It was a great experience. Peter was great and very knowledgeable. We had an amazing time seeing kangaroos and koalas along great ocean road in the wild.

We 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.

A great day out. Meocin was awesome - very friendly with lots of knowledge. Well planned trip leaving before all the larger coaches to beat the big crowds.

This 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

What 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!
