5.00Our guide Peter was a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. He was very experienced in giving this tour and took us on a few successful side trips in search of koalas and kangaroos. We were also impressed with Peters safe and courteous driving skill. This tour was all day and we felt it was time well spent. We would highly recommend this tour.
The great ocean road tour (end Nov)

5.00The great ocean tour was awesome and unforgettable despite the rain that came every now and then during our trip. My family of 5 booked a private tour with Melvin as our guide and driver. Our vehicle was a Mercedes minivan which was spacious and comfortable for our family. We were picked up at 7am from our hotel and we travelled to Colac for our morning breakfast. After that we proceeded to the twelve apostles for our first stop of the great ocean road tour. Melvin, our guide, chose to travel via the reverse route which helped us avoided the crowd at every places that we stopped. Considering that we went to this trip on a Sunday, it’s hard to believe that there was little crowd at our various stops. Even though its end November, the weather is very chilly due to the very strong winds along the coastline. For those who want to travel here, please wear enough clothings to protect yourselves against the unpredictable weather in Melbourne. Bring along umbrellas as you never know when the rain will come. Our guide also brought us to see kangaroos and koalas along the way. Lunch at the Apollo Bay was around 1.30pm to 2pm, we chose to eat at a Chinese & western restaurant. The restaurant was not crowded during this time and we were able to find seats and order western dishes for our lunch. The view along the great ocean road was magnificent. I would suggest that if you intend to travel here, it’s best not to drive so that you can fully enjoy the scenic view along the coastline. The journey itself is very long and many sections of the roads are winding and narrow, so it can be dangerous if you are not alert and get yourself distracted by the scenic views. We have our last stop at the chocolate & ice cream factory. We ate some ice creams there and bought some chocolates back to our hotel to consume. This is a good place for chocolate lovers who will find many varieties of chocolates to choose from. In this trip, we were so blessed to have Melvin (Awesome Leisure Group) to be our guide and driver. He was very knowledgeable and experienced. Along the way, he shared with us much information on the great ocean road as well as the history of Australia. I would strongly recommend that you have him as your guide if you intend to travel to the great ocean road. All in all I would say this is an unforgettable trip and I will come back to the great ocean road again if I were to return to Melbourne.

5.00We visited the Great Ocean Road on October 22, 2025, and despite the rainy weather, our tour guide Peter made the day unforgettable! He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing detailed insights about Australian history and culture throughout the trip. Peter took us to the stunning Twelve Apostles, stopped along the way for photos, and ensured we saw koalas and kangaroos. He even took us to visit chocolate factory! Driving for nearly 12 hours, Peter remained attentive and caring, checking on our comfort and adjusting the car’s temperature as needed. He’s a truly thoughtful and dedicated guide—highly recommend! He is also an amazing photographer

5.00Did the Great Ocean Drive with Uli and it was absolutely outstanding. He was super flexible, fun, and tailored the trip perfectly for me as a solo traveler. Every stop felt special, and his energy made the whole experience unforgettable. Truly the best day I’ve had in Australia. Thanks, Luis (Uli is the real name—inside joke).
Fabulous tour! Mike was awesome!!!

5.00This was a fabulous tour. Mike was awesome! The itinerary was the perfect blend of variety. We saw all the major sites of the Great Ocean Road and made a few stops that weren’t on any other tour agenda which gave us a taste of the rainforest, the quaint town of Colac, we saw Koalas and kangaroos and beautiful rural Aussie farmlands as well as the amazing coastline views and.beaches and history of the Great Ocean road. Highly recommend.
Loved it!
