Fantabulous trip! - Absolutely fantastic trip arranged by Go West and we took the Great Ocean Sunset Drive. Our Tour Guide was Mr. Red (that's his name) and he was absolutely wonderful. Red is maybe the Lionel Messi of tour guides. Hilarious and everyone loves his jokes. Also very knowledgeable and shared detailed information for every place we visited. He took care for any requests from our side.
Even if you drive I suggest you take Go West Tours as the Guide is knowledgeable and gives tips and local information which you might not have otherwise.

Worth it - The scenery is even more beautiful than expected, a bit sad that the weather did not allow us to enjoy the sunset.
Israel our tour guide is lovely, he told us a lot of stories during the trip.

Stunning views on the Great Ocean Road tour - Our driver/tour guide/photographer all in one Chris Hill was super committed and motivated and made sure we had a blast all along the Great Ocean Road. I've never had a better tour guide. Thank you a lot, Chris H, and have a wonderful Christmas!

Chris H our guide cum driver is humorous, gives interesting narratives of places we passed by and stopover. Excellent! - The views were amazing, we took many photos and videos along the way. Though we were only able to see the sunset not in its fullest splendour at Twelve Apostles, Port Campbell National Park as it was cloudy, the sunset hue is good enough!

Amazing Sunset Tour of the Great Ocean Road - Had an absolutely amazing day on the Sunset Tour of the Great Ocean Road with Go West! Our guide, Chris Hill, truly enhanced the entire experience with his knowledge, humor, and engaging personality.
The day was action-packed with highlights that included spotting koalas in their natural habitat, breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, and, of course, the stunning 12 Apostles at sunset. Every moment felt thoughtfully planned, and Chris ensured the journey was not only comfortable but also incredibly fun and informative. Despite covering 500 km, the road trip felt like a breeze thanks to his energy and professionalism.
Kudos to Go West for organizing such a fantastic tour. This is an absolute must-do if you're in Melbourne and short on time but want to experience the best of Australia's iconic coastline. Highly recommended!

Can’t recommend enough! - The whole day is beautiful. When you get past the long drive and late finish there is a much time spent watching some breathtaking views. You spend just enough time in each to see all you want and plenty of opportunities for food and toilet breaks. Tim the driver/guide does and fantastic job to keep the sprints up & keep you on track with an awesome playlist to keep you entertained!

An Amazing Ocean Road Sunset Tour with Jono - We just went on a great Ocean Road sunset tour guided by Jono, and it was truly an amazing experience. He kept us updated on the estimated times and any changes to the itinerary, which was much appreciated. Jono was not only very knowledgeable but also funny throughout the trip—not just during the Great Ocean Road portion, but along the way as well. He also recommended great restaurants at each place we visited.
One thing that really stood out was how Jono handled stress. When he noticed an issue with the minibus, he immediately took action without appearing stressed at all. He managed the situation calmly and professionally, which is an excellent quality for a tour guide. I’m sure his experience as a teacher helped him excel in this role.
Jono also made a great recommendation when I was unsure whether to go for a beach walk or the sunset lookout at the Twelve Apostles. Given our limited time, his suggestion helped me make the best choice, and it became one of our best memories in Melbourne!

Good experience - Interesting trip but the time was a bit long. Maybe can skip a few stops on the road so that shorten a bit. Also, for the sunset tour, highly recommend to the all participants bringing warm cloth no matter what season, it can be extremely cold even in hot summer.
