    Initially booked the reverse+lunch tour but it was cancelled two days prior. Slightly disappointed but the communication was done very well by Autopia, which lessened the blow. Hotel pick up was arranged by Autopia in the morning upon request. This was especially helpful as we were unfamiliar with Melbourne. The bus driver/guide Steve was really fun and attentive, which kept the long trip interesting. It was raining on the day, but Steve did his very best to keep everyone's spirits up. We had toilet breaks at regular intervals and had plenty of time at each sight, did not feel rushed at all. Steve's suggestions for lunch and dinner were both excellent! 👍 Another plus side was the very good wifi service on the bus, however there was no charging port available so make sure you bring portal batteries.

  • A great day trip

    This was a nice day trip. You get to see plenty even though it may be a little fast paced. I would caution those, before booking, who get car/motion sickness. The route has a lot of winding roads. I had no problems but I could see others maybe feeling sick. Our tour guide was awesome, had tons of knowledge and was humorous. Great views all the way through and awesome stops along the way. Would definitely recommend this tour to others. Especially the reverse route, I think it flows better, working your way back to the city.
