5.0This is a wonderful excursion. The drive is spectacular and my daughter and I were overjoyed to see kangaroos and koalas in the wild! There are plenty of stops and a nice little rainforest hike midday. The town we stopped in for lunch afforded many options. Our guide Peter was knowledgeable, cheerful, and we enjoyed his stories greatly. I highly recommend this trip!
Australia: A land of enchantment.

5.0Peter, the driver/guide was excellent! We had 6 stops for pictures and discovery. Our lunch break was fantastic (Scallops Pie) in a small town. We had the opportunity to admire both nature, fauna, the mountains and beaches in the beautiful area. Peter is very knowledgeable and kept the 3- or 4-hours' drive (each way) very interesting! Peter brought some cafe, tea and snacks for the group. What a guide!
A very entertaining trip 🤗

5.0We absolutely loved this experience, which was our first introduction to the Great Ocean Road. We were based in Melbourne (the trip departed & returned to Melbourne) & there’s no way we would’ve seen all that we did in one full day, if we had driven ourselves. Our guide, Streets/Wheels, gave us a wealth of information about the towns along the way & was an amazing koala spotter 🤗 Thank you for doing all that you did for us Wheels, we learnt so much 😊 It was a very long drive for you & you were very professional as well. PS - You’re an amazing singer too 🎤🎤🎤

4.0Very long day, could have skipped longer time at rain forest, just use a toilet break and spend extra 15 minutes at final destination at 12 apostles. I felt rushed at 12 apostles because had to allow time for bathroom and very long lines.
perfect tour
