Lovely day! Great sights. We had great weather, especially during the 12 Apostles portion, which is the best part. Got to see an actual koala and kangaroo in the wild, which was a fun touch. Ton of good knowledge from Kara our guide. I enjoyed this! Don't miss if you happen to be staying in Melbourne!

It was a wonderful experience with Barbara as our tour guide. She was informative, funny and super helpful. Met some wonderful people on the tour, great if you like meeting new people. The views were just fantastic, especially since it was a beautiful sunny day. Would highly recommend this tour if you’re travelling solo and don’t like to explore in big groups.
