Very pleasant day - Lovely guide, nice variety of experiences, time to regroup between sites, ample breaks, relaxed pace, and easy to moderate walks. Saw kangaroos and koalas in nature! Beautiful shore/ocean and rainforest scenery. Small group tour was very pleasant with all participants interacting with each other.

Scenery and Wildlife - The scenery and wildlife were amazing. I especially loved the Koalas. Our guide, Peter, did an excellent job narrating and driving. My only complaint is my feet were on top of the wheel well and it was uncomfortable.

Great tour, great driver - Great tour to be part of. Peter our tour guide was very good - shared heaps of local and general Aussie info and facts. Very accommodating of guests needs and always thinking one step ahead to make sure everyone was looked after. Bus was quite comfy for a full day tour. Felt safe for the entire journey.

Memorable birthday trip 🥳 - Our driver/guide is Peter. He has nice personality. He’s trying to make everyone get involved on the tour. He’s caring too. He knows when some of us sick and trying to give solutions to make ourself feel better. He’s open to discussion as well so the trip could be relax, flexible, but still on track with the schedule. Thankyou for made my birthday memorable.

Double check your pick up and drop off location! - I already gave a very positive 5 star review of this tour and our guide, but I also wanted to share that there can be some confusion between Viator and the tour operator as to pick up and drop off location. My Viator bookng and confirmation say pickup and drop off are at same location. My confirmation from the tour operator the night before the tour had an incorrect pick up location and that we would be dropped off at the Southern Cross train station - a 40 minute walk back to our hotel. I sent a screenshot to the tour company of my Viator confirmation and they did remedy the situation and did drop us off at our hotel. Very important to reconfirm drop pick up and drop off location prior to the start of your tour!

Great Ocean Road Reverse Tour Recommended - Come with a friend and choose the reverse group so it looks better when looking at the Twelve Apostles Rock. Peter, the driver and guide, was particularly kind, explaining to us on the road, driving steady, and looking for a stop on the road past the kangaroos and koalas for us to see. I've been to the hotel for a long time, and I'm glad you're here.

Nice trip - Overall good. Peter is the guide, he’s a very nice person It is great if the guide could briefly introduce what he will share while driving The mic makes his voice really low Views are great but I got sick because of too much driving

The driver needs to... - The driver needs to behave appropriately and needs some training on how to speak to tourists who can barely converse in English. Asking 21 year old women to repeatedly download Whatsapp so you can stay in touch with them, pulling their cheek is no appropriate workplace behaviour. Also, let people pick their own lunch spots and not herd them to some restaurant that is clearly giving you a cut.
