Time and money well spent! - I would absolutely recommend this tour. Paul was incredibly entertaining and is an avid story teller. One can’t help but to listen as he engages you in the history behind the great ocean road. He was very attentive to our needs and we felt very safe with him. Our ride was very comfortable and clean. The food was fantastic as well. My only regret was not doing more tours with him during our time in Melbourne.

Excellent Great Ocean Road tour - One of the best and most informative tours we have done. Paul was very knowledgeable, informative, friendly and kind. We highly reccomend this tour. He knew how to keep ahead of the crowds and the best photo spots.

Wonderful and Friendly Tour Guide!!! - Paul has gone above and beyond my expectations for this trip. My friend and I had a wonderful time the whole day we went to the Apostles. Paul is a very kind, knowledgeable and funny man. Everything you could ask for in a tour guide. He is truly a very kind person that loves what he does because you can just tell. He made my trip and it was the last event we had planned for Melbourne so it left us very happy before we went back home. I want to keep saying how kind and funny he is because I feel your guides make you feel like your a hassle in general your guides and like it is just a job they want to get over with but Paul really makes you just feel like a friend that wants to have a good day with you and teach you stuff along the way. I learned so much this trip as well from him! I would love to book with him again in future he was just wonderful! Thanks Paul!

Best guide and trip overall! - Such a memorable trip! Paul was an awesome guide! He took us to a Cafe that had the tastiest hot chocolate and treated us to a filling seafood lunch. He's wonderfully knowledgeable about everything and we very much appreciated the small group atmosphere. Must do!

Amazing experience - What a unique experience.
When they say small group, it was a small group. I was lucky to only be with 3 other travelers.
I got to seat at the front, on the passanger seat. What an amazing way to discover the Great Ocean Road.
Our guide, Alex, was just amazing. He made us feel like it was a family holiday and we were all discovering together. His knowledge on the environment was spot on. He took time to show us places with koalas, kangaroos, what more can we ask?
The lunch in Apollo bay way outstanding. The best fish and chips I've had in Australia!
Thank you for this amazing day.

Great tour, spectacular views and informative guide - Absolutely breathtaking scenery, great local lunch, plenty of bathroom breaks. Adam, our guide picked us up on time and dropped us back at our hotel. He was very knowledgeable and made the tour an absolute delight. He could spot a Koala or Kangaroo a mile away and he went out of his way to make sure we got to see them too. It was a fantastic day.

If you want to see the great ocean road, book this provider - The tour itself was worth seeing, but the guide deserves special mention, as he always tried to create a pleasant atmosphere, answer any questions that arose and proactively provide the participants with all kinds of information. The tour's equipment also differed from that of other providers. The apparently quite new Mercedes bus was clean and comfortable. Great importance was also attached to good service. Extra stops were made to spontaneously show something off the actual tour, and you were dropped off directly in front of your own hotel on the return journey.
