Really enjoyed the tour. Glen was a fantastic guide. Super personable and gave us the perfect amount of information. Great Ocean Road is incredibly beautiful and you can’t miss it if coming to Melbourne.

Other than having to get up at a God awful time in the morning to catch the shuttle (but I was also coming in from the suburb on the train), it was a perfect tour! Kevin was great! Great driver...I sat in the front with him since everyone else with companions needed the coupled seats. He made great safety driving decisions and was patient with drivers that need to go back to driving school. He was VERY much into augmenting our experience...all the little details ie saw a kaolo bear in the envt and stopped van safely to have us get out and see, set the boundaries and expectations perfectly when trip started, during and summed up our day at the end. He was personable, very knowledgeable and gave 100% w a great attitude. I would absolutely recommend him and the tour company to anyone. Great vans...comfortable ride. The itinerary was great...Just as you get bored or dozed, there was a stop but not too busy either. Beautiful sights and points that were worthwhile. You'll enjoy it!

It is a long day, but worth it. Having a smaller group let us explore more with our great guide/driver Jimmy. We pulled over to spot koalas sleeping in trees or kangaroos hanging out on a golf course. The coast is stunning and be prepared for 4 seasons of weather in 5 min. This is true nature.

We had such a good time with Jimmy Chan - he was very knowledgable, told lots of stories and anecdotes, navigates smoothly and safely, found perfect spots - which allowed us to see koala and kangaroos in the wild. Can absolutely recommend for a day out to explore the great ocean road!

Jimmy is an amazing tour guide, extremely knowledgeable and fun. We found the trip extremely good value for money and a very clever idea to do the Great Ocean Road in reverse, thus avoiding the crowds. I highly recommend this trip which is very well organised with ample stop offs with a great guide!
