We had a wonderful tour with Yan from Yoyo Travel WA. She was very professional, friendly, and shared many interesting insights about the beautiful places in the southern part of Perth. Every location we visited was unique and refreshing, which made the trip even more enjoyable. It was truly a memorable experience and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Perth.

The Busselton Jetty is the longest wooden jetty in the Southern Hemisphere. Taking the train to the observatory at the end of the jetty is an absolutely wonderful experience.

Although the drive is a bit long, the attractions are well worth it. It's a little cold inside the cave, so remember to bring a jacket. The food at the winery is also delicious.

Very convenient, you can buy tickets in advance and avoid queuing on site, saving you a lot of time. I will repurchase next time if needed.

Our driver & local guide for the first 2days was Rob. He is very experienced and humourous, very timely and made our trip very enjoyable.

This tour is very relaxing and not rushed at all. It's a bus tour, and the driver is very professional, providing explanations throughout the journey. He also pays attention to where kangaroos might be along the road while driving, and slows down when there are many of them. The Mammoth Cave is definitely worth a visit. It's a pretty good tour.
