Thumbs up to our tour guide GUI !! Even though we went to the wrong pickup point he drove all the way to pick us up to make sure we aren’t left behind. The van is quite comfortable and spacious, we are able to keep social distance inside the van and it’s truly covid safe for the entire trip. There’s many stop for toilet and photos. Lucky us to be able to see koala having it’s afternoon nap high up the tree!! It’s an unforgettable trip and we really enjoyed ourselves very much!

Excellent group to travel with and the guide was super informative. Could never have completed this in the amount of travel time we had to experience the best of this area south of Melbourne. It was a very long day, but well worth it. Well thought out stops along the way. If you are limited on time in Melbourne this is an excellent way to see the 12 apostles.

It was such a nice day! We saw koalas, kangaroos, and amazing views. Our guide Peter was super nice and professional, and we learned a lot about the Great Ocean Road! The bus was comfortable and everything went smoothly. This is a great way to see as much as possible if you don’t have a lot of time to spare - although on the road I kind of hoped I had taken a several day trip as there were so many amazing places where I would’ve liked to stay for longer. I definitely recommend this trip for everyone! One thing to keep in mind though if you’re young like me; this is not a backpacker tour, so if you’re looking for a younger crowd, this might not be the best one for you. I really enjoyed it though! :)
