5.00An optional experience as part of a G Adventures tour. It is a long day (12 hours) but you get to see numerous picturesque sights and we saw a lot of wildlife as well. Our driver, Marty, was absolutely fantastic!
An amazing day

5.00This was my first solo tour, and I didn’t think I would have much fun. But I met so many wonderful people and our guide was the best. If you’re thinking going alone is no fun the you’re totally wrong. It was amazing.
A great Trip all around the history and nature of the great ocean road and the 12 apostels including wild animals.

5.00The four of us took a private tour with Pats. We arrived on a cruise ship and were picked up at the cruise terminal. Since we had to be back on ship at 10 pm, Pats worked around our schedule and redesigned the tour to our wishes. We visited the 12 Apostles and drove down the beautiful Great Coastal road, making some stops for some beautiful pictures. We really wanted to see kangaroos and koalas in the wild and Pats was able to spot them. We even spotted a Kookaburra at Teddys Lookout. Although we skipped hiking through the forest, she gave us a wonderful drive by tour of Melbourne and a walking tour of the murals in downtown Melbourne. It was a full day but Pats did a wonderful job keeping it lively. She worked around our schedule and got us back in time to board our ship.
Highly recommend, the views are beautiful!

5.00Jimmy Chan was an amazing driver and guide. He went out of his way to show us koala and kangaroo along the route and got us to all the locations ahead of the crowds. We loved the views so much!
