Fantastic day trip experience! - What a fabulous day trip. Pete our guide was great and had fantastic knowledge to share all throughout the trip. We got to see some of the classic aussie animals that we haven’t seen before. Food and drink stops along the way did not disappoint either. We’re so glad we did this tour, thank you!

The best tour guide - So glad I did this tour. Our guide Peter was amazing, very knowlegeable and funny - he told us so many stories and fun facts. There was just 11 of us which made it really easy, and we were lucky to be with a great group of people. The views are amazing and by going in reverse we avoided all crowds. Peter went out of his way to show us all the best spots and wildlife. Truly the best!

Great Ocean Road day trip with views and animals - Fantastic tour with our fabulous guide, Pete! One of the best we've been on yet. Pete did a wonderful job explaining the breathtaking scenery and places we stopped as well as teaching us all about Melbourne and Australia along the way. Besides knowing all the places to stop for wild kangaroos, he was also an expert koala spotter! The itinerary was full of great stops but we never felt rushed. It was a very memorable day!

Great day drip - It's great trip, have visited most of the lookouts with fare prices. Only thing was when we were told that will "find" some kangaroo, I didn't expect to see them in golf courses which we can not get in.

Avoid crowds, harvest, and see wild koalas! - Jimmy Chen is a very good and thoughtful guide! He has a great knowledge of Australian culture, geography and wildlife, and explains funny and easy to understand. He is fluent in English, Mandarin and Japanese and communicates stress-free throughout. We attended the reverse Great Ocean Road trip he arranged and were very satisfied. He planned well, allowing us to avoid crowds at popular attractions such as Twelve Apostles Rock and Rock Canyon, and the weather was excellent, the scenery was stunning, and the photos were exceptional! Jimmy also took us to Mountain Ash Park to see the tall ash trees along a beautiful trail, which he explained meticulously and interestingly. Most surprisingly, he helped us find the wild koalas - and after learning we hadn't seen a kangaroo, he took us on a special detour, which was really sweet! His photography skills were also great, helping us take a lot of super-good pictures and leaving precious memories. Jimmy's guided tour is highly recommended! Professional, gracious and full of surprises, definitely worth experiencing!

Great view, Great people, Great weather - Left the meeting place just in time. Our tour guide, Marty, was very hands-on and shared lots of interesting facts at every stop. I went with my family, and they enjoyed it too. They’re usually not fans of long travels, but they really enjoyed this tour. The places we visited matched the itinerary, with gorgeous landscapes and views. We were lucky to have good weather during the tour. One of my favorite parts was koala spotting, some were quite hard to see, but we managed to spot five. I’ll definitely recommend this tour to our friends!

Amazing experience! - Me and my friend went on this tour and had a great time! It’s absolutely worth the money and you will get to visit a lot of beautiful sites, kangaroos, koala’s and we even saw some snakes and an Echidna. We also had a great time with our tour guide Peter, he made the trip even more fun for us!

Everything was saw was... - Everything was saw was absolutely gorgeous, except the rainforest walk could have been skipped. The fish restaurant was an unfortunate pick for lunch; ordering and seating was chaotic, and the bathrooms we were directed to were run down and unsanitary.
