Family Road Trip to Great Ocean Road - Great tour exactly as advertised - small group for 11 pax in our group.
Jimmy Chen, our driver and tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and patient. He was clearly very experienced in driving this route and paced it very well. This tour is suitable for the entire family, young (2 kids 4 and 8y) and old (70+y). They arranged door to door pickup and a child seat for my 4y old too.
Highly recommended!

Wonderful day of beautiful beaches and wildlife - Exceeded our expectations ! Marty was a terrific driver and guide. We enjoyed his humor and enthusiasm and comments about all that we were seeing. Even though the weather was slightly rainy, we got great photos and enjoyed the entire day. Saw koala and kangaroos. Highly recommended!!

The Great Ocean Road has exceeded my already high expectations, incredible landscapes! A MUST on a trip to Australia - The tour is 100% recommended and I think it is worth doing the opposite of most and also arriving back to Melbourne earlier, especially when the days are short since you arrive at night. The guide we had, Rio, was great, he explained everything perfectly and was very friendly and you could tell that he likes and enjoys his work. The Great Ocean Road is a MUST and conveys the beauty, essence and immensity of Australia, simply spectacular 😍😎

Great tour in reverse - Rio was a fantastic guide, we had a lovely day and perfect amount of time between stops. Some people would obviously like to do longer but given it's a 12 hour day it was perfect for me.

Wonderful experience! - We had a wonderful full day tour with Jai to the Twelve Apostles and Great Ocean Road! He made sure that the day was an experience, rather than just another tour! Took us to the most beautiful sites and helped us to take some stunning photos of the amazing landscapes that the Great Ocean Road had to offer! Made sure we spotted koalas in the wild and kangaroos! To top it off he took us to a lovely Chocolaterie on the great ocean road and had us all in high spirits on the way back! Thank you Jai for the wonderful day!

Excellent tour! - We had a great tour with Marty as our guide!! Would definitely recommend. The weather was predicted to be cloudy most of the day, but we lucked out with blue skies. Excellent views at each of our stops with enough time at each. We had fun searching for wild kangaroos and koalas throughout the route and were able to see a few! Definitely worth doing this smaller tour group (compared to the large buses) as we were able to get out and in the van quickly to be able to stop at random pull offs when looking for them. Marty provided interesting commentary along the way and with good humor. He made the busy day fun and relaxing. There’s no way we could have done all of this in one day if we had driven our own car, so would recommend taking this tour to see all these sites in one day. Also will note that almost all of the stops include a bathroom or at least the next bathroom isn’t too far if no bathroom at a stop. Lunch stop is in Apollo Bay with good options.

Definitely a Great Ocean Road Experience - Doing the reverse itinerary of the Great Ocean Road is a great idea as you can avoid big crowds and it just makes sense that you start from the 12 Apostles and head back to see the other sites. I also like that this tour is a small group. I also like the sites that are included in the tour. Our tour guide, Jai, was friendly, funny and informative. He made an extra effort to see the Kangaroos and Koalas in the wild to complete the experience! Overall, we loved this tour!
