From pick-up to drop-off we had an amazing experience. Mark was an incredible guide, heaps of experience and wonderful anecdotes. There was loads of stops along the route to stretch your legs and get your daily steps in, whilst seeing all the marvellous sites that were planned. The last stop at the chocolate shop was an absolute treat. What a stunning adventure

This was an all day event and value priced. Peter was our driver. He was knowledgeable, entertaining and a very cautious driver! He made every effort to make sure we saw wildlife in their natural habitat. He placed our safety above all. We were returned to a convenient location.

I try to learn something new everyday, and Kara taught me enough to last me the next 60 days. The best tour I’ve ever been on. And the most incredible tour guide. If you can request a guide, get Kara. So knowledgeable, polite and caring. The most perfect tour guide. Everything about today was magical. Seeing so many breathtaking views and wildlife creatures on the great ocean road made today one of the best days of my life. I was smiling from ear to ear the whole trip!!!

Anne was terrific providing lots of interesting commentary throughout the day. The Great Ocean Road is stunning. However unless you sit in first 2 rows, the seats are much too small and cramped. There were 11 guests plus a driver and for a 12 hr trip, the space was inadequate for at least 5 guests. This needs to be in a larger more comfortable van. Also, trip could be done in 10 hrs.

Anne was our tour guide and she was wonderful. Accommodating, friendly, efficient, a good driver and knowledgeable. The day was windy and wet at times but she put our safety first. I highly recommend going on this tour. The scenery is amazing.

Really informative and packed day out. Our guide was brilliant and we stopped at all the right times for breakfast and lunch. The reverse tour of the great Ocean Road was genius to miss the crowds.
