Loved everything about it,it felt like a close friend was showing me around and not a complete stranger. I wish we were staying longer so we could do P Island as well. 10/10 experience and will do it again when back. PAT C is a great guy and a great host, thank you so much for allowing us to see your version of this part of the world.

Great tour with our driver/ guide Lorinda. We had a small bus for max 9 persons which was ideal. Very professional and friendly Lorinda showed us all the perfect spots where you could see the best views. Very good lunch restaurant. Lorinda told us a lot of information about the neighbourhood and plants and animals. She even knew the spots most likely to see koala's in the wild. Highly recommended.

That was a fabulous day out! From coast to country and back again, finishing at the 12 apostles, which I’ve always wanted to see. Our tour host was really accommodating: as we were a small group, he even made a couple of impromptu stops and detours, particularly in our search to see a koala.. we saw 2!! Plenty of coffee, vegan choc balls and the van really is comfortable. Lunch at Apollo Bay, glass of wine and even got some gift shopping in. Definitely recommend.

Curtis is an excellent tour guide, he drove 12 hours today, we went to 13 Apostles + the Great Oatways National Park today, he explained every thing & places very well! Bravo!

Almost a personalized tour when Michael, our guide, attentively took the group further down the beaten path in Otways National Park, showed and explained in the most entertaining way. You would not want to miss this tour as a small group is a plus.
