Note: they changed our original tour to a small group tour We had an amazing experience on the Ocean Road one-day tour! Our guide, Steve, made the whole trip truly memorable. He was knowledgeable, relaxed, and full of humor, sharing great insights and stories along the way. You could tell he’s passionate about what he does it made the journey even more enjoyable. Every stop was beautiful, but we especially loved the chocolaterie section it was a fun and delicious highlight! We warmly recommend this tour, and if you can, definitely go with Steve as your guide. He’s awesome and makes the day unforgettable! Reza & Camilla

A Perfect Great Ocean Road Experience

Noha_A, Jun 2026

Awesome tour and such a beautiful experience. We made wonderful memories and enjoyed every part of the trip. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. He managed the day very well, made sure everyone was comfortable, and was always happy to help with any requests. The stories and interesting facts he shared about the landmarks made the journey even more special and helped us appreciate the places we visited much more. The tour was well organised, relaxing, and full of breathtaking views. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Melbourne and wanting to experience the Great Ocean Road in a memorable way!

Best Tour Ever!

10/10 tour! Guide was knowledgeable, funny, great photographer, included folklore and folk songs of Australias history that will leave you feeling fulfilled! This was my favorite experience of my trip we saw so many sights in reverse order so there were little to no crowds while we were there. I learned so much and saw so much more than I ever thought I would! well worth the booking and when i come back i would 100% book this again!

Great ocean road experience

Pauline_T, May 2026

This was a great way to visit the coast and see all the significant sights of the great ocean road, just a fantastic day including a forest walk and very informative guide.

A trip to remember

Peter_E, Apr 2026

Be prepared for a long but rewarding day, not to be missed. Pack jacket as weather can be very changeable.

Fantastic Small Group Ocean Road Tour with Steve

This tour was as exactly...

Miriam_N, Jul 2025

This tour was as exactly as the itinerary was outlined! I was able to take in incredibly gorgeous sights, nature, and animals! Our tour guide was welcoming, hilarious and kept us engaged all day! He made this tour 100 times even better. I would recommend this tour and company to anyone looking to take it on!

See the coast outside Melbourne

Jim_B, May 2025

Our guide/Driver made this Solo traveler feel welcome to this full day tour. Come prepared for lots of travel time in the van on some twisty roads. This was a good way to get out of Melbourne and see the countryside and coast. Saw my first kangaroo in the wild!

Great day trip to see outside the city.

William_B, May 2025

Full day filled with some great ocean views, koala bears, kangaroos, and other wild life. Had a great driver/guide who looked out for us and kept us informed.

Uncomfortable & Poorly Advertised - Give it a miss

Millacent_W, Apr 2025

I have to say I was really quite disappointed with this tour. For the price and the name, I did expect it to be a bit more high end as it is touted as “luxury”. I first will say that the guide was lovely, and this review is nothing to do with him and more about the way it’s being advertised/marketed. He was an excellent driver (very safe) and a lovely human to spend 10+ hours crammed next to. And I spent a lot of time with him, sitting up front of the van riding in the middle of the front seat wedged between him and my husband with my knees smashed up into the dashboard 🙃 The tour itself was fine, we went around to the areas as mentioned in the itinerary however I feel the need to clarify some of the things in the listing. First of all, entry to the chocolate place isn’t ticketed - it’s free, so that shouldn’t be listed as an “inclusion”. We weren’t offered water, let alone diet Vanilla Coke 🤣 so not sure why that is listed as inclusions either. The driver said, I’ve been told to buy you coffee and something from the bakery and I thought oh maybe that’s because I’m squeezed in at the front of the bus and uncomfortable but no - upon looking back at the add for the tour, it’s supposed to be included in the cost of the tour I did like that the longer part of the drive was first up so we got to the locations before most other tours and tourists. I would have liked to have heard more about the history & areas we were visiting. There wasn’t much by way of that kind of information provided when compared to other tours of a similar nature that I’ve been on. Probably would have gone with a different tour company or picked a different group to go around with. It’s not a luxury tour, and my experience was definitely not comfortable or worth the significant outlay of money.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Hi Millacent First of all we are Glad you enjoyed your Tour. Our buses are late model & Arguably the best buses out on Great Ocean Road. And every body got water & vanilla Coke as you can read in the Reviews as well. We would like to chat with you over the phone to get a clear picture. We have called you but it's going into voicemail. Please call us so we can clarify the misunderstandings. Regards

It was great fun on the Ocean road.

Jack, Jan 2025

Fun experience from hotel pick up to drop off. Bill has fun, engaging and professional. All the photo ops were brilliant and the weather was ideal. Saw everything I expected and a few photos of the wildlife was a bonus.
