations.

The tour was cancelled by the operator and it’s been 2 months now and I have not received the refund

Very rarely do I write a bad review but in this case I need to so that others do not encounter what we did with Aussie Perth Tours. Wave rock and Hippos Yawn cave are awesome but the 4 hour drive each way was at times a 'White Knuckle' Ride in a 10 seater coach with inadequate air conditioning for an all day trip. However that is insignificant when you compare it to the driving standards of our male and female driver. On the way to Wave Rock, the 'sharing' drivers were going so fast and overtaking at breakneck speeds that we had to shut our eyes, especially when a 'Road Train' had to move off road into the dirt to avoid our coach. The speed was so high, I could not see the indicator on the speedometer, but I could see up to the 140 km/h mark. We had to screenshot Google maps to get a speed reading and a picture is included showing 134 km/h. On the return journey, the speed was again 120 km/h minimum for most of the non urban driving. Several times the vehicle drifted either over the centre white lines or int the dirt on the side of the road narrowly missing markers and barriers. Again, I have included a photo of the driver driving at 120 km/h. Other things to note about this tour: 1. It was impossible to hear the audio most of the time. We kept having to say, 'We cannot hear you'. Also their audio kept cutting out and the radio kept interrupting. 2. When we did hear the audio, it was monotone, bland and at times useless eg. 'Here is a train station that people can get on and off at', 'Here is a caravan park that people can stay at'. At times it was just pointing out the blooming obvious. 3. When joining the coach, there were no introductions or friendly welcome. There was no rapport with the drivers/tour hosts. 4. 35 degree heat plus, and the driver had his window open making the air conditioning for the people in the back ineffective. When asked to close the window we found out the air conditioning was useless leaving us all hot and sweaty for the day. 5. When asked about the air conditioning not being adequate, it was palmed off as, 'Sorry but it is a very hot day and coaches are not designed to cope with this excessive heat'. This is PERTH and it has excessive heat!!!

Lovely experience with wonderful people. Very comfortable and well organized day trip. Great journey with a coffee and comfort break in the way to York and photo op at the canola fields on the return journey. Day well spent and will definitely do more trips.

Had a fantastic tour with Fred and Fiona to the Wave Rock. Very knowledgeable and funny guides. Would highly recommend this tour company!

Everything was perfect. Very good driver and guide. Very kind people always at your disposal tò satisfy customers. Thanks you very much for your job

Local tour operator running smaller tours so if you want to avoid the big buses, this is the guide for you. Have a good selection of tours and are professional and flexible (I booked for 4 of the tours).

The tour did not provide the included items which were listed . No guide/ live commentary. We were all confused where to go , how to plan to visit the wave rock ( all three main sections) so we missed yawing hippo and the wave rock out look. We just managed to visit the wave rocks and take photos. There were different item as National park on our included list to visit; never happened. If this was meant to be the area around wave rock , we definitely missed it as we did not know where to go. Not enough time given at the wave rock , it was suppose be 60 minutes at rocks , we had only 40 minutes , and no guide ! So we missed the main part of this trip. Terrible temperature/ aircon in the minibus , either too freezing cold or too hot to sweat ! Driver was 20 minutes late in morning, No call, or text, or any kind of communication just to let us know that he was going to be late . I was confused that he could have forgotten to pick up us . He had no single word as a simple apology. Not suitable for a tour driver ! We felt we were at a Trans Perth minibus! No voice , no musics, even no radio !! This tour was way too expensive with very low quality. I chose this only due to timing and date ; my daughter’s birthday. It was the worst ever trip we had. For such a long road trip , people get exhausted , this would be even much worse when you miss the main parts of the trip .and you only pay for a fruitless, expensive, tiring trip. Complete waste of time , money .

We enjoyed ourselves through out the journey with Kia. He was a great guide & very informative on Wave Rock & wild creatures as we saw them along the way ;) keep it up, Kia! Thanks for making this trip with great memories for all of us :)

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.

Interesting driver/guide. Trip very long and Wave Rock was perhaps too far for one day. About 1 hour late getting back. Otherwise an interesting trip.

Friends and I visited were on this tour on 14 November 2022. Our tour guide Kia was superb. He was very knowledgeable, kind, friendly and professional. He offered local Tim Tams and mint milk so that we could have a taste of local food. He volunteered himself to help with photo taken and even laid on ground to take better shots. He understands our needs and always allows sufficient time to visit each element while managing schedule. In order to keep us entertained, he was telling some interesting local stories and introduced some Western Aus music on this long trip. He also keeps seeking ways to improve any services for future guests. He was very impressive. We had a small hiccup with arrangement. The Aussis Perth Tour was very helpful in resolving the issue. I would recommend the Aussis Perth Tour to anyone who wants to see wave rock.

We have not done this tour yet , as it was cancelled and is expected to be rescheduled for this coming Wednesday 17th August, hopefully.

I received the email and text message of the confirmation including pick up location and pick up time. However, nobody did the pickup for me and the phone number of Aussie Perth Tour wasn’t working. How can I be charged for the tour fee?

York was lovely, Wave Rock not surrounded by sand as I first thought but great to be able to walk round. Driver very hospitable. All in all a very productive day. Thank you Viator staff

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.

He was really really nice and good at explaining all the tings. Also, his driving was really good and make people comfortable.

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.

The tour guide was very engaging and shared interesting facts about the tour. We absolutely loved the countryside. It was refreshing and relaxing. The wave rock and the yawn hippo cave were the main highlights of the tour. I have never seen anything like wave rock before. It is very unique.

Besutiful scenery along the way. Tour Guide cum driver is a super friendly and a wonderful guy. Waverock is awesome. Definitely worth the long trip. York is quaint but the stop is too brief. The dog cementery should be scrap. Too many flies and not much to see. Overall a good trip perhaps can be improved with a more comfortable coach.

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.

To finally see Wave Rock was amazing and another item ticked off my bucket list. Be prepared for a very long day however. A few of us on the tour said we could’ve foregone the dog cemetery visit as it took time away from Wave Rock and was not that interesting. It would’ve been nice to have that extra half hour at the Rock to walk to the top, read all the info and check out the view and perhaps walk to Hippos Yawn from there to stretch our legs. It was very rushed I felt. Also book on-line. If you walk in off the street they charge some extra fee which I could not quite understand why as I used an eftpos card not a credit card! I was not told of this extra fee until after he’d processed my card at the back of the office where I couldn’t see him do it otherwise I would’ve walked across the street to the eftpos machine and given him cash. Nobody else on my trip paid the extra but, they’d booked on line. Aside from that though well worth a day out and I’m glad I went as I met some lovely people.

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!

I hooked a tour to Wave Rock with Aussie Perth tours, unfortunately the company did not reach the minimum amount of participants to run the tour, however they assisted me very kindly and professionally and booked a tour for the same day with another company, I had to pay only a small amount to cover the upper price of the other company. The tour itself was great, very informative and with perfect timing given to every activity scheduled. Thank you!!

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.

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.

Me and my family went to Wave Rock with Aussie Perth Tours and had an amazing day on the tour. Our tour guide was very friendly and knew a lot about the places we visited. The organisation of the tour was very smooth and we only had to wait a few minutes at our hotel before we got picked up.
