Recommendation

Happy customers

Hear what our satisfied customers have to say.

I’ve been on a number of coach tours with other companies but definitely place Aurora at number 1. The tour to The Flinders Ranges was exceptional in providing a wide and varied expedience of this part of South Australia both in the coach and in the small planes flying over Lake Eyre and the Outback.  Rog and Ali were a great team with Rog’s impeccable driving, his knowledge and experience, and his spontaneous humour. Ali was alongside looking after us and ensured special diets were well catered for which was much appreciated.  The home pickup and handling  of luggage through airports was a bonus. I will look forward to travelling with Aurora again in the future.

I just wanted to say what a wonderful tour the recent WA Southern Loop was—Max and Aaron were fantastic, and such a great team!
Even though I might have been the “youngest” senior on the trip, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I especially appreciated the home pick-up and drop-off, the variety of activities, the chance to meet new people, the beautiful scenery, and the spacious coach with rotating seats—such thoughtful touches that made the trip really special.
Thanks again for a fantastic experience!

Hi Scott and Holly
Terry and I would like to express our thanks to your team for our tour of WA Southern Loop, which we recently returned from. Everything was well organised, from the places we visited, the tour guides, the accommodation venues and the amazing food we were served. Aaron and Max were fantastic drivers and tour guides, who not only travelled us around safely, but were informative and entertaining along the way, giving us wonderful information about the places we visited, the flora and the fauna. We had a very enjoyable holiday, saw lots of amazing sites, and had the pleasure of travelling with a great group of people. We would wholeheartedly recommend Aurora Tours to our family and friends and we look forward to our next adventure with them in March 2026.
Here is a little verse written for Aaron and Max to thank them for their efforts, help and entertainment as we travelled with them.
“Aurora Tours you have done well
We have a yarn we would like to tell.
Our tour guides Aaron and Max
Have driven us down some dusty tracks.
With stories to tell along the way
We have enjoyed their tales day by day.
Their love of nature was very clear
They named the plants as we got near.
We went to beaches with spectacular views,
Saw wildflowers, trees and even emus.
We enjoyed their banter and their talks
They even took us on tree top walks.
The town with the cows was fun to see,
with ‘oohs and aahs’ from the coach, he he.
From your “group of lovelies”
Hip Hip Hooray
Thank you for everything as we toured W.A.”

We want to thank Aurora Tours for such a great holiday. From being picked up from home being taken to our flight and the coach pick up in Perth. Everything was seamless and we all enjoyed the Tour. Our drivers Max and Aaron guided us on the tour, took us to amazing places ,telling us the backstory of where we were. The guides on the tour were terrific, giving us more information which added to our experience. The accommodation was great too and the food was excellent. We had a great time and look forward to another trip with you.  Thank you again Paul and Colleene

What a wonderful tour of the West coast!  We were very happy with the excellent choices for dinner and breakfast, and the standard of accommodation. Rog always put in so much effort to make the trip enjoyable, giving interesting information and displaying such a friendly personality to us all, as well as keeping us safe through his great driving! Ali was always checking bookings and meal arrangements and took care of us all.

This was our first time in WA and we both loved the varied scenery and experiences, from the Pilbara and Tom Price, through to the beautiful coastal scenery from Coral Bay to the south, cruising from Monkey Mia, visiting the Space and Technology Centre at Carnarvon and walking in so many lovely national parks. It was good to have the opportunity to visit Fremantle and the beautiful Kings Park in Perth, and what a finale to land at the Crown Metropol with its wonderful cuisine!

Thank you so much to the whole team for such a well-planned itinerary with so many inclusions.

Kind regards

I have just been on my 3rd adventure with Aurora: King and Flinders Islands, Broken Hill and Perth to Broome. All have been wonderful so that’s why I keep travelling with Aurora. I’ve got a dodgy spine, so the fact that I don’t have to lift my bags at all from my pick-up to my set-down at home; the comfortable seats and long leg-room on the coach; and the helpful, cheerful, considerate crew will keep me coming back. Holly does a great job sourcing very interesting itineraries and very good accommodation (even 5 -star in Perth!) Also, choosing our meals on the coach means that our food is delivered to our table as soon as we sit down, even in the outback! This keeps us on-time and leaves more time for exploring. Aurora is the best way to travel around our beautiful country, learning so much as we go.

I just wanted to thank everyone involved regarding the West Coast Explorer – Perth to Broome coach tour. August 31 to September 13.

From the day I was picked up to the day I was dropped off was incredible. Max and Aaron could not do enough for us. The bag handling, the meals, the accommodation information, even the immaculate spacious coach was outstanding. Their brilliant driving and the information regarding the landscape etc was exceptional. Having the boss Scott meet us at the airport before and after shows how good the service was.

The experience is one I will never forget. I’ll be coming back for more.
