There were 10 of us in... - There were 10 of us in the group. Our guide Jens really made it so fun and eventful from the minute we met him at the terminal in Melbourne to when we were dropped off at our destinations in Adelaide. He is very good at keeping everything safe and on time. Great communication with what/when we are going to do from one day to another. Showed/talked just about anything he wanted us to know about everything we either stopped at or just passing by. We all felt like he was one of us. We were very well fed for breakfasts and lunches at local restaurants and lodging was very comfortable. Highly recommend this tour. Enjoyed every minute of it

Brilliant way to travel from Melbourne to Adelaide - This trip is a brilliant way to see the area from Melbourne to Adelaide. The hotels we stayed in were great sometimes quirky but always had good hot showers and comfy beds. We visited sites early in the morning that would have been unbearably busy later in the day and were able to really enjoy them. Jens our guide made the trip truly memorable. He arranged a great itinerary with well informed knowledge delivered with great humour. The breakfast and lunches included were extremely good. You may not need dinner.
All in all worth every penny

US Cousins Down Under - Found this tour company "googling" Great Ocean Road; read some reviews and decided to use them for my "Cousins Down Under" trip to Australia to visit our cousin in Adelaide. Mick our guide was fantastic and showed us great sites and stops along a 4-day journey from Melbourne to Adelaide. He made us all feel at home and did everything to accommodate the varied interests of our 10-person group. It was without a doubt the highlight of our almost 30 days in Australia! Comfortable hotels, great food, wineries and host! Nikki and Dallas, owners of the tour, were equally great to work with and I highly recommend the trip for anyone wanting to travel the Great Ocean Road...and beyond!

Probably the best way to experience the Great Ocean Road - This journey was first-rate. Thanks to guide and driver Janz, we saw features that most solo venturers might easily miss. And he was hugely entertaining along the way. Everything went without the slightest hitch. Highly recommended to get the very best from an unforgettable drive. Thanks!

OUTSTANDING IN ALL RESPECTS - BLUF - Outstanding! There are a number of tour companies that run Ocean Road trips, but this one has to up there with the very best. It is a small group tour, and so you will not be on a crowdedbus with dozens of people that don't really want to be there. The schedule of four travel days and three overnights is just right for the groujd to be covered, and includes (IMHO) just the right balance of scenic stops, activities (e'g wineries) and other sights (e.g. caves etc). The three overnight stops have really top quality accomoodation in apartment style chalets/rooms and cannot be faulted. Our guide was a mature native English speaker who was informative and totally professional. This trip may not be the cheapest, but you get what you pay for.

The only way to enjoy the Great Ocean Road to the absolute max. - A wonderful trip. Nothing was too much trouble for Brenton our friendly unflappable guide and he and the organisers worked their socks off to ensure we saw and did as much as possible on the tour. We were with a lovely group of people and the tour dynamics were just perfect. Each place where we rested overnight was of the highest quality and the food along the way was delicious. I can not pick a highpoint as there were just so many, from breathtaking coastal views to cute koalas to ancient caves to a cheese museum to a saint and winetasting. Where would I start. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience

Wonderful tour between Melbourne and Adelaide. - Great tour between Melbourne and Adelaide, Jens is an excellent guide well prepared and it was a fantastic group made the experience really special. The itinerary was very well selected with interesting places, discovering the small towns along the great ocean road and the country side and Coonawarra wine region. The food was very good and the lodging always comfortable. Highly recommend.

Great Experience - Had the best time for the tour. Had a small group of 3. Jens our bus driver was very good and by the end of our tour we all had become good friends and was definitely worth it. It ticked off my bucklet list to see the Great Ocean Road and will be something I will never forget.

Why rent a car? - Meeting up with our guide Jens at the bus station couldn’t have been easier. He was very enthusiastic and entertaining. Great Ocean Road is the highlight but we also visited natural areas where we saw koalas emus and kangaroos. A suggestion for future trips: an earlier start on the last day with box lunch so we could go to Cleland wildlife instead of mt lofty overlook? Naracoorte fossil caves was also interesting. Would definitely do it again.
