Day long scenic trip

Marilyn_M, 07-12-2022

This was a very long, but awesome trip. Wes, our driver/guide, was fantastic. He imparted a lot of history and information along the way and made sure he did lots of rest stops. The scenery was out of this world!!

Outstanding Great Ocean Road adventure

Donna_A, 28-11-2022

The tour was outstanding and full
Of surprises! It exceeded my expectations and visually was stunning, but the thing that made the trip extra special for me was the tour guide ‘ Brit’. She was amazing, full of energy but paced everything just right, she was full of fun but also incredibly knowledgeable and her music playlist for the journey was fantastic! She made the trip extra special! Great day

We really enjoyed this trip today with our driver/guide Keelie, who kept us entertained all day with information and stories about the locations themselves and the places we passed through on our way there. The absolute highlight was spotting a koala in the wildlife park.

Breathtaking views and hours of fun.

Anthony R, 12-01-2023

Fun packed day traveling the Great Ocean Road. Comfortable 28 seat bus with a friendly and extremely knowledgeable driver/guide Maj. Incredible scenery and history. It is a 12 hour tour that is packed with the best that Melbourne has to offer. Highly recommended for the adventurous traveler.

Enjoyable full day trip.

Great Ocean Road Day Trip with kids.

The guide is knowledgeable and humorous. Thr journey is full of interesting stories about Victoria people and animals.

It was a nice tour but...

Reeli_L, 04-12-2022

It was a nice tour but too big group together. Too much time to enter and leave the bus at the stops. It was said it will be a small group tour but we had 40 people in a big bus.
The guide was also a driver. Would be better to have a driver and a guide separate people.
Air conditioner didnt work properly.
Stops were nice. We also saw a coala!
