Comfortable tour bus and professional tour guide/ bus driver that knows his job well. I enjoyed seeing The Great Ocean Road and all the natural beauty in the part of Victoria. It was a long day but well worth it. I highly recommend.

This was an amazing tour. Great value for the cost. We had 8 stops and each one was perfectly chosen. Timing was bang on. Our coach bus was clean and comfortable. Our driver/guide (Peter) made the trip. He was kind, patient, funny and super informative! We couldn’t have asked for a better day!
