Awe Inspiring, Breath Taking Scenery - The Great Ocean Drive is so spectacular! It takes one breath away. The sea, sky, lush greenery (where one could spot a koala, kangaroo, Laughing kookaburras), and awe inspiring rock formations.

Wonderful experience & even better guide! Matt was knowledgeable and all around fantastic! - We cannot say enough great words about our guide, Matt (Matthew) who was originally from England, but has been in Australia for some time now. He was absolutely fabulous with our 8 yr old son. We was knowledgeable and an all around wonderful guide! He even provided us with morning tea and snacks to break up the drive. We especially enjoyed getting out and doing little walks at the lookouts and it was fun to explore the lower lands when possible. Unfortunately we couldn't go down to Ship Wreck beach (as it's closed off due to rocks falling. The only thing missing would have been to get to see the 12 Apostles from the beach, but were informed that time wasn't built into our trip. I would highly recommend taking one of the other smaller stops away to add that in, if the tour operator could make that happen?

Driver was rude - The driver was very rude to kids and threatened to throw them out of the bus. Never have experienced this in my life. There was no water on the bus and no regular stops to get good or water. The picnic sandwich was so so . Don’t recommend This trip
