5.00the tour starts from Melbourne and continues to the 12 Apostles, along the Great Ocean Road. We were very lucky with the weather (just under 25°, cloud-free and windless) and with our guide Hiro. Great how he brought us closer to the history of Melbourne and the cities along the Great Ocean Road, and had such small insider tips for bars, hangouts or "mustsee" for us everywhere. Of course, I can't give them away here, because that wouldn't be an insider tip anymore. The crowning achievement was a brilliant sunset for the 12 apostles. Thank you very much!
Amazing

5.00Had a great time, very scenic, tour guide Steve G was perfect! He was very informative, funny and also knew when to give us space and just play music on the way back. It was a bit cloudy that day and no sunsets but still worth it. Beautiful
Must Gooooooooo!

5.00It is a very long day trip with long hours sitting on the coach. However it is absolutely worthwhile for this long sitting and waiting as the scenery along the Great Ocean Road is breathtaking and amazing. The Twelev Apostles at sunset has beautiful colourful and I just want to stay there forever. The Loch Ard Gorge is also spectacular. Our coach driver, Steve G, is a very nice guy and professional.

5.00What a day/evening!! Our guide STEVE Gray was awesome.. so knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and had a great playlist! We had perfect conditions, sighting 3 koalas, one walking across the road by our feet! Sunset at the Apostles was breathtaking. The weather was perfect. I’m a nervous passenger at the best of times, but not today... Steve was a great driver (I kept asking if he was wide awake 😂). A long drive, but highly recommend this day trip If your time in Melbourne is limited. As a couple, you can both enjoy the views. A couple of bucketlist items tucked today.. Koala sighting, Great Ocean Road and The Apostles! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5.00Did this tour on 23rd October - and honestly I think it’s been one of my favourite day’s in Australia since I’ve been here - and I got here in May! The tour guide Glen was super knowledgeable about everything and pointed out some amazing things on the way. My highlights had to be seeing the koala in their natural habitats of the eucalyptus trees- oh which Glen told us how to spot and look for them. The finale was also amazing, seeing the sun set over the famous apostles. Thank you so much for such a wonderful day - which was only made by having such a wonderful tour guide
