5.00My family and I took this tour with John and it was such an amazing experience. The weather was perfect. John was knowledgeable and fun! I have been on many excursions and this one is one of my favorites. It was the first time I saw a kangaroo in person. The views are breathtaking. Thanks to John, I’ll never forget this day! Allisa

3.00Jhon is a good guide and driver, but he didn’t take us to Maits Rest Rainforest Walk, which is included in the itinerary and I was really looking forward to it. I felt so sad and disappointed :( I asked him why we didn’t go and he told me that because the rainforest road is muddy, but I really don’t mind to be honest :( we arrived city at 5:30 and i was crying inside my heart.
Best of everything sight seeing and wildlife

5.00What a great day. Started early to avoid traffic. The drive eas long but sooo worth it! Our driver and guide John Emanuel was so knowledgeable and accommodating to us. He took us to the best spots. And he made all hus effort for us to see everything including beautiful koalas 🐨 and kangaroos 🦘. We finished the day with a great ice cream. It was a great day. Highly recommend. Although the weather was not great.. we didn’t even notice it 🙃
Great tour, great place!

5.0010/10! Thank you very much, John, for an amazing day. He's a very funny and kind guide who shared information about the towns and points we visited. We didn't have to pay any extra fees. He even stopped so we could appreciate the koalas and kangaroos (loved it). The reverse tour was the best call because John took us to the best spots to enjoy the views before other groups got there. I recommend doing a small group like this one, plus the bus is really comfy. We loved every single part of the day!
Awesome day full of experiences

5.00I had a great day on the Great Ocean Road tour today! Our guide and driver, Peter, was pleasant, informative, and engaging. He frequently went out of his way to find wildlife for the group; thanks to his efforts, we spotted three koalas and many kangaroos. The small group size made the trip very efficient. Because we managed to avoid the large tourist crowds, we enjoyed less crowded viewpoints, which allowed for better photos and a much more relaxed experience. The ride itself was very comfortable in a premium small-group vehicle stocked with water. We highly recommend this tour!
Excellent Great Ocean Road tour

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. John was a great guide. We saw so much and the scenery was amazing. Stopping for delicious icecream on the way home was the icing on the cake. Doing the small group tour was so much better. Thanks John.
