A fantastic drive with a knowledgeable driver / tour guide along the ocean road. ***** - We really enjoyed the tour and it exceeded all of our expectations of a bus trip along thr Ocean Road. Our driver/ tour guide Neil was very knowledgeable about his homeland and knew just where we might see all of the wild animals that you would ever hope to see in the south of Australia. Despite the rain at the beginning of our trip we were able to see kangaroos on a golf course. We also saw seals, a Koala and lots of wild birds such as parrots and kukaburras, basically everything you learn about but never see in the wild if you live in the northern hemisphere (except for in the zoo maybe). Neil even brought binoculars with him to allow the guests to get a better look at the animals... and was happy to stop at the road side when he spotted a kangaroo or a Koala. The tour was easy going Despite being a long day's drive and we didn't stop once at anywhere that the guide might have been offered commission to drop us at for a break. We stopped for breakfast at a normal roadside cafe with clean toilets and at a seaside town with lots of options for lunch. There was no pressure at all to visit anywhere or buy products (which I've had on plenty of other tours). If I was to recommend anything to do whilst you're visiting Melbourne I would recommend that you go out on the Great Ocean Road tour. It was brilliant. I couldn't recommend it more highly. My highlight of the day was the kangaroo hopping across the road in front of us on the way home.. but even if that hadn't happened I was happy to visit the apostles, Loch ard and all of the little towns and stop off points in between.

Neil the bus driver was a... - Neil the bus driver was a great tour leader sharing heaps of stories about Melbourne. He also managed to show us koala and seal. The other contact person though was not quite responsive and not replying to all the text via the website. They changed the date but our ticket was not updated. I had to follow up by calling them.

Amazing trip - It was more than I expected. Especially, our tour guide was amazing. He gave us a lot of information during the tour. The best thing about it was he took us a spot where we could see wild seals. I hadn’t expected that we could see it. I hope next tourists also be able to experience it.

Twelve Apostles - Not on tour, just two of us on a Great Ocean Road trip, visited the 12 Apostles on a busy Tuesday, parking very full, as it is Victorian school holidays. An amazing walk viewing various angles of the Apostles, well managed walking trail, fabulous amenities with toilets, and all absolutely free! A must world resounded place to visit on your Great Ocean Road trip.

A long day. - It was a long day, made longer by the bus breaking down in Lorne. Could have been worse places to be stuck in a couple of hours waiting on a replacement bus. Think a tour in the opposite direction may be crowded but would have been a better idea. Sun in wrong position for photos at the 12 Apostles and kiosk was allready closed when we got there. Also had limited time at last stop.
