Professional friendly tour guide and also as a safe driver introduced the attractions along the way. Also the guide was nice to help take great pictures for us in the famous 12 Apostles. Good planning for rest areas along the way. I enjoyed the trip very much and highly recommend it.

Breathtaking scenery and gorgeous drive make this a must-see. Our stellar guide Peter was highly knowledgeable and lent some humor along with insights into South Australia. Recommended!

Peter was a great guide, all the photos on this website are exactly what you see on the tour. The minibus used was top of the line with reclining seats and usb charging points.

While you could easily spend two days to explore this area, most tourists don’t have that time. Mike safely drove us to the highlights, sharing historic details along the route. Seeing koalas and kangaroos was an unexpected bonus. Beautiful countryside views all along the coast.
Very pleasant and recommend to others to do tour with this company

Mike made an excellent day in what were difficult circumstances, as a major portion of the coastal road was closed due to flooding. We enjoyed and endured some spirited mountain road driving to see nearly everything that was promised.

The driver picked up the person on time in the morning, must wait in advance at the appointed place, the trip was great, the 11-seater Mercedes minibus was comfortable, the driver was also warm, and took us to see the wild kangaroos and koalas, the scenery was also beautiful
Legendary views with Attentive Staff!

Nothing short of fantastic! Got picked up right on time outside my hotel, plenty of space inside the van for myself and my legs! The great ocean road was breathtaking, even in its “mundane” drives between stops. I never stopped looking out the window. Driver was attentive, friendly, and frankly one of the best drivers I’ve seen, especially with tricky roads in a large van. Extra kudos!
Excellent trip , great...

The sights were amazing, but lots of driving. There were ppl in the van that were feeling car sick (and took tablets offered ny driver/guide and also the sick bag) so maybe put a note in the description that it is a curvy drive for quite a bit of the journey!
