5.00What a great tour. You will get to experience the inner beauty of what Australia has to offer. Got to see 5 Koalas in the wild as we rode down Great Ocean Road. The visit to see the "12 Apostles" was stunning. I had so much fun at the Great Ocean Road Wildlife Park. I was able to feed kangaroos, Emus, and pet 2 dingos. If you love nature, this is your tour. Bring a jacket because it can get a little cold in the morning and at the Twelve Apostles stop. This was my second tour with Local Way Tours while in Melbourne... I can highly recommend them.
Unforgettable experience

5.00It was an amazing experience, Rusell was our guide, super kind and carismatic, he made our experience very enjoyable and super funny. We also learnt a lot about Australian culture and history. The places we visted were beautiful, and amusing. Probably petting dingos was our favourite activity. The price is fair specially if you don't have a car, and they include a coffee and lunch.
Amazing Tour!

5.00A fantastic day with our fabulous tour guide Russell. He was courteous, friendly, humorous and extremely knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to make the day special. So many tours to choose from, but the Dingo experience gave this one the edge. I've wanted to see the Great Ocean Road for 23 years and I'm so pleased we chose this one with Local Way Tours
A perfect day

5.00We booked a "Great Ocean Road, Dingos, Sparkling & Lunch" with Local Way Tours and it was incredible. Russell, our guide, was so nice, easy to talk to, and just a fascinating person. The small group format was great as well. The tour was well paced and allowed us to see so many beautiful places! The wildlife sanctuary was wonderful. The animals seemed well cared for and content, and it wasn't crowded at all so I was able to spend as much time as I wanted to with each critter. I smooched a dingo! The food at the sanctuary was delicious as well. Overall I'd really recommend this tour and I'd definitely try another one with this company in the future!
Fabulous trip with Russell!

5.00Excellent trip with Russell - so knowledgeable and easy to talk to for the duration, despite our group trip ending up being just the two of us. We had a brilliant time and really enjoyed seeing the sights and hearing all of the information Russell had to share. He was a true gentleman and we don’t know how he kept his energy levels and humour up for the whole day! A truly fabulous experience that we will never forget! Thank you Russell!
Amazing tour!

5.00We went on this tour on June 19th with Russell McGilton as our guide. Russell was a great guide, knowledgeable and friendly. Our group was small (3 from Krakow, Poland and one from Malaysia) but the experience was great. Beautiful views and some physical activity. Dingoes singing in the Dingo Awareness Centre. I highly recommend this tour and this guide. This review is late as I have only just returned home to Krakow.
