A long ride to see spectacular views. - We booked a private tour with viator because it allows us to customize pick up location as we rented Airbnb house, outside CBD. However, on the date our van arrived more than 20 minutes late, claiming his google map brought him to another place. When I called the office, an operator told me that our driver was stuck in traffic. Once I texted the driver our location, he came to park across the street but I waved to him to come on our side as my 76 years old mother cannot walk too far. We have 5 people in this trip. Apart from the late pick up, everything went well. Michael is friendly and professional. He let us spend time where we like with no pressure. He shared his experience about places along the way. It’s a pity that the van has no sound system, So people in the second and the third row rarely heard what he explained to us. Th van is 8-seat Mercedes Benz V-class, with no seat belts in back rows. But I can feel that Michael is an adept driver. Although the road has twists and turns, only a few of us felt car-sick. If there were good sound broadcast system and seatbelts, we would feel better. He managed to go where we should. We saw kangaroos in golf course, one koala on a tree along the way, a trail walk after lunch. The last stop, 12 apostles is worth the long ride. even we got there almost 4 p.m., he allowed us to spend time enjoying the view. the tour is 11 hours altogether. On the way back alone, it was two hours 40 minutes. And you need a reliable driver like Michael. Overall, It’s a worthwhile experience. A private tour is suitable for a big family.

Great Ocean dr tour - The Great Ocean driver reverse tour and the guide Wes were amazing. I wanted to customise the tour as per my preference. John and Wes were good to suggest private tour and the reverse travel option worked so well that we got ample of time at 12 apostles with less tourists. I highly recommend Melbourne Touring Co for the Great Ocean drive tour.

Amazing views - The views were amazing and we took a lot of beautiful photos. Our tour guide, Wes, was very friendly and knowledgeable. The whole trip took around 12 hours, was long but very enjoyable ride.

Be Prepared to be Amazed! - We had the best time on this tour. Royce was great. He made it easy and fun. Door to door service. I have more photos of this tour than any of the others I went on. It was very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you !

Experienced tour operator for families - Highly recommended. We did 3 tours with John and his team on 3 days, Great ocean road, Penguin parade & Phillip island ,MCG & City tour with 21 seater private minibus. All tours were well organized. John picked us from the airport at our arrival in Melbourne's airport . Since we were a big group with kids too, he made us feel comfortable and worry free for our tour plans.

Excellent - John's company provides outstanding service and tours and I would highly recommend the Melbourne Touring Company. Michael was our tour guide and he was excellent, very knowledgeable and personalable.

Incredible experience - This was a fantastic tour! John was so responsive and helpful when we were planning the tour. He was super accommodating. Rainer was an incredible tour guide. He was knowledgable, kind, and flexible. Would recommend this company to anyone!

Perfect private tour for Great Ocean Road - EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT even when the weather was not cooperating. We got Wes, the BEST guide and driver of our trip. He was attentive, very communicative and takes great initiative all the time. My sister requires wheelchair access and throughout the stops, Wes was simply wonderful, stepping in whenever we found it difficult to manage, to the point where my mom trusted him enough to "let go" and have his assistance. Very very lovely trip we had, given the flexibility in a private tour. We managed to see the 12 Apostles without the usual hoards of crowd and the wild koala sightings! Everything was just perfect, honestly. Can't fault a thing. Please request for Wes! He's very very very patient, kind and really, just lovely. Thank you, John, for arranging everything.

Phenomenal sights and great company. Definitely a worthwhile experience. - We booked a private tour for ourselves as a couple and it was a magnificent decision as it really allowed us to customize the tour and spend more time in the places we enjoyed the most. Beyond the beauty of the scenic route, our guide Wes was a treasure trove of information, kept us well-entertained, put up with all of our questions and requests, and was just an all-around great guy and a charismatic story-teller. He certainly made our trip memorable and the value he added made it well worth it. He also met my girlfriend’s demanding photography standards and gave us loads of tips on where to eat, go, and even when it would be a good time to catch a nap as we drove along! As for the tour itself, we got an early start at 7 and our route (as advised by Wes) went counter clockwise and started off with a quick coffee before heading straight to the Apostles. That allowed us to have almost every stop we did to ourselves without any crowds or tour buses and by the time we got around to Apollo Bay for a quick lunch the tour buses were already gone and we again got plenty of space to ourselves. Along the route are some incredible natural formations, gorgeous forests, and plenty of cattle ranches, dairy farms, and quaint towns. We were lucky enough to spot a few kangaroo mobs, an Echidna, a Wallaby, and even a Koala! A truly memorable trip and we couldn’t be more grateful to the Melbourne Tour Company for accommodating us on a short notice; and Wes: You went above and beyond to ensure our day was absolutely memorable, we had an incredible time! Thank you a bunch from Michy and myself.

Wes was Incredible!! Amazing Day on the Great Ocean Road - Amazing views were complimented my an amazing knowledgeable guide in Wes. Wes gave great recommendations on stops to make creating a unique and memorable day.
