The awesomeness of Great ‘Great Ocean Road and Beyond’ - Fabulous scenery in a lovely part of Australia. A great way to travel from Melbourne - Adelaide, accommodation on all three nights was very good. The included breakfast and lunch meals were amazing, great variety of food choices and great quality food. Dinners on the three nights were also top quality and delicious. The driver/tour guide was easygoing though professional and hosted a great trip. I feel I can speak for the group of five individual travellers - to say we all had a great relaxed tour and the scenery and our side excursions were fantastic. Thoroughly recommend this trip.

A Great Trip for a Great Road! - Every was excellent! Pacing and variety of sites was prefect. Jen's was friendly, helpful, well organized, flexible, informative and always went the extra mile. Accommodations were surprising very nice for simple models out in the country. The included breakfast and lunch restaurants were top notch. Dinner restaurants were all top notch. No problem with luggage storage or seating space. Stops were spaced out well. Only recommendation would be if possible for WiFi while on the road in the vehicle.

A magical and leisurely coastal journey in South Australia - Fantastic tour guide Jens who was a former chef, so he always made sure our dining experiences were top notch. Loved all the little towns and stops along the way. He made it so personal and really went all out to make sure everyone had what they needed at every point on the trip. The lodging was quite adequate - not fancy, but did the trick in each of the three locations. I especially appreciated the lodge manager in Port Fairy letting me change my room to a more quiet location. Great locations for all hotels that made it easy to get into the little towns. Twelve Apostles was memorable - and so kind that Jens took us there the first day late in the day and then back again early the next morning so we could see it without the crowds. The van was very comfortable - there were only six of us total - and we all got along famously. I highly recommend this trip as a much more enjoyable way to see the coast instead of going out and back in one day to the 12 Apostles from Melbourne. We got to really see small town South Australia. The wineries were also a wonderful part of the trip - and Jens made sure we were treated like VIPs.

Wonderful experience facillitated by well thought out trip. Everyone needs to do this - Just finished the 4day/3night tour and have to say one of the best tours I have ever taken. Certainly, value for money . The tour was varied and wonderful scenery and great placed to eat. The Pace was relaxed, and our tour guide Jason was exceptional in making everyone relaxed and making sure everyone got to see what they wanted to see. Our age ranged varied from 27yrs to 70 but everyone got on and having a young energetic guide with lots of experience made a trip memorable. Thanks for showing our beautiful country

Fantastic Tour with Lots of Unique Gems! - The Great Ocean Road tour was excellent. There is a very good ratio of time spent on the bus and time getting off the bus to look at iconic Australian sites such as the twelve apostles, the Loch Ard Gorge, bay of islands as well as nature walks where you can spot wildlife. We saw many Koalas, Emus and kangaroos. In addition the included meals were very good. When given the opportunity to select your own meal you were not limited by cost and this included alcoholic beverages if you wanted. The three nights of accommodation were all four star or better. Since there is little need for extended commentary during the bus ride our tour guide, Michael, played music which got the whole bus singing. This helped to pass the time while on the bus. Of all the tours I have been on, this one is the best bang for the buck. The group was great and we had a wonderful time.

Memorable tour - I just did this 4-day tour and I really enjoyed it. Jens, the guide, as well as all participants were very nice and warmhearted. I felt like I travelled with new friends. There were only 5 people in our group. I totally recommend this tour that includes amazing spots and sceneries. We were also lucky to see many animals (koalas, kangaroos, emus, fox, etc.).
