Big up Joe! - What a day! Totally brilliant and made so special by lovely Joe. Joe is full of wisdom and knowledge about all things Australia but it’s his magical sparkle and flare for storytelling that really captivated me all day. I loved learning about each location and places on our journey. Joe also took us to his special koala and kangaroo spots to ensure we saw them in the wild. He made me feel so cared for all day and as a solo traveler this was lovely. Everyone on board was really nice too and the cafe and ice cream stops en route were also perfectly planned out. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another trip, especially with Joe! Thank you so much!

Enjoyable day!! - It was a lovely experience. The company is trustworthy, and the guide Anthony is very kind and careful about our well-being. The trip is really good, and the view is worth the journey there. I did a reverse tour, which was really good because we could get to the main point early and with very few people around. I definitely recommend it.

Good experience - Really good way to see the Great Ocean Road and 13 apostles from Brisbane.
Lots of information and stops that you might miss if doing the trip independently.
To do the trip from Melbourne you really need 2 days if driving yourself so this was a good way to see it in a day with a driver.

Great sites on the ocean road. - Our guide was delightful. He was knowledgeable, professional and very kind. He showed great concern for everyone’s needs. We all wanted to see wild life in their natural habitat and our guide worked hard to make it happen. We saw multiple koala bears including a baby as well as kangaroos.
Just as a heads up: the ocean road is very curvy. If you’re prone to motion sickness, I’d recommend that you take a Dramamine and sit up front on the bus.
I gave the tour a 4, only because the lunch needs a little upgrade.
