What a day! - Fantastic tour of the Great Ocean Road. Andy shared so many facts, knew all the best spots for photos, and was a great travel companion! He was great at spotting koalas for us (though the koalas hid high up in the trees and didn’t exactly want to pose for our photos). Highly recommend the tour!

Best day trip with Andrew! - Had the most memorable day trip ever. Andrew is extremely passionate, really knowledgeable, and a wonderful guide! He planned the day really well; we avoided all the crowds and saw some really amazing places. Wish we were here longer, we’d prob take his other trips too.
I highly highly recommend Andrew and Southeast touring 👍

Great oceon road private tour - This trip was totally amazing! Beautiful scenery, the most important thing is that I am very pleased to have an Australian tour guide who speaks fluent Chinese. 感恩有他。下次去墨尔本会再邀请他当我们的私人导游。

Stop looking!!! BEST GUIDE IS RIGHT HERE - We had an unforgettable and amazing experience on our Great Ocean Road tour with Andrew. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, humorous, everything you look for in a guide. Not only did we get all the relevant details about the sites we visited, but so much information about Australia, the state of Victoria, and all the little towns along the way. 10 out of 10 would go again, I feel like we not only had a great tour but made a great friend in Andrew as well. Thank you again Andrew!!! and thank you for putting up with our fussy daughter Jade :)

A fantastic guide made a spectacular tour perfect! - If what it takes to make a perfect tour guide includes being passionate, knowledgeable, humorous, local, sensitive, thoughtful and professional, Andrew is definitely more than perfect!
I have travelled around the world and had numerous experiences of private tours, and Andrew is that kind of local guide that I can’t wait to share with and recommend my friends immediately after the tour. He is very experienced in the field of a private guided tour, and had strategically avoided the crowds so that we could had fun and took beautiful photos. With his passion and informative introduction along the way, we were never bored and had learned so much more about the city, the history of the places we visited and the culture of the state. What has impressed me even more is that he take his leisure time to explore new places to visit and new options for accommodation to fit the possible needs of various customers. If this is not more than perfect a tour guide, then who is?

Miles flew by, but memories will last a lifetime! - My husband and I booked the Great Ocean Road tour with Andrew and had a lovely day! What I imagine could have been a day full of long, tedious miles to see the main sites flew by...in a good way! It flew by because of the beauty of the backdrop, yes, but mainly it flew by because of the storytelling and expert knowledge given by Andrew, the comfort of his new vehicle, and the many unexpected stops along the way! We saw wildlife (including kangaroo and koala), we had cute coffee & lunch stops and we had Andrew there to willingly document it for us with our camera. (Which is always key for couples :) ) All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a better day! Highly recommend!

Trustable and professional local guide! - Andrew always helped me to take photos of my parents when I wasn’t around.
We were the only three people sitting on the mats Andrew prepared for his guests while waiting for the penguins to show up.
Andrew showed us the wild animals such as koalas, cockatoos, wallabies, kangaroos and so on..He introduced history, local live, animals and plants during the whole journey. We enjoyed our private tour very much!
Andrew會很熱情幫我們拍照；在菲利浦島等企鵝回家時，是鐵椅子又濕又冷，全場只有我們3個人是坐在Andrew貼心準備的墊子上，很溫暖舒適！Andrew一路上很專業地介紹歷史、當地生活、動物和植物，若是想休息他也會靜靜地開車。我和我的父母很喜歡我們參加2次一日遊的中文私人團。

The guide was double... - The guide was double booked and cancelled. I am waiting on a refund, but the system doesn’t seem to know the trip was cancelled and is asking for reviews and feedback.
