Perfect day - We had an amazing tour with Marty. He is incredibly knowledgeable yet light hearted and funny. We were able to see all the sights, wild koalas and kangaroos and still be back at the hotel by 6:30 in time to clean up and have dinner. Surprisingly I wasn’t cold even though we went in winter.

Worth the ride - This trip is definitely worth it. It’s a long day, but there’s no other way to squeeze in these amazing views and have someone else do the driving and explaining. Marty was our driver and he was incredibly knowledgeable, jovial and fun. He kept us on schedule and yet we never felt rushed. The views are absolutely spectacular!

Great way to see the 12 Apostles - We loved this trip. Neil was an excellent guide.. very friendly and informative.
Getting to the 12 Apostles early allowed us amazing views without the crowds.
Neil even found us Koalas in the wild.
Having the optional hotel pick up was an excellent time and foot saver.
Would definitely recommend this tour.
If you take this trip, given the lunch stop is not until around 2pm, we found buying lunch at our breakfast stop allowed us to have lunch earlier.
Overall, an excellent trip. Was one of the highlights of our trip to Melbourne.

Perfect Great Ocean Road Tour - Our Great Ocean Road tour was more than we had imagined. Chris, our guide picked us up right on time in downtown Melbourne. The van was comfortable, and we stopped for coffee about one hour out of town. The stops on the tour were incredible, especially the Loch Ard sites. Chris incorporated the story of the shipwreck and it's survivors. He also had many fun facts along the trip from his personal experience. A long day in the van, but many fascinating places! Koalas and kangaroos in the wild as well!

Jimmy was a great tour guide - We loved this tour - within a day you get to see a lot. We chose premium option with hotel pick up and Jimmy welcomed us early in the morning. The ride was smooth and we were surprised how huge knowledge Jimmy had - lots of information about the region, animals, customs of farmers, food etc. The views were breathtaking - we were lucky with the weather. We loved 12 apostoles, the gorge and views of waves. We enjoyed the walk in the rain forest and stopower to see koalas in their natural environment - it was an amazing day and we fully recommend it.

For everything you get to see, worth it! - You may feel it’s very fast paced with only 20-45 minute stops but you are getting to see so much! It gives enough time to see each view point and take photos, you learn along the way and in the end you’ll have the entire van sleeping from exhaustion on the way back.
Wayne was an excellent guide, super friendly, engaging and ensured everyone was having a great time! By the end of the trip, he feels more like a friend you got to know who take you all over The Great Ocean Road.

Stunning breath-take trip - Our guide, Chris was just incredible. He made the trip even better for us, very knowledgeable, taking us to a places that is his favorite as well, he put his soul in everything. The reverse itinerary is just fantastic idea, we could enjoyed with more exclusivity. And now I just not went to all those places, but I also know the whole history about the great ocean road. Many thanks Chris! Congrats guys.
