Amazing tour and even more amazing tour guide! John was incredible as a tour guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive to everyone. The tour was absolutely incredible. Everything you are looking for and more! The 12 Apostles were breathtaking but all the other stops were very pretty as well. We managed to see wild kangaroos, koalas, cockatoos, a kookaburra and even a killer whale! Absolutely amazing! Don't miss out! Thank you John for everything! VAHermalita

What a fantastic day! The scenery was spectacular. Lots of stops for photo opportunities. Long day of driving but well worth it; the drive was broken up with plenty of stops.

Amazing tour! We were with Jimmy, our tour guide, who gave us so many helpful insights and facts during the tour and told stories that made the whole experience very memorable. The scenery itself is unforgettable, especially the Lock Ard Gorge and 12 Apostles stop, and the itinerary is the perfect length with the right amount of stops/time at each stop. We also saw koalas, wallabies, and kangaroos along the way, and Jimmy was a pro at spotting them. You eat lunch at Port Campbell/Apollo Bay (you pay yourself) and there are stops for breakfast and ice cream at the end as well. The reverse itinerary is very good; helps to avoid all the crowds and traffic coming back to Melbourne. Highly recommend for visiting the Great Ocean Road!MaLouise_D

Wonderful tour. Jimmy was a great guide and driver. Punctual and held the group together. Stunning vistas of the coast, and bonus koala sightings up close. Will definitely recommend to friends who will visit Melbourne.
