An action packed day w gorgeous scenery
tracey_s
, May 2021
A fantastic day led by Gui. This action filled tour takes you to all the major sites first so you go straight to the 12 Apostles before the other big tourist buses do and have the place to yourself! We visited the Apostles, Loch ard gorge, Tom & Eva, razorback and London Bridge before lunchtime and while the sun was beautiful and warm and the sky bright blue. If u want to take pix along the surf coast I suggest sitting on the right side of the bus (driver side). We even saw a few koalas at Kennett River!! Make sure you check the weather b4 u book!

Great ocean drive with Ben
Karim

Ben, our tour guide, is great and funny. He is very knowledgeable and kept us entertained throughout the day. It is a long drive, and for just a fraction of a price, these guys are doing an awesome job. Would highly recommend. PS- practice your singing skills!!

The Perfect Day Trip
Sarah_C
, May 2021
This is the perfect way to see the highlights of the Great Ocean Road in one day; I was worried that it would feel rushed but it definitely didn’t and I feel like I saw everything I would want to along the route. The day didn’t even feel too long as the stops are broken up nicely and you’re given a good amount of time at each place to stretch your legs and do some exploring. The guides Ben and Jack are great, very friendly and informative without having to fill every bit of silence so you had time to relax and nap in the bus. I’m a solo traveller so having the small group was nice as you got to know people but also didn’t have to stay with the group the whole time. Will definitely be recommending the tour to everyone visiting Melbourne
