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 such an awesome time!! the tour was excellent and the views were stunning!! jai, our tour guide was amazing and made our day even better:) from helicopter rides to snacking in a chocolaterie, this day was perfect!! jai persistently stood under the trees, determined to make us see a koala😂 and this payed off as we saw not one, but two!

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!

We had a great tour with Marty as our guide!! Would definitely recommend. The weather was predicted to be cloudy most of the day, but we lucked out with blue skies. Excellent views at each of our stops with enough time at each. We had fun searching for wild kangaroos and koalas throughout the route and were able to see a few! Definitely worth doing this smaller tour group (compared to the large buses) as we were able to get out and in the van quickly to be able to stop at random pull offs when looking for them. Marty provided interesting commentary along the way and with good humor. He made the busy day fun and relaxing. There’s no way we could have done all of this in one day if we had driven our own car, so would recommend taking this tour to see all these sites in one day. Also will note that almost all of the stops include a bathroom or at least the next bathroom isn’t too far if no bathroom at a stop. Lunch stop is in Apollo Bay with good options.

A long day but definitely worthwhile. Our tour guide Jimmy was amazing and very knowledgeable, and he helped everyone take photos. We had a great experience.

We enjoyed the amazing sceneries. We were having a good time. Thanks Jimmy for the wonderful service. Strongly recommend to join this tour.

Doing the reverse itinerary of the Great Ocean Road is a great idea as you can avoid big crowds and it just makes sense that you start from the 12 Apostles and head back to see the other sites. I also like that this tour is a small group. I also like the sites that are included in the tour. Our tour guide, Jai, was friendly, funny and informative. He made an extra effort to see the Kangaroos and Koalas in the wild to complete the experience! Overall, we loved this tour!

Had a great day on this tour. Only suggestion for the tour operators is probably to cut out one or two stops in the second half of the day and allow for longer time to be spent for all the lovely views and look out points along the Great Ocean Road in the morning. I definitely felt rushed for those.

It was an amazing tour with beautiful lifetime experiences. Very well planned. Bus was comfortable. Small groups are always nice to go with. Places to stop by were nice. Our guide Jai was super cool and fun. Very Well explained us about everything. Everyone must take this tour and should opt to go with Jai.

Weather was not good with heavy shower during the day. Tour guide Jay is very informative, responsible. Everything was on time. That’s advantage of small group. Would be better if you rent a car, travel with friends and spend a night there, then you would not miss some beautiful towns and cute wild animals.
