Very good tour with great views. The guide was fantastic. We had to cancel our original booking but the travel agency was helpful to accommodate us at the last moment and put us on this tour without any extra charge

Peter was a great guide. Van is very comfortable and invludes wifi. It's a lot packed into one day and a great way to explore. Learned a lot about Melbourne. Got to see koalas and kangaroos. One suggestion would be to have more time in Apollo Bay for the lunch spot. Overall highly recommend.

Peter was a great driver, very knowledgeable and made our experience safe and educational. He was happy to answer all our questions and enjoyed having conversations with him. The tour covered every highlight of the great ocean road and was delighted at every stop… especially the chocolate stop. My favorite parts were the walks through the forest and around the 12 (7) apostles. I also liked meeting new people from all over the world!

I can’t say enough about what a fantastic experience our tour was. Of course the views were amazing, but our guide Peter really elevated our experience to something special and a trip highlight. We appreciated all of his knowledge and passion for Melbourne and our Great Ocean Road journey.

Amazing experience and our driver/ tour guide is very knowledgeable. We are very impressed with how much he has taught us about Melbourne’s history, its naturistic landscape, koala and kangaroo spotting. Thank you for the splendid experience. He was very punctual and a safe driver as well.
