A memorable Great ocean drive - The Great Ocean Drive was an amazing experience for me and my family. A special mention to our tour guide, Philip, who made the journey truly memorable with his cheeky jokes and great sense of humour. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend Philip to anyone considering this experience

It is a long drive. ... - It is a long drive. Toilet stops are important. While we (both aged 77) thoroughly enjoyed the drive, towns we went thru, countryside farms animals etc and lovely gardens. I don’t think that was the case for all passengers. Driver was amazing, he was thoughtful and informative.

I would do it Again! - I received prompt communication from William who gave clear directions on where to meet and was there promptly. William is extremely knowlegable of the great ocean road as well ad Australia in general having lived there for over 12 years. He is a great and engaging driver.

Great Ocean Road Tour - William served as our guide and driver for the Great Ocean Road tour and did an excellent job switching seamlessly between Chinese and English throughout the trip. His enthusiasm and clear explanations made the journey both comfortable and informative. We got to see wild koala as well!

Disappointing trip with regard to coach and info from guide - For a 12 hour drive the coach is really not comfortable enough - seats do not recline and are not comfy. At the back you can’t hear the guide speaking - we asked him to speak up but still couldn’t hear. Guide not very informative with information - overall I would recommend paying more for a better ride.

Do not book!!! - Do not book with this company. The customer service was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. We had a tour booked for Friday 9th January, however we were unable to see the main highlights of the trip because the national parks were closed. I understand that unexpected closures can happen, and if notice had only been given on the day, I would have been disappointed but understanding. However, notice of the park closures was published on the state government website on Thursday, the day before our tour. Additionally, when we arrived at the park, the police officer turning us away informed our driver that all tour companies had been emailed notice of the closures in advance. Despite this, the company failed to notify us prior to the tour. Had we been informed, we would have gladly rescheduled or cancelled, as the full itinerary could not be completed. Instead, we were driven over 300km knowing the main attractions were inaccessible. When I raised this issue and requested a refund, the company claimed they had no knowledge of the closure and said there was “no evidence,” despite screenshots being available. Even if they somehow missed the email, it is extremely irresponsible for a tour company not to check park conditions before operating. This situation shows poor communication, lack of accountability, and extremely disappointing customer service. I would not recommend booking with this company.

Irresponsible company - This company simply canceled my tour the day before's afternoon, leaving me no chance to book another tour or contacting them. They didn't answer my calls. This was my last day trip and they ruined my vacation. They don't take responsibility. They sell and don't deliver. I don't recommend giving them the chance to mess up your trip.

Disappointing experience – not as advertised - We were told that the tour would be in a Mercedes minibus, but instead it was a large bus without any services. The driver was also the guide, and the explanations were given quickly outside the bus with no proper audio system. The speaker quality was so poor that we could not hear anything inside the bus. Overall, the experience did not match the description, and I was very disappointed. I do not recommend this tour.
