Magical trip, highly recommended - The trip was magical, and our driver/guide James ("Wheels") was the cream on top, very informative as well as entertaining with his trivial, quizzes and a special mention of his singing. Going in the reverse direction, starting with the 12 apostles meant less crowds and much better pictures. Loved the rainforest walk too, spotted both koalas and kangaroos. A great paced trip, plenty of time at the many stops and as a small group tour it was very special. Thanks Autopia and Wheels

An amazing road trip elevated with a fantastic guide - The guide Ethan was fun, energetic with a lot of quips to keep us entertained throughout the tour The stops at the 12 Apostles and the Loch Ard Gorge was beautiful and not as crowded with the reverse tour. Ethan was very knowledgeable on the various landmarks along the Great Ocean Road which was a nice peek into the heritage &history of Australia PS. We were also lucky enough to spot some Koalas and Kangaroos out in the wild !! Overall a fun and amazing road trip 10/10

Great Ocean Road - Amazing landscapes, the road is a painting all the time. Our driver Athan is excellent, drives very well, knows the history of the region, put a spectacular playlist aligned to the style of the trip. The only suggestion I would make would be to exchange rainforest for Tourquay, Bells Beach where Great Ocean Road begins and where Rip Curl was born and where the world stage of surfing takes place.

Very good - It was excellent, the guide/driver Athan was great, and put a soundtrack that made all the difference. My suggestion is to replace the rainforest tour by Torquay, where Rip Curl was founded, where Great Ocean Road begins and where the famous beach of Bells Beach is located

A great day trip - This was a nice day trip. You get to see plenty even though it may be a little fast paced. I would caution those, before booking, who get car/motion sickness. The route has a lot of winding roads. I had no problems but I could see others maybe feeling sick. Our tour guide was awesome, had tons of knowledge and was humorous. Great views all the way through and awesome stops along the way. Would definitely recommend this tour to others. Especially the reverse route, I think it flows better, working your way back to the city.
