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.

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.
