We had an absolutely... - We had an absolutely wonderful tour of the Great Ocean Road with George from Escape Discovery Adventures. The company focuses on boutique style tours with really small groups (tours have 11 people or less). Boy did they deliver for us! Evidently the other groups who had booked the same tour cancelled, so my husband and I received a wonderful private tour at small group tour prices. Props to Escape Discovery Adventure for not cancelling the tour due to insufficient numbers! The entire day was marvelous. It started with an on-time pickup in a comfortable minivan. We had an unscheduled stop to snap photos of a lighthouse and walk on the beach, drove along back roads hunting for koalas in the "wild" (I found one!), had a yummy lunch of fish and chips at a fisherman's cooperative that was followed by an easy walk through a temperate rain forest in Great Otway National Park, where the ferns grew as large as most trees - and the "real" trees were towering giants. The highlight of the trip, of course, was the Twelve Apostles which didn't disappoint. The scenery is indescribably wild and beautiful and we had such a wonderful day for it. George is an amazing tour guide, funny and with good information and great stories he makes the tour seem like a day out with a good friend. I couldn't recommend more highly. If you only do 1 tour in Melbourne, make it this one.

Amazing tour ! - I’ve done this tour in October and was the only participant. I had an amazing time and learned so much about Australia History and Nature. The weather wasn’t great and I still had an amazing time. I 100% recommend this tour.

Great day out! - An early start to the day, but so worth it! Annie our guide was brilliant, very informative and a great guide. Only 6 of us on the tour and a great bunch of people. We even saw a koala which was great. The tour was very interesting and would definitely recommend.

Highly Recommend without reservation!! - We had the most fabulous time traveling the Great Ocean Road with Paul - he was a wonderful host and full of interesting tidbits about what we were seeing, Melbourne and Australia in general. He is an authentic example of hospitality and enjoys his role - we talked about music, cars, travel, history and many other topics. It was just our family, and the time passed quickly!

Time and money well spent! - I would absolutely recommend this tour. Paul was incredibly entertaining and is an avid story teller. One can’t help but to listen as he engages you in the history behind the great ocean road. He was very attentive to our needs and we felt very safe with him. Our ride was very comfortable and clean. The food was fantastic as well. My only regret was not doing more tours with him during our time in Melbourne.

Wonderful and Friendly Tour Guide!!! - Paul has gone above and beyond my expectations for this trip. My friend and I had a wonderful time the whole day we went to the Apostles. Paul is a very kind, knowledgeable and funny man. Everything you could ask for in a tour guide. He is truly a very kind person that loves what he does because you can just tell. He made my trip and it was the last event we had planned for Melbourne so it left us very happy before we went back home. I want to keep saying how kind and funny he is because I feel your guides make you feel like your a hassle in general your guides and like it is just a job they want to get over with but Paul really makes you just feel like a friend that wants to have a good day with you and teach you stuff along the way. I learned so much this trip as well from him! I would love to book with him again in future he was just wonderful! Thanks Paul!
