The whole trip with all...
DamlaZeynep_B, 19-12-2022
The whole trip with all its stops was really fun. Being a reverse itinerary was the best part. That way we could visit all the places before they got crowded.
Koala and the beautifull ocean
Grazyna_C, 17-12-2022
Beautiful ocean view and Wild koala expirience. Driver and an expirienced guide in one, perfect combination. But I would love to spend more time at the sandy beach.
Amazing guide, he talked...

Fantastic!
Mike_S, 11-01-2023
Overall, we had a great day seeing the beach and bush. It did feel rushed at times trying to fit all the stops into the day. Personally, I would skip the chocolate factory and spend more time at the beaches/coastal overlooks.
Awesome experience!

Awesome trip! The views were amazing and they weren’t too crowded when we arrived at each attraction, so the trip was planned perfectly! Rio our tour guide did an awesome job explaining the history of each attraction, good driving and excellent photography skills. Definitely an experience to try!
Great tour in the Great Ocean road!

The whole tour can only be named a " fantastic experience " not only thanks to the extraordinary spots with great impressions of the beautiful nature but also thanks to the most detailed informations our tourguide Rio gave us during travelling. Many thanks for a wonderful day!
Great Tour and Reasonably Priced
statesec, 06-01-2023
Took this tour while in Melbourne this week and it was excellent. Despite high season the reverse tour did cut down on the number of folks at the sights. If you are in Melbourne and want to do the Great Ocean Road but don't want to do it yourself this is a great way and reasonably priced. It is a smaller mini-van versus some of the larger mid-sized buses which helps as well. Rio our guide was excellent.
Great way to see great ocean road
Ray_C, 16-12-2022
Plenty of stops along the way, stopping every 15-20 mins. Driver had a lot of knowledge about the area.

I’m not a big person and found the bus to be very uncomfortable in terms of leg space.
