Great day trip - Highly recommend this tour. The reverse itinerary meant there was limited people at all our stops. Tour guide Ann was friendly and accommodating. Managed to find koalas and kangaroos for us. Wonderful day out even if the weather was a little dreary

Totally worth it! Click on that booking button. - Really worth it! We went on a amazing sunny day, becoming even better. Astonishing views, opportunity to see animals that only exists in Australia. Peter, the driver who conducted us, is a massive source of information about the regions visited in the tour, and others cities as well. He also have a variety of jokes in his menu :D with keep us entertained during the long road period. The only con is that you don't have a lot of time to enjoy the areas, due to the tight schedule (this will happen with all the single day Great Ocean Road tours out there, there so many things to see). My suggestion is: don't take hundreds of photos, enjoy the moment the most you can. When you became older only one will be enough to activate your good memories. Life is not in the phone screen.

Epic Journey to The Great Ocean Road - My friend and I went on a holiday to Australia end of August and was excited to see the famous "The Great Ocean Road". What an incredible road trip with Hit The Road Tours and so glad they offer a reverse itinerary to avoid big crowds! Love the fact that we had plenty of time to explore (with lots of photo opportunities) and targeted very important places to see. Also, very lucky to witness 2 koalas in the wild.. it was amazing! We absolutely love the ocean and surrounding natural landscapes, even more beautiful in real life than the photos! Big shout-out to our tour guide, Jimmy -- he was a delight, so knowledgeable and you can really see that he loves his job, also the fact that he tried his best to get to know his passengers; a big thank you to you for being awesome. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to explore The Great Ocean Road! Worth every penny!

good - We had a fantastic time on our one-day Great Ocean Road tour, led by a very considerate guide Jimmy from Taiwan. His attention to detail was impressive, and he made sure we saw everything from beautiful coastal views to native animals like koalas and kangaroos. The itinerary was well thought out, though we did find that the timing was a little tight at some stops. However, it didn’t take away from the experience, and the guide managed the schedule well so that we never felt too rushed. Overall, it was a great way to explore the area, and we appreciated the guide’s effort to make the day special.

Reverse - We had an incredible one-day tour of the Great Ocean Road, and our guide, who was from Taiwan, made the experience even better. He was very attentive, always ensuring that everyone was comfortable and having a great time. His itinerary was well-organized, and we got to see all the highlights, including stunning views of the coastline and wildlife like koalas and kangaroos. While the schedule was packed, he kept us moving efficiently without feeling rushed. It allowed us to make the most of the day. Overall, the tour was a fantastic way to see this beautiful part of Australia, and I highly recommend it.
