Gorgeous day out - Brilliant day! Rick has so much passion for his work, you can’t help but be inspired. The sights are amazing, the close up with the koala a fabulous plus. Highly recommended (and take a coat, it can be quite chilly even on a warm day)

Unfortunately Memories for Family - We have book the Great Ocean Ride tour for 15 of us. (10 Adult and 5 children). Matt is excellent tour guide. He has arrived early in morning at pick up point and able to comfortably explain the whole tour for full day itinerary. Able to get into mini coach and we are able set comfortable with children on board. We have full day tour with each stop able to guide in advance and keep explain about important of that place. We are able to progress the tour on time and reach each destination as expected. Also Matt able to help on taking group photos. We have blast time and create unforgettable memories for Great ocean road tour. As coming from usa to first time in Australia. This is magical experience for whole group. I will recommend others must do tour if you visiting this part of Australia. Thank you very much for this opportunity and spending great time with us !!

Breathtakingly beautiful - A fabulous tour! I can’t recommend it enough. Beautiful and fascinating sites throughout the day, and viewing the Twelve Apostles at sunset was breathtaking. Our guide Sherif was the best: informative, helpful, and friendly. He even played the didgeridoo for us as we prepared to head back to Melbourne. A most memorable experience all around.

Wonderful tour guide of Go West Tours - I booked the tour on Go West Tour's website. The guide as well as a driver is an excellent. Starting from Melbourne, she started to introduce her favorite bar, coffee, bakery and the history of buildings. When we were stuck in the traffic jam on the Great Ocean Road, she started to use the whiteboard in front of the car to play Hangman with us. She shared so many interesting stories and acted as a photographer to help us take the wonderful picture. It was cute for her that after taking photo of us, she would use our phone to take a selfie with us. Rachel is a wonderful tour guide. Go West Tour is also wonderful.
Another interesting thing that I want to share is that when Rachael drive on the road in the forest, there's a koala just stand in the middle of the road. She just stop the car and let us take a photo till the koala slowly went across the street and climb back to the tree😂

Book this now! - A great experience and spectacular views! Would recommend anyone to book with go west. Jon was an awesome guide and made the tour as comfortable as it could be. His local knowledge of the great ocean road added to the uniqueness of the tour. He also had a well curated playlist full of tunes that matched where we were in the trip. It was almost like pairing wine to a main dish. I couldn’t leave a review without shouting out the excellent choice of songs. Just like seeing the 12 apostles and the expansive ocean was a highlight, so too were the songs in the background that kept our group in good spirits.
