A tour to remember. - This was a great trip, well organised and interesting. We saw amazing landscapes and plenty of wildlife at various locations. Janet was in charge; she is friendly and caring, informative, and a fantastic driver - she definitely helped make the trip very memorable. And our group was great, with nice people from a variety of countries, an aspect I really enjoyed. I highly recommend this tour.

Amazing views, amazing tour guide! - I am a student who will be living in Melbourne for half a year. This trip was nothing short of breathtaking and masterfully planned. A perfect way to spend a weekend away, soaking in the beauty of Australia. I had an absolutely incredible experience on my trip along the Great Ocean Road and the Grampians! The scenery was ravishing, from the stunning coastal views to the rugged beauty of the mountains. Every stop along the way was well-planned and coordinated allowing us to truly soak in the natural wonders of the region. A special shoutout to our tour guide, Janet, who made the journey even more memorable! She was not only friendly and engaging but also packed the trip with fascinating facts about the history, wildlife, and landscapes we encountered. Her enthusiasm and knowledge for aboriginal tribes and the true stories that sound like they have been plucked from a Shakespearian scripture made the experience so much more enriching—I learned so much while having an amazing time. An amazing skill I must highlight is at one point during the trip, a few people in our group weren’t quite fit for the long-distance hikes. Janet handled the situation professionally and perfectly—she quickly adapted the plan, finding alternative routes and adjusting the schedule so that everyone could still fully enjoy the experience. Her flexibility and thoughtful approach ensured that no one felt left out, and the whole group remained happy and satisfied. For me, that sort of innovation does not go unnoticed. If you're looking for a full on trip filled with adventure, spectacular views, and an outstanding guide, I highly recommend this tour. It was truly an unforgettable experience!

Tour Review - We went on the Adelaide to Melbourne tour which was led by Janet also known as Jdawg. This tour exceeded our expectations, although Janet had done the tour many times, she was so keen an enthusiastic to pass on her knowledge of areas she absolutely loved and wanted to share, nothing was too much trouble. She was keen the group did as much as time allowed which included a fabulous helicopter ride over the 12 Apostles, which was magical, apart from teaching us many Aussie songs she is also the queen of the BBQ. An absolutely fabulous trip, a big thank you to Janet and Autopia

100% recommendation - The 3-day trip with Janet was great! Janet has just the right mix of energy and experience, knowledge and warmth that is needed for the adventure. We have heard so much about the country and the people and animals, have seen great places where we could feel more like locals than tourists and were really well looked after (from BBQ to pee break to photo shoot). I would highly recommend this tour with Janet 💯

The Greatest!! - Our guide, JDawg, really made this tour memorable and fun! She is really knowledgeable about the animals and regional history so we learned a lot. Our group of solo travelers of all ages really clicked and we loved all the anecdotes, sing-a-longs, and “surprises”. Definitely a highlight of my trip down under. One small negative though…since the group split on day 3 with some travelers returning to Melbourne and others going on to Adalaide, a lot was packed into day 2 while there was only a short stop for lunch on the drive to Melbourne. It would have been nice to have a stop or activity along that stretch.

Phenomenal Australian Escape - Can’t Miss! - J Dog (Janet) - our tour guide - was vivacious and full of life, providing an astonishing amount of cool stories, history and cracking views. We were lucky enough to get an authentic experience of this stunning region. Every one of our group was put head and shoulders first by our tour guide, who was clear with everything expected of us. The group was easily sociable, and a cracking lot to get to know. Plenty of solo travellers in this group who did not struggle whatsoever to make good friends, some of whom will continue their travel together now.
