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.

The perfect way to visit... - The perfect way to visit the Great Ocean Road. Our driver/guide Walter shared his very extensive knowledge of the route, the flora & fauna and local history while taking us to a great number viewpoints and other places of interest along the way. Well chosen lunch stops with opportunity to swim.

The Best Way to Experience Great Ocean Road in Two Days - Some trips leave a mark. Not because you’ve checked off the most sights, but because you lose yourself for a while – in the landscape, the atmosphere, the conversations. That’s what our two-day tour along the Great Ocean Road with Walter was like. An experience that both calmed and stirred something within us. From the moment Walter picked us up at our hotel in the early morning light, we sensed this wouldn’t be an ordinary tour. His warm and gentle presence, mixed with subtle humour and an endless stream of stories, set the tone. We were a family of four, joined by two other travellers, and a quiet sense of connection formed between us all. What we saw – the coastline, the animals, the forest, the sea – was of course stunning. But what stays with us is something else. It was the rhythm of the days, the conversations between the stops, the sound of wind through the trees, a helicopter ride that left us speechless, and that special kind of stillness that arises when you stop checking the time. We laughed often. We forgot the clock. We forgot the everyday noise. And we were fully present. That might be the highest praise a journey can receive. Our warm recommendation: If you want to experience the Great Ocean Road in a way that’s both rich and grounded – where everything is taken care of but nothing feels rushed – this is the tour for you. Walter doesn’t just guide you along the road; he guides you into the experience. And that makes all the difference.

Our tour guide, Walter,... - Our tour guide, Walter, was awesome! He was super knowledgeable and made the whole experience really fun. We learned so much and never felt bored. I would definitely recommend taking a tour with him. Thanks, Walter, for a great time!

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.
