We loved the information and the scenery.

Bobbi_W, Feb 2025

It's a very long day, lots of scenery, many stops. We had great weather, comfortable vehicle, great lunch, and a truly friendly and informative guide, Errol.

Amazing Day Thanks to Spectacular Guide

Henry_F, Jan 2023

If you have limited time in Melbourne, be sure to carve out a day to explore the Great Ocean Road. And to do so, there is no better tour than this one. Our guide was helpful and courteous. He gave us lots of useful information without any useless fluff. He customized our tour based on our continuous feedback. And he took us to some "off the beaten path" locations that were breathtakingly beautiful. Can't imagine a better way to spend a day in metro Melbourne area.

Fantastic Great Ocean Road trip!

Yan_T, May 2022

Our experience guide cum driver is Brendan picked us timely at 7:30am. Refreshments at "The Lighthouse tea room" and lunch were provided. Lunch were really good at "Birdhouse". Tasted the award winning Dooleys ice cream . It was forecasted 90% to rain but we had a fantastic weather with very blue sky through out. We were lucky to see Koala and Kangaroo too. Was an enjoyable trip for the whole family. Reached hotel around 8pm. Strongly recommend!
