Great experience

JoeY1024, 04-01-2023

I had a great ocean road day tour with Extragreen holidays last week, and had great experience with them. The whole tour is not rushed, multiple stops along the whole trip with fantastic sceneries. Will definitely recommend if you want to see great ocean road!

Great day activity

Thijs_S, 13-12-2022

First stop was very touristic but at the other stops you really get a grasp of the beautiful coastline without having to rent a car yourself. I would prefer more quick stops to ser the view though. Instead of the chocolate factory for instance

Great tour, very comfortable ride

Rosa_S, 11-12-2022

My American friends loved the scenery, bus was very comfortable and had big windows so the view whilst driving was awesome.

Amazing guide

Victor_L, 22-11-2022
