This is a worthwhile trip - The scenery was stunning and there were a perfect number of opportunities to get off the bus. Jacob was a great driver and gave us lots of pertinent information.

Highly recommend this full day tour - Guide/driver Jacob was amazing! Took care of us throughout. Managed to visit many locations despite the rain. Recommended for anyone who wants a compressed version of the great ocean road experience. Doing it in reverse is good too.

Memorable experience - Had been living in Melbourne for over a year and finally had the chance to visit the Great Ocean Road. Clearly lives up to its name. Amazing views, friendly and knowledgeable tour guide (Chris P "Kiwi"), highly recommend!

A must do when in Melbourne. - It was a great day trip, long 14 hour day but worth it. The views were great, saw some Kuala's and Roos. The driver was great fun and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend it.

Great adventurous experience. Bus could have been bigger with charging points. - 12 apostles and the Melba Gully. I enjoyed seeing the koalas and kangaroos. Complimentary breakfast and dinner should have been provided. Aidan is a great tour guide.

Terrific Tour - This was a fabulous tour! Long day however. The 12 Apostles, Ocean Road, Rainforest were all wonderful. However, Autotopia should NOT pack the tour bus with 28 guests. The max should be 26. We were stuck on the back bench with 5 normal adult's but we should have been 5 skinny adults. It seats 5 but really 4 is comfortable with the 9-11 hours of driving given the seat width is only 13 inches. Not the drivers fault. He was terrific.
