A fantastic way to spend the day and see some incredible sites - Our guide Jay seemed very passionate about not only taking us to see some amazing locations but, also providing plenty of information about the rich history of the area. He made the day fun and interactive and was only too happy to have a chat. The bus and tour size was great as it was small enough to seem more like a private tour. We highly recommended Tours around Melbourne.

Thanks Heaps " Tours Around Melbourne" For Such a Fantastic day " Tour" - My experience touring the Great Ocean Road was nothing short of spectacular. The journey, winding along Australia’s southeastern coast, offers breathtaking views at every turn, from rugged cliffs to pristine beaches. The Twelve Apostles, those iconic limestone stacks rising from the ocean, were a highlight—absolutely stunning in person, especially at sunrise when the light bathes them in a golden glow. The road itself is a marvel of engineering, curving gracefully along the coastline ( Built by world war 1 returnee Soldiers) with the ocean on one side and lush rainforest on the other. Every stop offered something unique, whether it was the tranquil beauty of Loch Ard Gorge or the charming seaside town of Lorne. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating stories about the area's history, wildlife, and culture. He also made sure we had plenty of time to take in the sights and snap photos without feeling rushed. It was a delight spotting koalas & Kangaroos in the wild at Kennett River. The sight of these adorable creatures lounging in the eucalyptus trees was a memory I’ll cherish. The tour was well-paced, with a good balance of driving and stopping to explore. The Mini Bus was comfortable, and the small group size made the experience feel more personal. overall, this tour was a fantastic way to experience one of Australia’s most famous coastal drives. It’s a must-do for anyone visiting the region. Thanks Heaps " Tours Around Melbourne" For Such a Fantastic day " Tour"

Beautiful and fun - We had a great trip with my family. The trip was really fun and the great Ocean road is one of my favourite places to visit. I drove this previously but the tour bus just means you can spend more time enjoying with your family. The tour guide was very funny and timely.

Fun and Carefree - This was an amazing trip! We're glad we took this tour bus as opposed to driving ourselves. We didn't have to worry about planning. It didn't feel tiring at all and my parents and wife all had a lot of fun.

Highly recommend. You get a lot for the price. - I'm not a "tour" person but this was nice with only 11 people in our van. Our driver & guide Mark was very informative and I learned so much more than if I had rented a car and did this myself. The reverse course was brilliant as we had the first few stops all to ourselves. Tip: Bring a neck pillow for the long stretches especially the first one.
