Excellent trip through Autopia travels with a very well educated tour guide Anelise. Three stops on route to the Pinnacles followed by a lovely walk round the pinnacles and excellent food. Got to see Saturn and its rings through the telescope and the moon but unfortunately it was to cloudy to the south to see Venus, milkway etc.

    Not Worth It

    Sam_M, Nov 2026
    Generally I believe it wasn’t worth the top dollar I paid. Too many unnecessary stops on the way in which delayed our return and didn’t offer anything worthwhile to see. Plus the dinner was processed supermarket junk. Driver also got somewhat uptight and combative with me when I asked to be dropped off at a more convenient location during our return when almost every other passenger had their request accommodated.

    Pinnacles

    Sherri_H, Oct 2026
    This was a very long excursion but well worth it. Our tour guide, Annalys, was wonderful. She is very knowledgeable and explained each destination very well. The pinnacle desert was the highlight and was very impressive

    Response from Host, Oct 2026

    Thanks for the lovely review! We’re glad you enjoyed the Pinnacles and found the journey worthwhile. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Annalys! 😊

    Stunning!

    Alison_O, Oct 2026
    Wow what an amazing experience. We felt very blessed to be able to visit such a unique area of Australia. We had the wonderful Annalise (I apologise for the spelling) as our guide and she was phenomenal. Incredibly patient and very knowledgeable. The star gazing after the lovely dinner displayed her patience when some of the travellers challenged her knowledge (she was 100% correct of course). I really enjoyed listening to the stories she was retelling during the drives in between stops and she even added in a special little stop as we were running early. Thank you so much for making our experience so wonderful!

    Response from Host, Oct 2026

    Thank you for such a lovely review! We’re thrilled you had such a memorable experience and that Annalise made the tour extra special. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to her! 😊

    The Pinnacles

    Marilyn_R, Oct 2026
    My daughter and I went on this tour. We both enjoyed it very much. The stops on the way and the commentary were great. We were served a fantastic dinner at dusk, pity the weather was the best but that didn't stop us from having a great time. I would go again.

    Response from Host, Oct 2026

    Thanks for the lovely review! We’re so glad you and your daughter had a great time and enjoyed the stops, commentary and dinner. We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure! 😊

    This was a fantastic trip! I highly recommend! We had the lovely Erin as our tour guide and she was very friendly and communicated lots to the group to make us all feel excited and comfortable! The bus drive was made interesting with lots of facts about Australia! The evening picnic was lovely and tasty with lots of selection! The stargazing was very interesting and full of interesting space facts! Loved it!

    Uncomfortable

    Lisa_G, Oct 2026
    The tour itself was good. Pinnacles were pretty cool and the star gazing was good. The reason for the 2 stars is because of the bus. My husband and I were Struggling to fit into the seats. If you are small framed and 100 pounds, no problem. I have a bruise on my bum because I had To sit on the belt buckle. I’m not a large person. Our shoulders overlapped and there was absolutely no way to get comfy in the seats. Also, no place to put the backpack. It was really hard to enjoy the tour being uncomfortable, especially when it’s a long drive.

    Response from Host, Oct 2026

    Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the Pinnacles and stargazing, but we’re sorry the seating and lack of storage made the journey uncomfortable. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will share your comments with our team.

    Erin was a great guide!...

    Marina_z, Oct 2026
    Erin was a great guide! Informative but fun and entertaining at the same time! The pinnacles and star gazing parts of the visit were the most interesting.

    Disappointing Experience, Not what we expected and paid for

    Geraldine_A, Sep 2026
    1. As we arrived in Perth previous day I sent an email to re confirm pick up location and never received a re confirmation response. We have to contact the company 10 min before departure time. 2.Tour guide did not communicate properly as to the viewpoint of sunset , we missed it which was one of the purpose of the trip. And was very disappointed. 3.we were told dinner will be served at 6.30pm after sunset , when we arrived 6.20pm except us all others had starterd,and finishing , we did not have a plate and some food items such cheese , pastas salad all finished , being one person vegetarian there was no water provided during the tour or at the dinner all that was provided was alcohol and juice which she doesn’t drink , no water was provided being a hot day and the length of the tour , this is basic requirement as all our other tours where water was provided 4.during dinner time another group also joined and shared in the dinner which we were not aware of we wanted to be with our group and have the dinner which resulted in being too crowded 5. Picked up at 14 mill street , we expected to be dropped off same location , instead we were dropped on a cross street just before the traffic light which is unacceptable

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Thank you for your detailed feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you experienced. We regret the lack of re-confirmation prior to the tour, the guide’s insufficient communication about the sunset viewpoint, and the issues with dinner timing, food availability, and water provision, especially on a hot day. We also apologize for the confusion caused by another group joining during dinner and the discrepancy in the drop-off location. Your comments are invaluable for us to improve our services, and we truly appreciate your honesty. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.

    Stargazing lights

    The ride to the site...

    Quan_N, Jun 2026
    Quite a long ride but the final destination was definitely authentic and worth the time. Besides the main attraction, there was also plenty of other activities such as a pre-organized buffet at the Pinnacles parking lot and stargazing. Our tour guide, Anneliese, was very nice, informative, and equally as enthusiastic as every other tourist, so the overall trip felt even more enjoyable because of that. What to consider: the ride to the desert might take a long time, so it's best to bring along 1-2 700ml bottles of water (despite refilling stations at included pit stops) and to consider the weather, so as not to be under/over-prepared in terms of clothing.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you so much for sharing your detailed feedback! We're delighted to hear that the destination felt authentic and that the additional activities like the buffet and stargazing enhanced your experience. We're also glad you appreciated Anneliese's enthusiasm and knowledge—she truly enjoys making sure everyone has a memorable trip. We appreciate your practical tips about bringing water and dressing appropriately for the weather; they'll certainly help future travelers have an even more comfortable and enjoyable journey. Your insights are invaluable, and we're grateful for your thoughtful comments. We look forward to welcoming you back on another adventure!

    Peaking at the Pinnacles

    Arka_G, Jun 2026
    Amazing experience band our guide Alisa was awesome. The bus ride was scenic and smooth, really enjoyed the informative tapis by our guide which really brought the spots to life. Although we couldn't quite see the the stars since it was a cloudy might but we did manage to see a few kangaroos which Kore than made up for it.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s fantastic to hear that you had an amazing time and that Alisa, your guide, was awesome. The scenic and smooth bus ride sounds like a great way to enjoy the journey, and the informative commentary really helped bring the spots to life. Although the cloudy sky prevented a star view, it’s great that you were able to see a few kangaroos-more than enough to make the trip special. It sounds like a memorable adventure!

    Great experience

    Karel_K, Jun 2026

    Roslyn_B, Jun 2026
    This tour was absolutely amazing & we would like to thank Annaliese (sorry, not sure of spelling) for sharing her wealth of knowledge on the Perth & surrounding areas. Our day was totally made when two kangaroos hopped on by, as we were walking out of the Pinnacles Desert. The picnic dinner that Annaliese prepared was very generous & much appreciated. Also your star gazing knowledge made the night extremely enjoyable, thank you so much for everything Annaliese, you're the best!!

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you so much for your heartfelt feedback! We're delighted to hear that you had an amazing tour experience and that Annaliese (she's wonderful!) shared her extensive knowledge of Perth and the surrounding areas, making your day even more special. How wonderful that two kangaroos hopped by as you were leaving the Pinnacles Desert - a truly memorable moment! We're also pleased the picnic dinner was appreciated and that her star gazing expertise helped make the night so enjoyable. Annaliese will be thrilled to hear your kind words. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope to see you on another adventure soon!

    Room for improvement

    LeeAnne_T, May 2026
    Nice new vehicle and polite guide. We stopped at a small coastal town for a rest break and were advised to buy water from the general store as it was not provided. The second stop at a burnt out wildflower meadow seemed a pit pointless as the only thing to see was charred plants and there were no toilets at this stop. When we reached the pinnacles the guide pointed towards the discovery centre and the path towards the limestone formations. She did not accompany us and instead began setting up our picnic next to the car park. I noticed other tours had driven into the reserve as I was walking around: Dinner was simple supermarket salads and deli meats. There wasn’t enough room for everyone to sit a table and some of us ended up perched on a cold concrete fence to eat dinner: The star gazing was good and the guide was able to point out the planets and constellations. It was not as dark as it could have been as we were next to the carpark with people constantly coming and going.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We appreciate your honesty, as it helps us improve our future tours. We're glad you found the vehicle comfortable and the guide polite. However, we're sorry to hear that some aspects of the experience didn’t meet your expectations. The stop at the burnt-out meadow and the picnic setup may have felt underwhelming, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused by the lack of amenities and the setup process. We're pleased to hear that the star gazing was enjoyable, even if the lighting conditions weren’t ideal. Your comments about the meal arrangements and the timing at the Pinnacles are very helpful, and we will take them into consideration to enhance future experiences. Thank you again for your insights!
