Beautiful sights and interesting tour - Hi did the one day trip and it was just fantastic. We stopped off at lots of spots on the Great Ocean Road and saw so many beautiful sights! Our tour guide James was great and very knowledgable, and great at spotting animals like koalas, kangaroos and echidnas. It didn’t feel like we were in a rush at any point and felt like we had more than enough time to explore the different places. Overall it was really fun and I would definitely recommend!

James is the best! - James was a great guide. He was funny yet informative, always making sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. Our group size was 16 and it was the perfect size. I went solo and it was a great experience to meet other young people.

Unforgettable day trip out of Melbourne - An amazing day trip! Undoubtedly, one of the highlights of my Australian vacation. Great scenery and amazing views, both wildlife and nature, highly recommended to anyone! The concept of tour for backpackers was a great choice, would I have more time I’d take the two days itinerary. Our tour guide Guy was incredible, made the day unique and unforgettable.

Must do, if you don't have a car - Guy was a lovely tour guide, we got to see all sorts with very few other people around. Wild koalas and kangaroos, great views on the 12 apostles and interesting little bits of information form Guy himself. Plus his playlist was a smash

You must do it ! - I had an amazing experience on the Great Ocean Road tour! The pickup was right on time, and the driver drove safely, making the already stunning drive even more enjoyable. The guide was full of cool and insightful information throughout the journey, but I do wish he had a microphone in the car so we could hear him better while driving. A must-do is grabbing seafood in Hope Island—absolutely delicious! The guide also brought along a professional camera and sent us all the photos afterward, which was a thoughtful touch. Was it worth the money? I'd say so! If I could add anything, it would be more conversation during the car ride, with more details about the surrounding area. Overall, a fabulous day!

The perfect self-guided tour - We had the most amazing day out with Mark. He was a super useful guide, whilst also letting us explore at various locations on the Great Ocean Road. You have more than enough time at each stop to get off and explore - we never felt rushed. The sights are all breathtaking, and we even had tea & TimTams in Koala land. This tour is a must do in Melbourne! Tip: make sure to sit on the right side of the bus for the best views

Book it, you won’t regret it! - Our guide, Raph, was amazing. The size of the group (16) was perfect. Easy to manage and everyone was on time. The places we stopped at were incredible and the lunch recommendation was totally worth it. I highly recommend this tour. The reverse itinerary is very smart!
