Peter, our tour guide, was very informative about Melbourne,the landscape and the Aussie animals. Great sense of humour too. Peter told us lots of interesting stories about the Aussie animals, experiences in Melbourne and stories about the Great Ocean road and how/ why it was formed. The buses were very comfortable and Peter went out of his way to make sure we saw everything we wanted to, and kept well on time. The sites on Great Ocean Road were absolutely stunning- including the 12 Apostles, Cape Otway, Port Campbell, rainforest etc. We saw kangaroos, koalas, various parrots and birds in the wild and Peter went out of his way to stop a few times to make sure we all saw them. Such a great day, thanks again Peter for being an excellent guide :)

Great tour - scenery was spectacular and lots of different sites to visit. Our driver/guide Barbara was excellent, very informative and good fun, she went out of her way to find some koalas and kangaroos for us to see in the wild which was great. It was a very full day so limited time at each stop - maybe an extra 15mins for lunch would have been good. Mini bus was a little cramped and on a hot day could have done with some air conditioning. Overall a great trip.

Great trip and absolutely worth it! Even though the weather was a bit unpredictable, we were lucky to get sunshine from the stunning Twelve Apostles to Loch Ard Gorge. The Maits Rest Rainforest Walk was peaceful and beautiful. Our guide Jimmy Chen was super friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great stories about the history and hidden gems along the route. He also helped us spot wild koalas and kangaroos! Everything was well-organized, the bus was comfortable, and the pacing was just right. Highly recommend!

The main reason for the five star review is our host Barbara yesterday who was joyful, informative and just a very relatable person who made the trip special. It was nice that she is aware of the environmental impact of sharing so much beauty in a sensitive way and still wants to share that beauty.

It was a beautiful day, well spent with our guide, Jimmy chan! The tour was well thought through with multiple stops, letting us experience not only the iconic spots but also the amazing rainforest, lovely beaches and even a stop for ice-cream. Our guide is also very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the history of great ocean road and more about Australian culture too. Highly recommend for all for a good, stress-free time :)

Great tour. Ann was fabulous and went above and beyond in ensuring everyone was having a good time and having a full Australian experience. We saw koalas and kangaroos in the wild! The tour stopped at all of the must-see sights with a reasonable amount of time at each stop, and had frequent opportunities for bathrooms and purchasing food/necessities.

Wayne was such a candid guide! Really recommend this trip even as a solo, there are single seats in the bus and it was comfortable for me (160cm height). The weather was great, allowing for clear view!

My family and I booked separately and were placed on separate busses, but Ann was able to reorganize the rosters so we could ride together. She was knowledgeable and went out of her way to show us both koalas and kangas in the wild. She also added on two other lookout spots and a trip to the chocolate factory...thanks Ann!
