An amazing tour, made even better by Anthony’s knowledge, passion and friendly approach - I had an incredible experience on this one day Great Ocean Road tour and couldn’t recommend it more. Considering I booked it last minute (just the night before) everything was handled so smoothly. The booking process was seamless, and the team were very helpful in answering all of my questions. Our tour guide, Anthony, truly made the day. He was friendly, approachable, and extremely knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the history of each stop and the wildlife we encountered, as well as other animals across Australia. His passion really shone through—easily the best tour guide I’ve had. I also really appreciated how considerate he was about travel sickness, checking in regularly and making the journey as comfortable as possible. The day itself was fantastic, with beautiful weather and breathtaking views of the Twelve Apostles. Seeing kangaroos and koalas in the wild was a real highlight too. I met some lovely people on the tour, which made the experience even more enjoyable, and the lunch provided was great too. All in all, a memorable day from start to finish and a perfect way to experience one of Australia’s most iconic routes. Thank you.
