This is a perfect guided trip to see the great ocean road. The trip is limited to 11 guests and you rode on a small passenger van with your guide. The seats aren’t too spacious, but better than some other excursions we have been on. Our guide Mark was just right - he gave us all the information, facts, history and trivia to enhance the journey and the sights without endless talking. The stops were well planned and the timing for each stop seemed just right. Also, the stops were timed well so we didn’t feel like we were just on a road trip. We saw koalas in the wild as well as 20+ kangaroos. Mark was very knowledgeable and knew all the hidden spots to stop and find the animals. Based on the reverse route, we encountered no crowds at our stops. Mark was wonderful and we can’t say enough about his skill as a guide for this trip. If you are considering the great ocean road, this is the one to pick.

Outstanding experience. First off, the tour guide Peter was brilliant - approachable, knowledgeable & interesting throughout and always focused on how to enhance the customer experience. The tour layout is brilliant too - small group and reverse order enabling you to visit key spots when they are quieter. Refreshments stops were at good quality places. The stops were a good mix of geology & wildlife views and we were incredibly lucky to get a fantastic view of koalas! Brilliant day!
