The tour should spend more tiem at the 12 Apostles. They should remove ice cream stop adn reduce the time at Rain Forest. 12 Apostles is the main attraction. Need 2 hrs there. The guide was good and funny

This was a well-organized, memorable tour. Our guide Chris’s knowledge and passion for the area truly made it special. Other than seeing the Twelve Apostles and the beautiful coastlines along the Great Ocean Road, we were able to spot wild koalas and wallabies, which was such a unique experience! Highly recommend!
