From Bumpy Roads to Comfortable Seats

I was sitting at the back of the bus because the road was so bumpy and there was no air‑conditioning。 The bus was making such a loud noise that I couldn’t hear anything he was saying。 When we went on the other tour in Melbourne, the bus had Wi‑Fi and the seats were very comfortable.
A bad experience not to repeat.

Despite the enthusiasm we had with the tour our experience was not good. The driver was calling the travelers according to his list, and we finished the four largest people of the excursion in the last row of the end, which is the one that has four seats instead of three and therefore are smaller than normal, we were for many hours in a very small seats, not able to move for all the hours of the trip, we could not even buckle down because we did not have space in the allocated piece of seat. Any guide would have realized that we were literally crushed with each other without being able to move, would have had to distribute the staff more consistently, or more in line with the age and size of the passengers. To this must be added that that day it rained copiously during the excursion, so we all ended up totally soaked, and when we got on the bus the driver put on the air conditioning, people were shivering, however the driver was in short sleeves and shorts, it was evident that it was very hot, so he put his body temperature before that of his passengers. Wet as chickens, tight and with a cold nose. It couldn't have been a more awkward and unfortunate trip. However everything we saw had to be seen, it is a beautiful excursion, obviously to do with another tour operator more considerate and professional.
Great experience

This tour is amazing. Really enjoyed each stop for photo shoots, our guide Jimmy had good knowledge of the region and his commentary was very informative. Each stop was sufficient for us to take plenty of photos, and also for us to enjoy the gorgeous views. Highly recommended.
Great Joirney!

Excellent experience with Chris as our tour guide. Chris is passionate and knowledgeable about all of the areas we visited. Chris was more than a driver that would just drop you off at an area and let you explore on your own, in fact, he would walk with us and explain to us what we are seeing and the history of the area. Chris made a big difference on our trip and if you book this, I hope you get Chris as a guide.
