Great tour!!
Amazing tour from start to finish! Cloe was an outstanding guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to everyone in the group. It’s a long day, but there’s so much to see and learn that it never felt like 14 hours.
The Great Ocean Road was absolutely stunning, with beautiful views at every stop. Cloe was also a fantastic driver and kept the energy up with an awesome playlist throughout the day. She handled the group effortlessly, always with enthusiasm, and shared great food recommendations both during the tour and for places to check out in Melbourne afterward.
Her positive attitude and energy never dropped—she was gracious and engaging right through to the very end. Highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful family trip to Great Ocean Rd
A trip to Great Ocean Rd and 12 Appostles that is unforgettable to my family. Pleasant group of tourists on the bus and our driver/tour guide/entertainer/cameraman (Luke) was perfect for us. Will always remember him, managed to make my daughter smiled during the journey (she rarely smiles 😃).

Best Tour Experience in Melbourne
An amazing day tour! The guide, Ben, was excellent—he gave a thoughtful introduction to Melbourne's culture and attractions. The itinerary was very well-organized, with plenty of time allowed for taking photos and sightseeing at each stop. The guide also thoughtfully prepared little stools for us—absolutely loved it!

Must do. If you don’t...
Must do. If you don’t have a car and want to venture out this was a small group tour.
We went to the 12 apostles must see it was so beautiful. Left early but well worth it. We avoided the crowds. We stopped along the way to eat and stretched. She stopped where we walked around and she helped us spot out the koalas also saw kangaroos.
We’ll coordinate want to thank our driver she did a wonderful job.

Close up and also in-situ wildlife viewing
My tour's guide and driver, Michael, gave us all an excellent ecotourism experience! He was informative, friendly, and easy to listen to. I didn't expect to get the information about the skyscrapers and the historic buildings, so that was an unexpected bonus. And of course lots of information about the penguins, the wallabies, and the protected bird species. I think the amount of time at each stop on the tour was just right, although I could also have been happier with more time. Michael told us exactly when to arrive and where to sit to get the best view of the penguins. The experts predicted low numbers, but I was delighted to find that over 100 penguins came up onto the beach that evening! This tour gave me some great local information, some future spots to check out, and some spots to return to with friends.

Great tour
Our original tour got cancelled as the driver and kangaroo collided upon his way to pick us up the company was great and moved us into a van but gave us the first 4 seats and a reduction in price as we had booked a smaller tour group.
Our tour /driver was Steve whom we enjoyed immensely. He was funny, and made you feel very welcome to his van. We would like to thank you from your 4 Canadian jet lagged passengers

The hosts at every venue...
The hosts at every venue were awesome and kept the great wine flowing. Shoutout to Gil, our driver and guide he was top-notch and kept the whole trip entertaining from start to finish. Highly recommend letting Gil drive you around for an afternoon of drinks.

Awesome tour, definitely worth booking
This tour was great and well worth it. Our tour guide Chris did an outstanding job commentating along the way and was very knowledgeable and was funny as well. He did a great job managing time and even though we didn’t get to see the rainforest (closed because it was really wet) it was made up by our chances to see some kangaroos and koalas in the wild which we have been trying to do. It was a long day but packed full of things to do and see. Would definitely recommend

Puffing Billy Dandenongs tour with Explore Australia
Great tour guide - Michael was friendly, informative, and took us safely to and from our destination. He also took photos of us and gave relevant local advice. Thanks, Michael!
Tour ran on time (in fact, we left 8 minutes early as everyone was ready to go!) with no issues. Tour bus was new, clean and comfortable. Great way to see the Dandenongs and go on the Puffing Billy if you don't want to drive.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
When people come to Melbourne, they don't come to only see the city's attractions. They also come for the great Melbourne day trips that let you experience more of Victoria while staying comfortably in Melbourne. Take it easy as you're driven out to your pick of beaches, coastal attractions, wine valleys, and wildlife sanctuaries—the latter of which lets you see Australian wildlife including penguins and koalas. You can also make the most of Australia's seasons, from hitting the slopes in the ski fields in winter (June–August) to walking to waterfalls in the warmer months (December–February).
