Chris was a wonderful guide, full of great stories and laughs to keep the journey fun and interesting. The sights were stunning and the small group, reverse itinerary meant that we never ran into large crowds or were delayed at any point. We had enough time to have lunch at George's Restaurant and an amazing Scallop pie next door at Apollo Bay Bakery. Pick up was easy and getting back to the city in the evening was also perfectly on time. Thanks for the smooth day trip throughout!

Fantastic day out. Pete was a great guide who made the trip a fun and informative day. I would highly recommend doing this trip as it has a reverse itinerary to the big tour buses. We were never in a crowd.

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!

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 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 😍😎

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.

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!
