Fantastic two day Great Ocean Road trip - A fantastic two day tour that packs a lot in. We stopped off at all the key spots along the Great Ocean Road. Walter was a fantastic tour guide who made everything run seamlessly

Walter is a big... - Walter's a big gangster and caraboo. He knows all the spots, takes you early to avoid traffic from the rest of the group, the stops are time-measured as long as necessary. The stay was also very satisfying, the accommodation is in very good condition. The trip is definitely worth it, prefer it!

Great trip - Thank you Walter for one of the most memorable trips we have been on. And we are Australian. For anyone considering this tour I would say - JUST DO IT. The slow pace of 2 days on the Great Ocean Road was amazing. We got to see so much more than anticipated from waterfalls to forests, views all along the coastline and of course the 12 Apostles - AND no crowds.

Fabulous trip, great value for money. - An amazing experience, all plus a lot more than we expected. Walter kept us in line throughout and because we were so good we gained time and he was able to add in a few extra lookouts and 1000 more step! Couldn’t recommend the trip more highly.

Perfect way to see the Great Ocean Road - We had the best two days! We did the Great Ocean Road tour in a small group minibus and absolutely loved it. Our tour guide was very friendly and experienced and shared lots of interesting and informative stories throughout the day. The nature along the Great Ocean Road fantastic - from beautiful beaches to unique rainforest landscapes. We visited the best spots and even got to see koalas in the wild. It was an unforgettable experience and we would highly recommend it to everybody wanting to explore the Great Ocean Road!

Best option if you don't drive - Overall the tour had been enjoyable. Saw lots of wildlife. Accomodation is clean and comfy but does not provide any toiletries, please take note. Room had no air con as well, but weather was chilly so I had a great sleep. I thought this tour could be improved with a few adjustments: - Lessen the stops and increase the duration for each venue (too many sea viewpoints, they look similar) - include a stargazing / milky way tour at night Although we had to wake up really early on day 2, we managed to catch the sunrise ❤️

WORST tour - The tour guide Walter was from Johannesburg, South Africa he told us. HOPE no one gets him. There were 2 people from China and we were 4 people from Chicago on his tour. The van was a cargo van converted into passenger van with tiny seats, tapes attached to fix the seat belt and the back of the van had a wall with hooks every where and stuff was hanging from there. So you can imagine the van ride, very ROUGH. Would love to share the pics if you want to see it. He picked us up on time and dropped us off on time. No issues with it whatsoever but the major issues were: The driver/tour guide was very rude. He did not say any extra word besides what’s covered in the package. Wish he talked about interesting things on the way. He did not open/ close the door for us, he expected us to open/ close ourselves. Since the door was hard, we had to try few times to open/close every time he stopped. He expected us to get off the van within seconds (not minutes), as soon as he stopped to look for the interesting points. If you are a few seconds late he tried to lock the door to give us hints that we are late. The package includes water bottles, but we were NOT given a single bottle. We had to buy it from the store. The package includes coffee/ or tea, he sure brought the tea but the cups were plastic cups which were rinsed NOT washed with soap. It was not appealing to take the tea the way it was spread on the picnic table. The package says “National park fees” included, but we didn’t see a single park we entered had any fees. On the whole, it was a disappointing experience with the tour guide. We couldn’t wait for the tour to end, so we could breathe a little easier. He could have been a little friendlier. TRULY wish NO ONE has to experience that. Maybe he was expecting white peoples? Not sure.
