1.00Experience was very bad. Although traveling van mentioned was Mercedes. But it was so old and badly maintained that during the journey it was shaking and made all the travelers feel dizzy. Also visit to rain forest was missed.

5.00Peter our guide was faultless. Knowledgeable and a great story teller. He even ensured great weather. His timing was impeccable. Clearly he loves his job and it showed.
Fantastic tour

5.00Amazing day having Peter as our guide. Originally we considered hiring a car and doing this ourselves. However this was a much better idea. Anyone thinking of doing this, book it. You won’t be disappointed
This tour stands above the others out there.

5.00Don’t waste your time with a large group and the standard front to back route where you end up at the 12 Apostles at the end of the day. Instead book this excursion with fewer than 12 people and enjoy the stops with no crowds. I am from California and I greatly enjoyed meeting my fellow travers from Australia, Canada, England and Czech Republic. Great guide who served as our driver attentive to all our needs. Van was fast, clean and comfortable. Food stops were local small businesses with high quality service and delicious morsels. Yes - we saw interesting scenery, enjoyed clean air and nature as advertised including koalas and kangaroos. Highly recommend this trip which is better than the competition. Not all of these tours are the same. Do your research. Thanks
Excellent experience

4.00We are very pleased with the tour and especially to be picked up at the hotel in the morning and to go in reverse order and start with the 12 apostles. This meant that there were not so many people and you could take good photos. Our driver Mike is a very good driver and the car was comfortable. Hans & Birgitta
Fantastic experience.

5.00Our tour at GOR was amazing with Mike the driver and tour guide (Awesome Leisure Group) Mike was a good driver and guide with interesting information for the trip we were satisfied with his services.
Unethical company. Tour agents to move to other companies.

1.00Tour guide himself was good. Tour agency: TERRIBLE. Did not honour paid agreement dated 25/5/25 for round trip to hotel. Tour agency replied Viator saying they will remember to do so but tour agency told customer a different story and ask if i want to cancel my overseas holiday, <12 hours beforehand so that it is easier (for them). Context- I have flewn a 6hrs SIA flight from Singapore to Australia for this holiday to make it easier for the tour agency. 25 May: Tour confirmation, with paid agreement for round trip pick up & drop off @ pre-selected hotel. Itinerary cleared indicated so on viator app before and after payment on 25/5/25. I even received itinerary details with confirmed round trip back to hotel. This is in fact, confirmed by Viator on 15/11/25. Viator groupchat agent, Roseneal B has confirmed with me that i paid for *guaranteed pick-up and drop -up.*. Roseneal even contacted the tour agency and send me an official email reconfirmation reply stating *The supplier said they can pick you and drop you off at Veriu Queen Victoria Market, 91/101 Therry St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia. Tour agency whatsapped me <12hrs before Luxury Small Group Tour with A) Wrong address for pick up. B) Stated he will drop me off at a train station instead C) Ignored the Viator reminder screenshot i that sent, stating clearly that his company has replied Viator that it is indeed true that my booking included round trip journey back to hotel. 28/11/25 Update: Tour agency CEO, mr melvin, claimed that his company never had this written correspondence with Viator. 19/11/25 Tour agency had the audacity to say that “i’m not sure what amount yoh paid but we are one of the cheapest small group tours.” Icing to the cake: typo error in message sent to customer. Tour operator even advertised this experience as a luxury tour. What a joke.
