This is tour company to go with. Book Now! - Marcus saved my life. Not literally, but I was booked with another company and due to miscommunication on their part, I was left behind for the Great Ocean Road tour. I was really deflated as I was scheduled to leave Melbourne the next day. Marcus pulled up for his tour with Hide & Seek and I asked if they had last minute availability. He scrambled to make it happen and within 5 minutes I was on the road. There were only three other tourists on the trip. Marcus was incredibly informative and the small group allowed us to have conversations about all sorts of things! I learned a lot from the other passengers. The tour was amazing, stunning and surreal. It was almost like a private tour as the other passengers wandered off and I spent some time chatting with Marcus and asking a million questions. Nevermind, Marcus did save my live by chasing off a hungry cockatoo that landed on my shoulder. lol. The lunch spot was also amazing as it was a nice sit down place with a fantastic view. Be prepared for: All types of weather. Curvy roads for a loooong distance. I loaded up on travel sickness pills and I was fine.

Amazing day seeing all the sights! - What an epic day! We enjoyed all the sights of The Great Ocean Road in a small group environment. While it's a lot of time on the road, it is well worth the trip. We packed it all in to 1 day and made amazing memories. Our guide was informative and fun.

The Twelve Apostles, Otway National Park and The Great Ocean Road - Another great tour, this time with Matt from Hike and Seek. These guys certainly know their stuff and the route to take you on to beat the big buses. The views from the van were great. We stopped off for a lovely lunch at The Perch before having a game of hide and seek behind the mahoosive redwoods. Got to have an unplanned paddle with my shoes on thanks to a big wave at Gibsons Steps! Spotted not one, not two, but three koalas which made our day and also caught some cheeky roos playing a round on the golf course! Great thing about these tours are they are so small and friendly.

Trip review - The 12 Apostles and Great Ocean Road were breathtaking, with stunning coastline views and the iconic limestone stacks standing strong. Our tour guides were friendly, and our group was a joy to travel with. The local towns we visited added a unique charm, and the town locals were incredibly welcoming and proud of their beautiful region. This trip was unforgettable and highly recommended for anyone looking to experience Australia’s natural beauty.
