Reliable local operator - 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).

Wonderful Vacation - 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.

Impressive tour guide from Aussis Perth Tour - 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.

Interesting driver/guide.... - 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.

Avoid. This review may save your life. - 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!!!

They did not include the required and listed included items . Fraud. - 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 .
