Best tour ever - If I were to say anything about this 3 day tour I would say, just take this one. This is the best tour which will immerse you in everything great possible. And the best part of the trip was my guide Janet. I just love her. She is so kind and informative and really takes care of yourself like family . 100/10 for this tour.

Definitely worth the money! - Janet was a great tour manager. She provided us with information (about the itinerary) and background information on many areas as well as myths and stories throughout the tour, and also gave us tips for Melbourne/Adelaide. Her many (personal) stories made the trip very entertaining. When she wasn't telling us facts, she played (local) music so that the trips were never boring. She gave us as much knowledge as possible about Australia's nature and animals. Thanks to her, everyone was also able to see beautiful landscapes, even if we couldn't do the Grampians Hiking Tour because some people had difficulty walking. I was really grateful for that! All in all, the group had a wonderful time thanks to her!

Stunnin !! - The 3 day trip was an absolute blast from start to finish! Literally did not stop laughing. We saw so much amazing stuff and really enjoyed the hikes and different sights. Jordan was such a great guide, he's super knowledgeable and fun and has the best music taste (have been listening to lots of Hamish Imlach since the tour). He took us to loads of cool places and even gave us plenty of recommendations for Melbourne which we've been ticking off! The bus vibe was super comfy and nice, and we got to meet a great gang of folk through the tour who we've kept in touch with heaps. 10/10 would recommend its a hoot!

J Dawg‘s Cool Kids - Having heard so much from the Great Ocean Road. We were stunned what we saw after the 12 Apostels. It got even more beautiful the closer we got towards the Grampions. Janet, our tourguide, was so motivated and excited all the time. We really appreciated her positive energy, her stories and recommendations. We‘d definitely recommend this trip to everyone.

What an amazing experience!! - Misty, you are a legend! I had such a good time during this wonderful trip. They say your guide makes the tour, and I think that's true. She showed as soooo many awesome places and was just in general a cool and chill person. The first day was only Great Ocean Road. We were so lucky with the weather during the whole trip. We had some breathtaking views and the whole group got along very well. We had dinner together that night and stayed in a really cozy motel. The second day was a short drive to the Grampians were we all managed to hike up a mountain together and enjoyed the views on top as a group. That night we had bbq together and watched the sunset with the kangaroos. I will never forget this trip and Misty made it so special. Thanks for all the laughs and shenanigans. Do not hesitate and book this tour!! PS: look at all those chiiickens! (Laura)

Great tour - can only recommend - Our tour guide Craig was awesome - he took us safely to all spots of the itinerary and some more and his knowledge about the region and history was unbelievable. The group was lovely (age around mid 20s to late 50s) and everyone got along well. Great Tour for solo travellers! There was always a choice between an easier or more challenging walk. The accommodation (shared/basic) was clean and totally fine for the tour. Unfortunately, we couldn't do the programme for the last day (walk to Pinnacle Lookout) due to bushfires but a safe alternative was organised.

Adelaide to Melbourne -So much better n - A small group of us enjoyed a great trip with Janet from Adelaide to Melbourne. Great views and experiences and we enjoyed the peace and quiet that comes with this reverse schedule. You arrive at the major sights out of sync with all the other groups ensuring access and views. The trip is well organised and structured. Janet goes the extra mile taking care of one and all and livening up the trip with anecdotes and jokes. Iro allergies I had no issues or concerns.

J-Dog road trippers - We did the 3 day adventure from Adelaide to Melbourne. J-Dog (Janet) was our guide. We were so fortunate to have her as our guide. Did an excellent job. Keep everything running smoothly, gave excellent commentary, she is very pleasant and you can tell that she enjoys what she does. Thank you J-Dog for making this an added adventure to our Australian traveling fun time. Ron and Joan
