Our guide, Luke was amazing! He kept us entertained throughout the whole journey with his jokes and singing! It made a long day very fun! He was just an amazing presence to be around as he was enthusiastic. Shared plenty of information about different places and even pointed out surfers in the sea and wildlife along the road! The best part of the trip was the helicopter at the Twelve Apostles!! Would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a fun time! 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Our favorites were the Twelve apostles and the Loch Ard Gorge. We enjoyed our lunch at Waves. Our tour guide, Bert, was the best! We were able to go to all the spots indicated in the tour. It didn’t feel rushed. We even had a stop to see some koalas along the way.

We booked the full day tour with Sightseeing Tours Australia and had a fantastic day! John was our bus driver and he was awesome! We went along the Great Ocean Road and John stopped at all the best vantage points to capture photos. We had morning tea supplied (tea, coffee, biscuits and lamingtons) John was informative and engaging and made us all laugh throughout the day. We also saw koalas in the trees as well as a field full of kangaroos and John stopped the bus for us to all pile out and take photos once again. Lunch was at a seaside village and we had heaps of time to decide what to buy. At the end of the day as the sun was setting he made sure he stopped for us all to take those last minute photos. The tour was excellent value and I'd encourage everyone to book this tour. 10/10

The location was good but the vechicle was terrible. Supposed to be a midsize coach , but was a 28 seater old and very uncomfortable for such a long tour.

Kalai_R

Seeing koalas on the drive along ocean rd. Beautiful scenery. Tour guide was rather agitated. He was more worried on the group being on time rather than explaining more on the 12 Apostles.

Gaurav_P

Excellent trip and James the guide & driver was fantastic during the trip. Timings and instructions were crucial considering length of this trip and to complete on time.

It was an awesome day. Our guide JAMES was EXCELLENT. He was witty, a mine of knowledge and information about the trip and very helpful. He took us round the most beautiful road journey and gave us a glimpse of the most wonderful spots. The highlight of the journey was sighting the Koalas and kangaroos besides the Apostles and it was his inherent knowledge of the area which helped us see those wonderful animals in their natural habitat. I would like to really thank JAMES for all his insights about the Australian history and the flora and fauna which made this trip a memorable one.

I had an amazing day. Burt, the tour guide, was phenomenal. I learnt so much from him. This is a great tour. Highly recommended.

dickenm2015

A truly great experience, and a fantastic tour guide (James Clark), which made all the difference. James made the day by sharing his historical knowledge of Melbourne along with great humor and putting all the tourists at ease. The tour itself gave a great insights, beautiful scenery and we even saw a Koala and a Mob of Kangaroos in the wild! I'd thoroughly recommend this tour to others!
