Great tour, great Guide! - The Great Ocean Road tour was an unforgettable experience, made all the more special by our incredible guide, Jay. From the moment we started, Jay’s enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the region brought the stunning landscapes to life. His storytelling and insight into the history, wildlife, and hidden gems of the Great Ocean Road made the journey both educational and entertaining. Jay’s attention to detail and genuine care for ensuring we had the best experience possible truly set this tour apart. I highly recommend this tour and Jay as a guide for anyone looking to explore one of the world’s most beautiful coastal drives!

Greatest Experience 💫🌟 - Excellent tour
The Great Ocean tour is an excellent tour with many stops from different historical areas.
The Mini Bus was the best out of the last 4 tours we did very comfortable.
The tour is not rush and given you enough times to take photo and visit shops. The driver Guide had a enormous historical knowledge of Great Ocean view and makes this trip so enjoyable. He tells the stories with surprising and funny ending through out the trip.
We saw kangaroos 🦘 koala 🐨 in the wild was amazing.
The Great Ocean view is fantastic and we loved this trip very much. Thank you very much Tours Around Melbourne:) for all your Great moments. We highly recommend this trip for any one to visit Australia.

Memorable trip - + Comfortable van, good driving skill
+ Excellent tour guide - Jay: professional, extremely knowledgeable and well-organized. Love the way he showed passion to his job and respect to the nature, wildlife. He took us to plenty of interesting spots on the way and told us stories about them. It's such a long and rough journey (over 500 km for both way) with loads of turns easily causing tiredness and carsickness but it can be enjoyable thanks to Jay.
+ Marvelous sceneries
+ Travelling a reverse way cannot completely avoid groups of tourists but quite considerably, so have space & time for taking photos (good natural light) and getting absorbed in nature of the main spots.
- We was quite in a rush by the end of the tour, so didn't have enough time to enjoy chocolate, tea and ice cream at Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery (their ice creams were various, delicious in flavors, huge in scoop size. Highly recommended to try.) Also, it rained then, so we missed the chance to get out of the van watching a lot of kangaroos gathered but saw them far away on the field.
Overall, it's really a thrilling trip with memorable experience.

Great tour - Very good guide/driver.
Wonderful sceneries.
Nb : the stop at the chocolaté factory at the end could be removed and replaced by more time on the coast but it was only à 20 minutes stop.
I recommend this tour

Great time spent on Great Ocean Road Tour ✨ - The trip was fantastic. I've been to the Great Ocean Road once for a day trip. and I felt like I need to go again and this time I went with my partner. And loved the Comfortable Mini Bus this time in Reverse itinerary.
I found out this tour has great itineraries with the reasonable price.. The day was planned so well Morning tea ☕ lunch and evening tea with the regular Toilet stops ! and You can meet some other tourists is bonus.
The great thing was I had enough time to see everything. Even I've been to the Great Ocean Road before most of places were new to me. Seeing 12 apostles from helicopter 🚁 this time was outstanding.
Luckily, there were no people so good time to take photos. The tour is trying to show us as many as possible so I 100% satisfied with them.
We even saw 🦘 kangaroos and 🐨 koalas in the wild.
They do provide photography Our Guide walked with us at all spots and helped us to take Good pictures that was very nice. Lastly, I really appreciate the tour guide . I definitely recommend this tour.

Good but bumpy ride. - The guide/driver Jay kept up a good patter all day and made a point to avoid the other groups of tourists so we could get better views and smaller crowds. My one suggestion is to get better shocks for the rear wheels. Sitting in the back row was awfully bumpy.
