The tour guide was very informative. We got multiple breaks and the tour did not seem too long nor hectic. We got enough time to visit the main locations as mentioned in the trip and even more. The tour was completely worth it !

our tour guide works real real hard. He treats all visitors with enthusiasm. Every story he tells visitors is accompanied by appropriate music. He deep cleaned the bus when visitors ate in the restaurant.

We had an absolutely fantastic time with our guide Chris P - ‘’Kiwi’’, he was full of great information about each place we visited on the tour and provided lots of background information too. We would highly recommend anyone going on this tour with him.

Chris (Kiwi) was a great guide/driver. He was extremely knowledgeable and taught us a lot. It was great to have him accompany us on a couple of the walks. It is a long day but we worth it. Highly recommend this tour and would love to have Kiwi on any other tour. He us a wealth of history and stories.

I really had a blast during my trip and I would like to commend Adan for all the great tips and information during our trip! I learned alot! It was really an amazing trip and I would truly recommend this trip if youre going to melbourne. Thank you once again adan for a comforting/relaxing trip. It may be a 1 day trip but it seems that everything is not in a rush and the flow of the tour is perfect! Cheers!!

We went on the Great Ocean Road Reverse tour with Nial (sorry for the spelling). We had a wonderful day, and Nial was simply incredible!! He was a wealth of information and was a very safe driver during the long, windy road drive. Thank you for a great tour.

Chris P aka Kiwi is clearly passionate about his job. He was very informative and kept me engaged throughout the journey with his interesting facts and stories with a little humour thrown in here and there! The views are lovely and I can imagine they are even better on a sunnier day.

Great guide/driver Kiwi filled the day with details unknown otherwise. So much to see and was worth the full day to experience it all!

Chris "Kiwi" our guide today is very pleasant, funny, helpful and full of service. Very satisfied with my trip this time. I took many picture and all the place we visit today is amazing and superb. Thanks

Chris P (AKA Kiwi!) was a great tour guide. He was super knowledgeable about everything and eager to share as much as he could. The bus was clean and comfortable. We didn’t have great weather which was such a shame as I think the views would’ve been even better but it was great to see so much of “real” Australia. An early start and a long day but the sandwiches for lunch were really lovely and there were plenty of comfort breaks.
