So much scenery it’s stunning! - It’s a long day but the number of sites they packed into it was worth it. Lots of stops, opportunities to stretch, use a washroom or walk to a scenic lookout. The scenery along the way is incredible.

Fantastic day - Ann was our tour guide and made our trip the best day. She shared so much information, stories and history. She went out of her way to make sure we all had a great day. The stops were well timed. The ocean views were amazing and no crowds. We had an amazing koala encounter on our return and we saw kangaroos. Fantastic day!

Great ocean road tor - Patrick was our guide…outstanding! He picked us up on time (6:30am) and our adventure started. He was professional and informative as we drove along. We made rest stops every couple of hours, visited sites along the route, great view of ocean, forests, dunes, and towns. Patrick had some stories (shipwreck, love story) to share with us. He promised Koala sitings, kangaroo sitings, and ice cream…and delivered. Bonus… we saw a cockatoo & echidna. We arrived back in Melbourne at 6:30pm. Long day, but exceeded our expectations.

Fabulous day on the Great Ocean Road - The tour was simply great. The reverse itinerary meant that we beat the crowds all day, and also that we got the long drive out of the way at the start of the day. By the time we turned away from the coast, it was a relatively short run back to Melbourne. Peter, our driver and guide, was absolutely excellent. He was knowledgeable and informative, and clearly had a great love for the landscape and the wildlife. He made sure we had time to see as much as possible, without at any point herding us around. Cafe La Hoot in Winchelsea was a great way to start the day, and kept us fuelled until we got to our lunchtime lobster rolls in Apollo Bay.

This tour was a great way... - This tour was a great way to maximize time and see as much of the great ocean road as possible in one day. Our tour guide Kevin was great and kept us well informed the whole time! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone traveling to the area.

An awesome tour for one day - Our tour guide, Patrick, didn’t just show us the breathtaking landscapes; he also shared fascinating insights about each location. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour even more enjoyable. If you want to experience not only the stunning 12 Apostles but also spot koalas and kangaroos in the wild while learning about the rich history of the area, I highly recommend booking a tour with Patrick.

What a Day! - This was a fantastic jam packed trip and our tour guide/driver Val? sorry can't remember his name was very good with lots of information and really wanted to make our day out fun and interesting. We managed to see Koalas in the trees and Kangaroos at the golf club. Seeing the Apostles was fabulous and had a great sunny day. We stopped at Apollo Bay for lunch but would have loved to have stayed there for a bit longer to walk along the front a bit, and explore the shops but we had times to adhere to if we wanted to achieve all that the tour included. Really enjoyed the trip, fabulous.
