Bringing children below 3? Think again. Tour guide was very sarcastic and rude. We were 10 minutes late due to toileting but she wasnt happy and kept sating “what the hell, bloody hell” etc. Said that she has never had visitors with kids and felt it was ‘unfortunate’. Kept stating how she wanted to be first. Guide could have been better for a better experience. Other than guide, it was a pleasant trip with nice places in the cool weather.

The tour was great! Long but worth it. A lot of scenic sites and the guide was very knowledgeable and funny throughout the trip. If you only have a few days in Melbourne, this tour is one to consider for the itinerary. WL

Marvelous tour! Jack, our driver and guide was terrific…knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. The coastline and inland scenery is breathtaking. Jack searched out koalas and kangaroos for us, as well. Its a long day, but highly recommended!

What an experience!! . Thanks to Joey, I experienced one of my best trips I have made so far, coming from far, The Great Ocean Road it has something majestic, the feel of the rocks, the 12 apostle, the loch arch lodge, the sound of the sea waters. On top of that, Joey had nice stories to tell. Recommended us the good spots to eat on our lunch during our stop at Apollo Bay. Absolutely a 5 stsr experience! Only disappointing was the little van I felt it needs an upgrade with a more modern van and the seat felt uncomfortable on the return to Melbourne sitting 3hours was far too long. This didn't stop the though from enjoying the day trip. I feel appreciated and lucky for having Joey as my tour guide, photographer, driver. Thank you.
