Excellent tour - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The itinerary was well-planned, with several stops for walking and hiking in interesting places, toilet stops, and lunch breaks on both days. The guide was respectful, knowledgeable and experienced. Touring the Great Ocean Road in 2 days is a good way to really enjoy the beautiful scenery: it doesn't feel rushed. This is quite an active tour (lots of walking). Morning tea on both days is a light snack. It would have been helpful to know that breakfast stops are not included; you need to provide your own or ask the driver to stop somewhere so you can pick something up. The chocolaterie stop was a nice surprise with generous free chocolate samples! Our only complaint was that music not to our taste was played nonstop during the drive.

Our guide, he is the... - Our guide, he is the best. He tried to find a koala on the tree and got 2 koalas on the tree. He has a big voice properly for tour group. He is very clear so we made our trip the best. I suggest staying at Apolo bay over night.

Definitely a great choice and a must-go tour! - It’s great that we visited the Great Ocean Road the whole way from Torquay to Warrnambool. All of the amazing landmarks along the coast, awesome beaches, stunning scenery at the lookout, and wonderful birds’ singing and enormous natural species in the rainforest have been all carved in our memory. Walter, our tour guy, did a wonderful job of leading us spying all the gorgeous views, plants and animals all the way. We even saw koalas and wallabies walking along the road. Once in a life time, you must come and experience here.

Good itinerary but tour guide attitude needs to be improved - The itinerary for this tour is good but there are few need to be improved. 1) tour guide did not check name while picking up passenger. 2) Tour guide did not care about passenger comfortability despite informing him to switch on air-conditioner and change seat 3) tour guide providing inaccurate room rate of AUD 1804/night when asking for room upgrade to ensuite room. Tour operator should inform customer if room upgrading was unavailable in advance and not when I emailed as I have indicated it during booking. The coach is a bit squeezy for 11 people. I am Asian, small size already feel discomfort and if there was no window, good to switch on air-conditioner for comfortability. Perhaps, company should us bigger coach for 11 people or extra carriage behind the coach so that passenger can sit more comfortable.

Bad trip - Our guide Walter was not friendly and his driving skills is horrible. Basically just drop you here and there with various spots like a driver, but a poor one. Would not recommend if you want to enjoy a laid-back holiday.
