Amazing tour. It was great to go with my friends as we didn't have enough space for everyone in the car. This way we all got to share the experience together - incredible views, and a great tour guide. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to look at this beautiful part of the world but doesn't have a car of their own.

This was such a phenomenal experience and wonderful opportunity to get out of the city and into nature. Each stop along the Great Ocean Road offered beautiful views. Our guide Jaimes was very knowledgeable and made the tour all the more enjoyable as he shared the history and stories of the area along with a great music playlist in the bus. My favorite stop was Maits Rest - just stunning! This tour was definitely a highlight of our trip.

I would give this jam packed tour 10/10 The sights and places we went were amazing, the trip was made even better with our tour guide Jaimes, his knowledge and commentary was 10/10. Thanks Jaimes for making my tour very memorable.

This tour provided a nice variety of stops on the way to the Twelve Apostles. Our guide Budgie was very personable and did a great job of providing information, playing good themed music, and keeping everything running on schedule. We were able to spend the right amount of time at the various stops and had the most time at the Twelve Apostles. We were able to see the formations from the various platforms and take the Gibson Steps down to the beach. Also, good attention was given to meal and restroom breaks. Was pleasantly surprised to have functioning Wi-Fi on the bus. This tour is a long day, but provided the opportunity to see many lovely places outside Melbourne.

We took a bunch of photos at every stop of our Ocean Road Tour. Jacqui was awesome as she guided us through flora and fauna of the excursion. She used a white board on her visor to post return time to keep our group of 20 on schedule during stops. A genius idea! She took couples photos for us, shared so much info about the area, all from memory. She is a great storyteller too. I took pages and pages of notes. Finally, she was a great driver also as we were safely transported often with songs from Australia and her own playlist. This made a long day go by quickly and enjoyably with laughter, music and her love of nature and introspection.

Amazing trip. Well spaced stops. Close the tour guide was excellent and the WiFi on the bus saved me lots of data.

The tour was amazing, my tour guides Rachel and Noah were great! Rachel made sure to talk with every single one of us and made everyone feel special. I would give it 100 points BUT I have a little complaint…. not a bad one but it could be improved. If you’re going to talk about how proud you are about the coffee culture and that you have the best coffee in the world, don’t give your groups instant coffee please. If you want to serve instant coffee don’t talk about how great the coffee is in Australia. Or go to Market Lane Coffee or any of the amazing coffee shops and pick up good coffee🤗 that’s all! But the tour overall was great and I would recommend it to everyone visiting Melbourne!

Great scenery & good help from guide Noah. Was more than what I expected for a single day tour. Will recommend it to everyone.

Very disappointing, a road crash blocked the road to see the apostles which I accept can’t be helped but an alternative route could have been taken. Our guide was very apologetic but did not want to finish late. Viator said that we could attend the same trip the day after. We explained we already had another trip planned so would not be able to attend. The guide went on to explain we would get a full refund. Viator refused to even respond to our emails, offer any type of compensation, even a voucher off another trip would have been nice. Don’t tell people they will get a refund then ignore their e-mails. Use another company like ‘get your guide’ they are so much better and we won’t be using them again.

Nicely varied package. Favourites were the 12 apostles and spotting a koala at work. Overall experience was wonderfully enhanced by Brea who brought enthusiasm, information and insight to the trip.
