Reverse Great Ocean Road Tour with Peter

5.00We did the Reverse Great Ocean Road Tour with Peter, and honestly, he made the whole experience even better. He had the perfect balance of sharing interesting knowledge and giving us quiet time to just take in the views—never overwhelming, but always insightful when it mattered. What really stood out was how attentive he was throughout the day. He consistently checked in to make sure everyone was comfortable, enjoying themselves, and not feeling rushed. It felt very personal and well-paced, which made a huge difference on such a long day. And a special mention to his very random music playlist—it somehow worked perfectly for the trip! It added such a fun, relaxed vibe to the drive and made the whole journey even more memorable. The small touches didn’t go unnoticed either—providing chips, bottled water, and even a little souvenir for each of us was such a thoughtful gesture and really elevated the whole experience. If you’re considering this tour, I’d definitely recommend going with Peter. He creates a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere while still making sure you get the most out of the experience.
Peter is the bestest ever

5.00This tour is a great way to see the Great Ocean road in a small relaxed environment. The reverse itinerary allowed us to best the big tour bus crowds to the twelve apostates resulting in great photos. Each stop included an explanation from our guide, Peter, who had a wealth of knowledge. He even went out of his way to find koalas in the trees for us to see on a side road. It even ended with a stop at the great ocean road chocolaterie This is a newer company so don’t be put off by the small number of reviews, plus each tour is a max of 11 passengers. I’d highly recommend doing this tour
The enthusiastic service of Mr. Driver and Guide, so that the bad weather, turned into a wonderful trip. The driver appeared on time in the morning, and then began the journey. We first visited the Twelve Apostles, and the peculiar geology in Port Campbell National Park, and then we looked for wild tailless bears. Have lunch in Apollo Bay and watch wild kangaroos on the golf course. Very abundant.

Do This Tour on the Great Ocean Road in Reverse!

5.00What a great tour! Worth every penny and the long ride. John, our guide, was very pleasant and informative. He catered to all of our needs. This tour was done in reverse so that we did not encounter all the large tourist crowds and the tour was a small group of 8 people. I would highly recommend it!
Outstanding Tour with a Knowledgeable and Passionate Guide
