Vance is the best! Awesome experience! A must do if you’re visiting Victoria, Chocolaterie was also a good stop with very good quality chocolates.

    Relaxing way to see Great Ocean road and surrounds

    Long day, over 12 hours, nice driver, clean bus, not enough time at Chocolaterie and too long at next stop.

    Flooding interrupted tour

    ANDREWSK_C, Jan 2026
    Because of flooding we missed the most part of the Great Ocean Road along the costal line. We have to detour riding inland.so we can only visit the 12 Apostle . And come back 3 hour early.

    Vance is the best!...

    Great day out on the coach with Vance the driver. Vance is knowledgeable and eventually found a location for us to view Koala’s. Yes, there were 2 huddled together on a rainy and cold afternoon on the Great Ocean Road.

    A tour not to be missed

    Linda_N, Aug 2025
    I couldn’t fault this tour. We had an amazing day, which as well as seeing the spectacular coastal resorts and the 12 apostles, we spotted 2 koalas and also visited the Razorback and London Bridge. Jo was a great guide providing just the right amount of factual info with quiet periods. It was a long day - 14 hours- but I wouldn’t have missed anyone it. Thank you Jo.

    Thank a lot Linda, we look forward to welcoming you again in Melbourne in the near future.

    Good branding.

    Rene_C, Jun 2025
    It's a good marketing to brand to call it the 12 Apostles. People will buy the "come on". It's really impressive the structure.

    Unique experience! recommend!

    Ken_Y, Mar 2025
    Very good experience, especially the tour guide Vance are perfect he just not only tell us about Great Ocean Road but also tell us alot history of Australia that i never know before. Highly recommend!!!

    Sing a song on the Great Ocean Road

    p9zhgsj4m5, Feb 2025
    This is one day trip. But people like old friends, because of the tour guide know how to set the right mood. And really details abt the landmarks on the road. Stronglly recommend the guide whose name is Can Yang. Let him sing a song and dance. He is the best singer on the Great Ocean Road.

    This tour was absolutely...

    Paul_M, Feb 2025
    This tour was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, and our driver was both professional and attentive, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone. The journey along the Great Ocean Road was breathtaking, with stunning coastal views at every stop. Morning tea in Anglesea was a lovely touch, and visiting landmarks like the Split Point Lighthouse, Memorial Arch, and the iconic Twelve Apostles made for unforgettable memories. A highlight for me was spotting koalas in the wild near River Road—such a unique experience! Loch Ard Gorge was another stunning location with its dramatic cliffs and fascinating history. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the beauty of the Great Ocean Road without the hassle of driving. A perfect day filled with nature, history, and fantastic scenery!
