Wonderful trip to the Great Ocean Road

movesal, 22-12-2022

Our family of 5 had a marvelous time with Eva, who was a terrific tour guide. She was so well organized from the beginning with arranging seating on the bus and explaining the schedule for the day so we could anticipate the stops. She told great stories and was very helpful with tips for each stop. She also took great photos for us. We loved seeing the Great Ocean Road and learning more about the history and landmarks of this part of Australia. We would highly recommend Go West tours! They pick you up and drop you off close to your hotel and have much experience in showing guests a great time.

A must do day trip if in Melbourne!

Red our tour guide was awesome. Bubbly and bursting with energy he turned one of the longest day trip tours into a wonderful experience. He put in some really great tunes and was receptive to feedback, the great ocean road is a must trip from Melbourne with plenty of beach stops and small walks on the way! Thank you again Red

Best day on the Great Ocean Road

Judith_M, 21-12-2022

Fabulous day with Lucy along the Great Ocean Road. Surf, Green and Shipwreck coasts with informative commentary. Lucy's expert knowledge of our fauna was a highlight for international tourists as well as the locals.

Loved it!

It was a long day for Debbey but she made it wonderful for us - the views were amazing, the stops well thought through by Go West - everything worked like clockwork but you did not feel rushed - adequate time for everything. We did the optional helicopter tour at the 12 Apostles and Go West had priority to get us on the flights quickly - well worth it . Best was the custom music playlist Debbey organized for us on the ride home

A great coastal trip

FlyFishDan1, 21-12-2022

This trip was worthwhile yet made for a very long day. We met at 7am and did not get back to our hotel until after 9pm. There are wonderful coastal views along the way similar to those seen olong the Pacific Coast highway in the US. The 12 apostles, now down to 7 or 8, was beautiful although most views faced the late afternoon sun which washed out both the view and the quality fo photos. Our guide was great and the trip overall smooth but just such a very long day.

Great tour with Cloe and Sarah

georged437, 11-01-2023

Cloe and Sarah are excellent guides. Their knowledge of Victoria and the towns on the tour is top level. The tour is well structured and the guides are doing a great job. Thank you for the experience.

Would 100% recommend

We had a great time on this trip and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a tour down the great ocean road. The trip was made 100x better by our amazing tour guide-Lisa. She was very knowledgeable and friendly through out and ensure that we were all well looked after and enjoyed our day to the max. Thank you Lisa!

A fantastic trip made better by a fantastic guide

I recently took the Great Ocean Road Small-Group Ecotour from Melbourne and it was hands down the best trip I've ever been on. Robert, the driver and guide, was absolutely fantastic. His energy and good vibes really added to the experience and made the tour so much more enjoyable.

The scenery on the Great Ocean Road is breathtaking and our small group size allowed us to truly take in all the sights and sounds of the area. The ecotour aspect was also a highlight, as it gave us the chance to learn about the local environment and wildlife.

Overall, I highly recommend the Great Ocean Road Small-Group Ecotour from Melbourne. The combination of the beautiful scenery, informative ecotour, and exceptional guide made it an unforgettable experience.

And I will definitely ask for Robert. I hope they show him this review cause he definitely deserves all the praise.

Great view, great guide.

Alif J, 09-01-2023

Superb tour to the great ocean. One of the highlights of my trip was to the 12 apostles.

Great view with a great guide with the legend, Red. Very informative yet entertaining tour along the stretch of road. Would recommend!

Great day on the Great ocean road

Chris H was a fabulous guide with just the right amount of enthusiasm and information. This tour lasted the whole day but he made the time fly. Many of the sights were very interesting and beautiful and we really enjoyed seeing a different part of Australia. Chris did a good job of keeping us away from the crowds and I would definitely use this tour company again!
