Per one customer who booked the Grampians National Park Small-Group Eco Tour from Melbourne, "Cloe was an excellent tour guide and a fun person to lead our tour. She made sure everyone was able to do the hikes, [...] as there were mixed levels of fitness in the group. She was filled with interesting stories about the towns and places we visited, as well as the history of the Grampians. [...] Be prepared for a long bus ride both coming and going to the park."
