12 Apostles and Anne! - We did this trip on November 21st, 24 and it was amazing. We were picked from our place by Anne who was our driver and guide. She was amazing to day the least. She made sure we had enough time at all the spots and even volunteered to take pictures for us as a family. This helped us get a lot of lively memories of the day. She was very kind and was a joy to be around. Thank you Anne for making our trip so memorable. The only regret we have is that we could not get a picture with Anne in the end. Good luck Anne, you were amazing!

a relaxing and refreshing one-day trip. - The views are great, such as the ocean, the wild koala (we found two on pine trees, which is unusual to see them not on gum trees as our guide said), and the rain forest. ;)

Wonderful Day on the Great Ocean Road Reverse Tour - Our guide Pete couldn't have been better. From the beginning of the tour leaving Melbourne Pete was providing good information about Australia, the animals, the region, culture and some funny stories. Pete stayed with us as we walked to each of the viewpoints, providing information on that area, but at no time was he intruding into our day. Even turned back when a Koala was spotted high in a tree,also knew where to find Kangaroos in the wild, which was lovely to see. My wife managed to leave her phone on the bus! Peter went out of his way to return it to her, can't thank him enough for this :) Finally take a raincoat as the weather is changeable!

An AMAZING day at the Great Ocean Road! - I thought it would be a run of the mill day tour where we got on an off the bus to checkout the great ocean road at lookouts. But I was WRONG!!! In a very good way!!! We covered a wide variety of attractions including: 1. Short walks to amazing lookout points/beach 2. Short walk into a eucalyptus/fern forest 3. Helicopter ride to see the 12 apostle (optional and not included in package but totally worth it and recommended) 4. Chocolaterie and ice creamery 5. Ad hoc stops when koalas and kangaroos are spotted Anne, our driver and guide took very good care of us along the way: 1. She provided good commentary along the way about the scenery and also background info about the area 2. She gave good recommendations of what to eat at the meal stops 3. She made sure everyone kept to the time 4. She was very helpful with the photo taking, and she took great photos! This tour definitely exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it to my friends and anyone who is evaluating a great ocean road day trip.

Stunning experience! - I have travelled quite a lot through Australia and I was still so taken aback by the Great Ocean Road, the landscapes are unique and it’s full of little towns on the way! This trip was very well organized and our guide was super knowledgeable, always contributing with lots of interesting facts and in general such a lovely person! She also asked us about our preferences so she could adapt some parts of our itineraries to see kangaroos, go to a chocolate factory etc Really recommend!

Best ocean road tour out there! - You have to book this tour - if we could do one thing again in Melbourne it would be this! Our tour guide for the Great Ocean Road was Pete. The reverse itinerary is such a good idea, we missed all the crowds and really got to enjoy all of the sights unspoiled by the hordes of tourists on the opposite route. The food stops were great, breakfast was top notch. Eating our lunch on the beach at apollo Bay is something we will never forget, it was so beautiful. We were so lucky to have some great wildlife encounters and Pete made time for stops to see more animals. We left and returned on time and the legroom on the bus was sufficient, and the air conditioning was working. Would highly recommend!

A relaxing day on a coastal drive with a view to kill for ! - Itinerary was great, with stops approx every 45 min., enabling us to stretch and soak in the views….and what a view ! Also it is a small group tour , facilitating one-on-one attention from Mr Chen, our guide, who was knowledgeable, and enthusiastic throughout our journey .
