    Great Ocean Road Tour - Was Just OK

    Robb_T, Dec 2024
    The Great Ocean Road tour is a very long drive (almost too long). We booked a private tour for my family of 7. The tour guide showed up in an old minivan that was not really big enough for our family to be comfortable. Plus, the minivan was loud and the seats were not firm. We spent almost 12 hrs driving around cramped up and uncomfortable.

    Dear Rob Slatter, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent Great Ocean Road tour with us. I sincerely apologize that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. I’d like to address a few points you mentioned. The vehicle we use for tours is a Kia Carnival 2020 model, widely regarded as one of the best 8-seater options in Australia for comfort and spaciousness. While it may be four years old, it’s meticulously maintained and has served countless guests, receiving positive feedback for its reliability and comfort. I’ve been using this van for two years with the aim of providing memorable journeys, and I regret that it didn’t meet your family’s comfort standards this time. As for the duration, the Great Ocean Road is indeed a long journey, typically 12-13 hours to fully explore its breathtaking coastline and iconic stops like the 12 Apostles. The beauty of this tour lies in experiencing its many scenic points, which naturally makes it a full-day adventure. Even the shortest route would take about 7 hours, and skipping key stops would diminish the experience. That said, I appreciate your candid feedback. It’s clear I didn’t reach your expectations this time, and for that, I truly apologize. Your comments will help me improve further, and I hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future. Warm regards, JP Escape Melbourne Tours

It was a pleasure sharing the journey and the beauty of the Great Ocean Road with you. I’m so glad you found the trip interesting and informative. Thank you for recommending me to others—I truly appreciate it! Looking forward to welcoming you again in the future. Safe travels! Warm regards, JP Escape Melbourne Tours
