5.00Bluey or Tom is a very good guide and very good at speaking and making us have a good and fun time. Even though there wasnt a sunset to be seen at the 12 Apostles I wouldnt trade this tour with another. The price was valid for how the experience was, It was a fun experience. I will miss Tom/ Bluey.
Had such a fun time !

5.00A friend back in Ireland told us The Great Ocean Road Tour out of Melbourne is "a must". How right she was! We had one of the most memorable experiences in our life. We have been on trips before when a guide doesn't quite deliver . Not so today . Rhys was just on top of his game from 7.30 am when he picked us up until we got back to Melbourne at 9 pm. And the unqualified success of our thoroughly enjoyable day on one of the most spectacular coastlines in the world was down to Rhys's professionalism that was reflected in his encyclopaediac knowledge,grasp of nature and history, the "product" he was showcasing and story telling combined with his anticipation of all our needs, not least toilet breaks, lunch and dinner tips, and ensuring that none of our party of just over twenty got lost. There were many highlights too numerous to mention. Like many others we took the option ( at reasonable extra cost) of the helicopter ride over "The Twelve Apostles" on the Southern Ocean. And what an exhilarating experience that was. The highlight of the day ! But peering into that Gorge amid the Ocean breakers also took the breath away.
Fantastic experience, highly recommended!

5.00This is a 5 Star rate but it actually has to be a 10!! Our guide Bluey (aka Tom) made this day trip to the Great Ocean Road an unforgettable adventure! Getting us to the most beatiful spots and back home safely, he shared his vast knowledge about local flora, fauna, history and geology with us in the most entertaining way! What an amazing day, stunning scenery and lovely people! By any means: try to get a tour with Bluey! 😃 Karen
