The Majesty of The Great Ocean Road

5.00It is a long day but there were plenty of stops and the scenery was really spectacular. Photos of the “12 Apostles” do not do it justice, even though they are now down to 7! Our driver/courier, Ray, was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We took water and nibblies for throughout the day but there were plenty of stops to grab food. The ice cream at Dooleys in Apollo Bay, which was recommended to us due to the many awards it has won, was beautiful - like real ice cream used to taste! There were plenty of bends in the road at various times but I found some travel calm tablets (ginger) helped me along (I am prone to car sickness). All in all it was a great day and not to be missed.
Very nice experience

5.00Great tour. Hugh our guide was very informative. If you suffer from car/motion sickness this is not the tour for you.
Fantastic way to see Apostles, so long as you like hours in a bus

4.00Fantastic views of Apostles and a cute koala-in-the-wild moment too (we got lucky as was roadside as driving past). Be prepared for long hours of driving, including very windy after lunch - don’t eat too much lunch or sit down the back if get car sick, as some of ours found out! Driver/guide Hugh was great throughout whole trip.
Amazing views and our driver made it so memorable.

5.00Hugh was an amazing guide and driver. He offered lots of history and tips to make the most of our Great Ocean Drive. He has a true passion for what he does and consider yourself very lucky if you get to meet him! The views were absolutely breathtaking and we even saw some wild koalas! It’s a very long day but he makes it very relaxing and enjoyable. Definitely worth it!

1.00This is so absurd. Lol. We planned months ahead and suddenly they cancelled our Great Ocean Road Tour not even 24 hours before the trip. They could’ve should’ve informed us 2 weeks prior that the amount of participants were not met so we could at least look for another host for our Great Ocean Road Tour. They want us to reschedule it the next day as if everyone’s got all the time in the world. Lol. What a legend.
Disappointing Last-Minute Cancellation

1.00We booked the Great Ocean Road Private Group Tour in Melbourne with Vast Group as a couple, and our experience was extremely disappointing. Less than 24 hours before the tour, it was cancelled due to “not enough participants.” This is unacceptable, especially for travelers who plan their itineraries in advance. By cancelling so late, Vast Group left us with no realistic opportunity to rebook another Great Ocean Road tour, effectively wasting a day of our trip. If a tour depends on a minimum number of participants, this should be managed earlier—not communicated at the last minute. The lack of planning and consideration for customers’ time and travel arrangements reflects poorly on the company’s professionalism. We would not recommend this tour operator, especially if you are visiting Melbourne on a tight schedule and need reliable bookings.
