4.00It’s worth the 3 hours travel , nice spots to see. The transportation can be a little newer and not to feel like a roller coaster.
Fantastic Amazing and Highly Recommended Tour

5.00It was an amazing experience. The bus was on time for pick up in the morning. The bus driver David Su kept us well informed about the itinerary for the day. Good communication from the driver’s side via WhatsApp. He proved to be a very well informed guide.
Worst tour experience.

1.00⭐ 1/5 – Extremely Disappointing and Unacceptable Service Our experience with VAT Group was absolutely unacceptable. The driver Daniel couldn’t wait just 2 minutes for elderly passengers who were delayed due to a major accident on the Monash Freeway — something completely out of anyone’s control. We stayed in constant communication with him, updating arrival times and explaining the traffic situation clearly, yet he showed zero empathy or understanding. What makes it worse is that the driver actually left right in front of the elderly passengers, who were crossing the road to reach the pickup spot. Watching a tour driver abandon senior citizens like that was shocking, disrespectful, and deeply unprofessional. No company that provides transport services — especially for tours involving older people — should treat customers this way. VAT Group failed in basic decency and duty of care. I would strongly advise others to think twice before booking with them.

3.00William was a 10/10 as a tour guide. He was very attentative to his passengers and kept a warm friendly composure throught the entire journey. His passion for what he does comes through making the experience enjoyable.

3.00The driver and the tour guide is the same person. This means that since they need to focus on the road, they are unable to give as much context about the areas etc. He also waited for us in the bus. This is fine if you just want someone to drive you without context, however I was under the impression that I was going to be given a full detailed tour. Additionally (and I assume this is the exception and not the rule) our bus did break down in the middle of nowhere and we were delayed by ~2.5 hours (our arrival time back in the CBD was 10.40PM when we were meant to return back by 7-8PM) as we needed to wait for a new bus. Once the new bus driver arrived, Leon (our original tour guide/driver) was able to focus on being a tour guide only and he was very good. He also took us to see kangaroos and a koala which was very exciting and a highlight. The sights on the tour were extremely beautiful, and I highly recommend Great Ocean Road in general. Due to the bus breaking down, I requested a 50% refund and was granted it. That said, if I could go again, I would probably go with a smaller tour bus, as you spend less time waiting for people (at rest stops, etc). This is a big bus (holds 51 people) so there is a LOT of time spent waiting.
