Amazing drive from Melbourne to Adelaide - The 3 day tour from Melbourne to Adelaide was amazing! We were very lucky to see a lot of wildlife and all the spots and viewpoints were very beautiful. The accommodations in the shared room largely exceeded my expectations. Misty - our guide - had always a big smile and has a great knowledge of the country, culture and wildlife. Thanks for sharing that all to us! :)

Great tour and better guide! - This tour was amazing! The viewpoints we were taken to, along the Great Ocean Road and in the Grampians, were breathtaking. The information provided by our guide, Misty, was very interesting, especially her deep knowledge of the Aboriginal culture added an extra level of understanding. This tour gave me an insight I would not have got otherwise. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful people and landscape - Best tour ever, I had the most amazing time! Misty thank you so much for sharing your deep knowledge about your country and people. We just had it all: kangoroos, koalas, emus, echidna, snake, great ocean (road) views, storytelling, shared laughter and awes. The different landscapes and wildlife we encountered were stunning itself, but our most loveliest guide Misty added soul to the experience. It was simply magical.

Fantastic Tour with a Fantastic Guide - I had a fantastic time on this tour, and I’m really glad to have chosen the three-day option over a one-day tour. We saw so many beautiful spots in the region, saw wild koalas, kangaroos, emus, wallabies and more, bonded as a group, and were able to fully immerse ourselves in Australian countryside. I loved it! On top of the special memories made and things seen, the absolute highlight of this trip was our tour guide, J-Dog. Janet is one of the warmest, kindest, most thoughtful people I’ve ever met, and was committed to ensuring that we all had a wonderful experience. Thank you J-Dog and thank you Autopia - I would highly recommend this tour!

Breathtaking views and beautiful landscapes in a great group dynamic - One of my favourite Trips ever!!! We had the most amazing guide in Misty - she was fun, incredibly knowledgable about our destinations, wildlife and Native Australian people and history. Above all though she created beautiful group dynamics and made us become one big family sharing an awesome time. The Great Ocean Road itself is breathtaking, there is a lot of diversity in the things we got to see and do - I really loved the Grampians as well. The meals that were provided were very good (2× breakfast, 1xdinner) and Accomodation was better than what I expected. All in all I would do ut again in a heartbeat.
