Loved our day. It was a long day and we were flagged by the end. And we didn't even do the driving!!! A quick stop for coffee and baked goods along the way for those who hadn't had sufficient breakfast, lots of driving with plentiful photo stops. An interesting walk in the rainforest. A chance to grab some lunch and try seafood pies at a bakery. We did get some rain as we walked towards the 12 apostles ... we all got soaked. The group in the minivan were very convivial and we had lots of laughs together. A great day. So glad we did the tour. Thanks.

Went for this day tour on May 16th and our tour guide Jimmy was fantastic in keeping us on schedule, helping us to take photos, while providing cheeky commentary at each stop. His recommendations for the lunch spot were also on point. 100% would recommend this tour, we saw so much of the Great Ocean Road and made it back in the city right after sundown.

This is our first tour in Australia and what a great beginning it has been! The tour was amazing, integrated and composed of the most famous and fabulous places that you must visit in Australia. The van was comfortable, and the allocated time for each stop was suitable. The guide was friendly, cooperative, telling the historical story behind each place and prioritizing safety as a top aim. For sure I will recommend this tour especially the reverse itinerary to avoid crowds 🔥🔥.

What an amazing day! Easy to find pickup point and good communication from the company. Tour guide Pete was friendly and determined we all had a great day. Fab being with a small group of lovely people. Views were fantastic and we learned a lot about the history and flora and fauna. Plenty of comfort breaks and breakfast and lunch stops were at really nice places. Best fish and chips for a while! We were privileged to experience really good encounters with Roos and koalas. Pete went out of his way to ensure we all had an unforgettable day. His play list was great too!!
