The high point of my trip to Australia! - My friend and I booked a custom 3-day tour that allowed us to experience the Great Ocean Road and Grampians National Park. Our guide James made sure we got to see all the highlights. He was extremely knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the beautiful scenery and trails as well as life in Australia in general. We appreciated the care James took to set expectations when recommending lodging and places for meals which were always excellent. I got to experience many things during my time in Australia but the tour with James was the high point for me. Would highly recommend this company.

Beautiful Sights and the BEST way to travel - My family had the pleasure of joining James on a private 3 day Great Ocean Road tour in April 2021. James was easy to communicate with before the trip (I had a million questions) and made great recommendations for places to stay. He picked us up at our hotel in Melbourne, the car was spotless with plenty of space for my family of 4, and off we went. For three days James took us along the beautiful Great Ocean Road. This was the best way to travel! My partner got to enjoy the views instead of having to focus on driving. James knew all the good places to stop for hikes as well as the best sightseeing spots and even arranged our helicopter tour bookings at the 12 Apostles. He was also full of information about the area, which we wouldn’t have gotten had we driven the road without a guide. My 11 & 13 year olds were less than thrilled to learn our holiday plan was to drive along a road and look at things but between the helicopter ride, kangaroo tour and treetop adventure they had plenty of fun! One of the best parts of this tour was that after we made the decision to book, I didn’t really have to make any other decisions the entire trip…we just followed the itinerary James had mapped out for us! If you are considering seeing the Great Ocean Road, I highly recommend James and Great Ocean Road Tours!

What a trip! - We were fortunate to have 3 days to see this fabulous road. Most, it would appear rush down in one day. I just don’t get the point in doing that. Even our 3 days, were packed full of sightseeing. Up early visiting places and often not back until the late afternoon. The tour was Well organised, had good variety of things to see/do and was well tailored to our interests and fitness level. James our guide and driver for the 3 days was a local, which really took the experience to the next level.

Well orchestrated tour for our silver wedding anniversary - Well after 25 years of putting up with me, I suppose I had to reward my wife somehow. So rather than buying the usual piece of overpriced designer rubbish, I thought I would treat her to an experience. And what an experience it was! James initially guided me through the booking process. He didn’t push me into the 3 day tour. In fact he initially recommend the 2 day tour, but given we are slightly older, we wanted to take it a bit slower, plus we had a whole week in Melbourne, so we decided upon the 3 day tour. James’ flexibility and excellent driving skills, ensured we avoided the crowds at most stops. It appears that most people visit the road in one day and congregate in certain areas at certain times of the day. So we avoided that heavy flow, which meant when we arrived at certain attractions, we were the only tourists there, which made some spots very tranquil, which is how they should be seen in the first place. A lovely tour and thankfully my wife was both surprised and very happy with her anniversary gift experience. Sadly though, she might think this is how every anniversary will be each year from now on. I guess I’ll have to put my thinking cap on for that.
