Majestic Twelve Apostles

Jodi_T, Jan 2024

We did this trip as a shore excursion from our cruise. Our time in port was short but Richard did an excellent job of getting us there, showing us the highlights and getting us back to our ship on time. The long drive was well worth the views of the coast.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you for choosing our tour as your shore excursion and for the great review! I'm delighted to hear that Richard made your experience memorable and efficient, especially with the time constraints. It's wonderful to know that the scenic coastal views were worth the drive. We hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon!
