Great Experience - The trip through the Great Ocean Road to the Twelve Apostoles, Loch Ard George and London Bridge was unique.
Also the night spent at Halls Gap and the visit to Granpians National Park was great.

Craig the tour guide made the tour fun! - Excellent worth for value 2 days tour to Great Ocean Road and Grampian! The tour guide Craig was fabulous! He made the effort to go extra miles making sure that everyone enjoys and are comfortable. He has great jokes that helps to keep the long rides fun! I’ve been to many local tours around the world and Craig is the best guide I’ve met so far. I will definitely recommend this tour under Craig!

GREAT ocean road - Just got back from this two day Great Ocean Road/ Grampians tour and would thoroughly recommend it. The group was only eight people which meant we were able to spread out on the bus and make the most of our stops.
Guide Craig was one of the highlights of the whole trip for me. I got to sit in the passenger seat, see the unobstructed views of the Great Ocean Road and spend the hours in the bus chatting and joking with him which made the drive feel much quicker and more enjoyable. Craig is a very knowledgeable tour guide, a fascinating human being and all round cool guy. We were able to see Kangaroos, Koalas, Emus, Echidnas and a lizard. The Eco YHA at Halls Gap was one of the nicer hostels I’ve stayed in. It had a spacious relaxed atmosphere and breakfast was provided in the morning. Lots of great stops and appropriate toilet breaks on Day 1 and 2. I definitely recommend walking as much of the scenic stops as time allows to make the most of the amazing views and if you’re driving from Melbourne sit on the left of the bus to get the best views of the Ocean Road. Thanks Craig for the tour, GEDDON.

An amazing 2 day trip! - We had a great trip with Al along the Great Ocean Rd and into the Grampians. The views were incredible and, although day 1 was very long, we thoroughly enjoyed it. The Great Otway rainforest was a beautiful surprise also!

Long first day, but worth it! - I enjoyed this experience, I'm glad I went and, as a solo traveler, found it not only interesting in itself but also a great way to socialize a little. It was nice to see as many young people on the bus as there were! The tour guide, Dandi was excellent. He was personable, articulate, and caring. He shared interesting stories of the areas we traveled through, as well as information on Australian culture, the indigenous people, and even of his own family, which was delightful. I appreciated that times, he put on music playlists of Australian artists to entertain as we made our way through some 600km of road on the first day.
I did not realize just how long the first day was to be. We were picked up at 7:30am and didn't see a bed until 11pm!
The second day was a full one, starting at 7am for breakfast so the group can then get out to see the animals before they settle away with the sun high in the sky.
All in all, we saw a lot and went a long way!
I didn't pack a jacket as it was so hot when we left Melbourne, but the weather turned by late afternoon and I wished I had.
