5.00I joined the Great Ocean Road tour with ray and had a fantastic experience. She provided so much interesting information about Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road, adding context and stories that made each stop even more memorable. ray has a great sense of humour and made the tour both informative and fun. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne — it’s an excellent way to explore one of Australia’s most beautiful regions!

5.00We had a great experience with AR Tours. Our tour guide was very well informed and planned our tour according to our need as we were travelling with a 3 year old kid. His car was big and spacious and was very comfortable fitted with a child seat. We stopped at the primary spots took photos. The tour was not rushed and spent enough time at each spot. We had good breakfast at a popular bakery and had a good lunch at a very popular Cafe at Apollo Bay. Overall a very good experience and would highly recommend AR Tours.

1.00We booked a small group and had 45 people in a 53 seater bus. We did not do the National park walk or chocolate factory. We stopped many times for koalas and kangaroos which was not required. We also did other sites eg lighthouse and memorial to workers which were not included. We also booked pick up and drop off for convenience. They supplied an uber to get there but were not dropped home. Our driver was amazing. However, not the day we booked. Very disappointed in the day.
Excellent drive - exceptional service

5.00Wow, the Great Ocean Road trip exceeded all my expectations! The stunning ocean views, iconic landmarks like the Twelve Apostles, and charming coastal towns made for an unforgettable adventure. The scenery was breathtaking, and I felt like I was in awe every few minutes. If you're looking for a road trip that combines natural beauty, adventure, and relaxation, this is it. Can't wait to come back and explore more!

5.00Experiencing both in one trip is like tasting two flavours of Victoria — the wild, windswept coastline and the serene, storybook hills. One thrills you with dramatic beauty; the other soothes you with nostalgia and charm. Together, they make for an unforgettable Aussie adventure.Thanks for organizing AR Tours
