Amazing day tour. Bob our driver was a safe driver. Tour was in Chinese. Played back audio tape in English. - Amazing day tour. Bob our driver kept things running on time. The tour was in Chinese. It did not matter to me, because I was there to see the amazing sites. Some audio played back in English.

More than the ocean - Time spent with my family in a relaxed and informative outing. Tour guide was very helpful as he shared his knowledge of Melbourne with everyone on board. The trip was an enriching experience for us. It made us wanting to come back to enjoy the other parts of Melbourne that we do not have time for on this trip. We would definitely be getting back. Well done David Chen, you are an amazing tour guide. You made up for the not too good weather that was upon us today.

Great tour experience, Michael is a very nice guide - Took this tour since it's the cheapest online. Everything is great. Understandable that the whole tour has to finish within 12 hours but I still wish we can spend more time at the stops. Accidentally get into Chinese-only tour & become the only non-Chinese person in the group, but no issue to me since I only need the transport. Michael is very nice & make me welcome in the group regardless & made sure I'm not left behind.

Amazing - The tour was amazing but I confused that I asked for a English guide but I got the Chinese guide. Chinese guide took care of me the best, he talked to me in English but I just want to listen history of the places in English language because I cannot understand Chinese.

Be careful! This tour is in Chinese!! - I was the only European, otherwise only Chinese. Explanation in Chinese only. Of course the ride was nice, but next time again Autopia Tours - small groups and super great guides

Last minute booked tour - We visit all the locations mentioned, we stopped in service station in Colacfor 15 minutes, then in the Twelve Apostles 45 minutes, Loch Ard Gorge for 30 minutes , Apollo Bay for another one hour, we stopped to another place to see the koalas before going to Apollo Bay for 15 minutes as in the location mentioned our tour guy driver , Mr. David Chen said in the morning someone who he knows went to the Kenneth river and there's no koala so it was amazing to manage to see the koalas , after we stooped at the Memorial Arch for 15 minutes and after we went Split Point Lighthouse for 30 minutes. This tour is not suitable for everyone, as all the tourists were Chinese and most of the explanations were in Chinese. Only me and my friend were talking English, so the tour guy, Mr. David, tried to explain to us as well but I felt it was not fair talking for them for 45 minutes, and explaining to us for 5 minutes. I did understand that he translate us as much as he could but I felt we was not getting all the informations. Beside this the seats inside the bus could not be reclined during the trip, and it was really uncomfortable for 12 hours trip that you can't recline your seat at all. Thank you for the tour.

We were told we would... - We were told we would have an English guide and we got a chineses guide who spoke no English. We left the tour and the company is refusing a refund as they say we got some English. We absolutely did not get English. A passenger told us the driver said this is a Chinese speaking tour

Terrible experience. Avoid at all costs - TERRIBLE !! This is a Chinese only tour. It was a very painful experience where we and few other tourists repeatedly requested the guide to summarize the instructions in English, but he was least bothered and continued talking at length only in Chinese. Even basic instructions like meeting time and point for each of the stops were not provided in English. They falsely list it as a tour with English guide to fill their bus, which primarily has Chinese speaking guests. AVOID unless you know Chinese, else you risk wasting an entire day
