5.00Peter is an excellent guide and driver! We were not as spry as the rest of the group. Peter would check in on us to ensure that we are keeping pace. We had a fantastic and memorable trip thanks to Peter, who took great care to curate worthwhile sightseeing sites and experiences.
A day of wonder

5.00Wonderful travel experience to see Apostles and the Great Ocean Road. Many unique stops and wonders packed into about a 12 hour day. Enough breaks for snacks, water, meals and bathrooms (you pay for breakfast and lunch, wide variety of options). Affordable way to escape from Melbourne on an organized, safe retreat.
A great day out (bring fly repellent with you)

5.00It’s a great day out on the Great Ocean Road. We had a similar trip years ago (maybe 25 years ago) during summer. It was windy and grey. We hardly see anything. (The last photo we posted was from 1998, our last trip, the apostles looked differently back then) This time (19 Jan 2026), the weather was great. Blue skies, less windy, we had a fantastic day out. The tour offered hotel pick up with no extra charges. The guide Mike is good. He took us to spots where hardly anyone else. We had the Eco tour (reverse), the stops are well timed. No rush. We’d recommend this tour to others.
Perfect day

5.00My partner, her parents and I booked the great Ocean road and were blessed to have Peter as our driver/ guide. He’s really chill and very knowledgeable of all the sites and scenes you see. The trip starts approx. 7am and finish’s approx. 6pm. The was only small crowd of 9 of us. Peter brought us some small walks and sites to see as well as the great ocean. If you want to see Koalas, Roos and get some amazing ice cream he’s your man. The bud was also a good size, with some good legroom (I’m 6’5), Peter also provided snacks, water and some good tunes. We had a really amazing day and that was thanks to Peter. Would highly recommend booking.
Great tour with Peter

5.00Amazing tour!! Peter was our tour guide and was fantastic— kind, positive energy, flexible, timely, and extremely knowledgeable. Peter led us to koalas and kangaroos, showed us all the great sights, and gave us history and background throughout. Tour lasted around 11 hours or so and was a mix of driving, walking around, and great photo opportunities. Highly recommend this tour and Peter as your guide!
Views for days!!!

5.00Excellent trip down the Great Ocean Road! The views were stunning. Peter was very informative and patient with everyone. We saw koala, kangaroos. Every little town we got so much information about it. This tour with Peter was a great way to experience another side of Australia. Peter was on time for pickup and drove us around safely. Thank You
