We are an older couple (70+) and we thoroughly enjoyed our amazing tour with our guide and driver Geoff. His enthusiasm and energy made our trip exceptional. We visited all the major attractions and partook in all the activities on offer. We highly recommend this tour if you don’t want to drive the long distances.

I had the absolute best time on this tour! My bus was a fantastic group, the nature was unreal, and honestly the biggest shoutout to Danny, our guide for the trip. Danny ensured that we always had a good time, felt comfortable, and felt beyond welcomed in the group. I have dietary restrictions and Danny went above and beyond to ensure I was well fed and not tummy sore from eating something that wouldn’t sit well with me. He made the bus feel like family and for that I’m forever grateful! I’m so sad this tour is over but I know I’ve made friends I’ll keep in touch with for life!
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Hi Jenna,

His commitment to ensuring everyone feels comfortable and welcomed truly makes a difference. It’s wonderful to know you not only enjoyed the stunning nature but also made lasting friendships!
We’d love to have you back for another adventure in the future!
Kind regards,

A fabulous 7 day tour seeing WA!
Our tour guide Geoff was exceptional, he was knowledgeable about all our visiting locations, aboriginal history and wildlife seen on tour. He was friendly, shared great stories with us and kept us all organised!
We had a great group of fellow travellers, with a wide age range but everyone was friendly and by the end we all felt like good friends! The tour involves travellers helping to prepare meals and clean up together but this really encourages getting to know each other and feeling less like strangers.
The tour covers a vast distance of WA so expect long hours on the bus! However the places visited are worth the journey.
So glad I did this tour as part of my travellers in Australia! Made memories I won't forget!
Response from Host, Oct 2024

We're so glad to hear that Geoff made such a positive impact on your tour with his knowledge and friendliness! We also think it's incredible to hear that yo've connected with your fellow travelers on this extended tour, must have made the trip even more fun!
And yes, we do cover long distances but they do lead to some incredible destinations! We're thrilled you made unforgettable memories during your travels and we hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!

What an amazing trip! Danny, our tour leader, made it fun the very second we stepped on the bus. He was engaging, knowledgeable, reliable and just hilarious. There was a lot of driving (but that’s just Australia) but the bus was comfortable and the destinations were worth it. We were transported to the most remote places and saw every wildlife on our list from a red kangaroo to turtles, dolphins, manta rays, reef sharks, tiger sharks, snd Danny even stopped the bus to catch a brown snake slither into the desert. Food was tasty and plentiful too.
Response from Host, May 2024
Hey There Maryane,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a positive review.
We are pleased that Danny was reliable as he was entertaining and that you had such a memorable experience.
Kind Regards,

A fantastic trip along the coast of WA. Sure there is a lot of driving but there are great rewards a Long the Way. Day 4 and 5 on the sea is amazing. There were great coral Fish, Sharks, Mantareys, turtles and whaleshark. Lots of big memories for life. A great Way to travel and with good community and in parts of WA that are really special.

The whole week was fantastic from start to finish. Our guide Brianna made the trip for us outstanding. Funny, knowledgeable, a great driver, were just some of her attributes. Maybe some of the accommodation could be tweaked a little but overall a five star experience
Larysa_D, Nov 2023
This was outstanding and memorable tour with Laura the guide! I will remember it for the rest of my life! All stops on the tour were special. Laura has been a brilliant guide - knowledgeable and very helpful in all situations. This tour would not be the same without Laura the guide. Laura, Thank you so much, You are STAR!!!

Gus and Alyssa were terrific guides showing us all these hidden treasures up the western coast of Australia. They definitely hit the top sites to see all the way to Exmouth and best of all we got to leave the driving to them! Thanks mates!

The bus went well, very uncomfortable for a long distance as there was no leg room.
The driver was a very experienced driver and knew a great deal about the area.
The accommodation varied, we paid an extra $495.00 each to have our own room. Some of the accommodation was unacceptable as there was mould in the bathrooms and missing mirror on the shaving cabinet.
The food was good, the bus driver had to cook, shop and drive.
Rhonda_K, Jun 2022
Fun packed 7days buSy but well worth it. Gus was funny,organised and provided not only interesting facts but plenty of options every day.He was always on time, and explained the everyday activities. The weather was kind to us and we have had some unforgettable experiences to tick off our bucket list . Accomodation was great we were comfortable and value for money.A lot of driving but plenty of breaks so many amazing sights. So happy we did it great company as well and Gus was a fantastic guide considering it was his first time,would totally recommend it to anyone.

Swimming and snorkeling in Exmouth was certainly the highlight of this amazing trip.
A great trip to see some incredible places without the stress of driving yourself.

Un groupe très hétérogène et très sympathique conduit par un guide (Montgomery dit « Monty ») aussi joyeux et attentif qu’efficace.
Response from Host, Apr 2025

Eine sehr anstrengende Tour...einfach 1500 km...3000 in einer Woche..das war mir nicht bewusst. Unser Guide war auch gleichzeitig die Fahrerin..und das bei diesen Entfernungen...das Essen war nicht gut... jeden Tag gab es das gleiche...Toastbrot mit Marmelade, mittags Wraps mit gleichem Inhalt, abends Nudeln oder Reis. Die Unterkünfte waren Recht unterschiedlich, aber ich wusste das ich mich auf ein 12 Bett Zimmer einlasse. Alle Ausflüge müssen extra bezahlt werden. Leider war das Wetter eher bescheiden wofür keiner was kann. Erholsam ist diese Tour sicher nicht. Man sieht viel, allerdings immer sehr kurz...wenn andere aus der Gruppe extra Ausflüge machen möchten müssen die anderen warten...ich hab zwar viel gesehen..würde es aber nicht nochmal machen. Obwohl ich seit 10 Monaten englischsprachig unterwegs war habe ich fast nichts verstanden und musste immer nachfragen. Insgesamt sehr teuer für das was ich gesehen und erlebt habe.

G'day,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review for us! We appreciate the feedback. We're sorry to hear that this tour was not exactly what you had been waiting and hoping for.
It's also a shame that the weather wasn't on your side during the tour. We hope that you still had a good time during some parts of the tour. And yes, your driver is also your tour guide as they have a various set of skills. We try to include everyone on our tours, so we're also sorry if the australian accents were not as understandable as you had imagined.
Once again, we are very sorry that this tour hadn't met your expectations but we would love to have you back on tour in the future!
Kindest regards,
Autopia Tours
