Leave the City Behind - Great road trip from Melbourne! Leave the city behind and see absolutely spectacular ocean scenery. Not only seaside rock formations and beaches, but kangaroos and koalas in the wild. Our guide, Peter, was informative and entertaining. He maintained a great pace and our interest!

BEST TOUR BY FAR!! - Peter was our guide today and he did a fabulous job from start to finish! From the moment he picked us up at 6:30 this morning (yes, we were quite tired) Peter’s awesome energy helped to get our day started on the right note. He was an excellent and safe driver, played good music in the van, and was so knowledgeable about the wildlife and history around the Great Ocean Road. We have now done 4 tours since arriving in Australia (in Uluru and Port Douglas) and Peter / Hit the Road Tours was our best tour of them all! Plus, the views and wildlife encounters couldn’t have been more spectacular. Thanks so much for a perfect day, Peter!

Exactly what I wanted - Exactly what I wanted: a worry free excursion to the Great Ocean Road, covering a lot of spectacular territory in a well-planned, efficient manner. The reverse course is brilliant, as it helps avoid crowds. And it’s timed just right: breakfast, sightseeing, lunch, more sightseeing (including a few stops along the road for koalas and kangaroos). Jimmy handled it all masterfully, with lots of information and good cheer. If you, like me, don’t want to drive, this is the tour for you.

Winter tour - GOR - It was a great idea to do a reverse tour. We were early to some lookouts and had the place to ourselves. Jimmy is an amazing driver and an exceptional tour guide. He really knows the area and even added some areas to fully enjoy the sunny, albeit windy, weather. We even saw koalas and kangaroos along the way. Would definitely recommend this tour. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

- Jimmy was very knowledgeable and provided a fun, interactive experience on the reverse itinerary tour. We were lucky enough to spot wild koalas, kangaroos, cockatoos and kookaboras. The views at the twelve apostles were also beautiful.

Glad we did it - We enjoyed our approximately 12 hour tour. Jimmy Chen was very informative and a good, safe driver. Jimmy made sure we had just the right amount of breaks for food and toilets. He was patient, friendly and efficient. We saw spectacular costal scenery, a full rainbow over the ocean, dozens of kangaroo, about five koalas, cattle and sheep farms and beautiful native birds. It was a great way to experience this beautiful part of Australia.

- Fantastic experience! Huge thanks to our guide Pete and his warm jacket! I’ve been to many places, but this was honestly one of the most amazing tours I’ve ever been on. The itinerary was well planned, the views were incredible, and everything just went so smoothly. Pete was funny, thoughtful, and super reliable. He kept us safe and on track the whole time, gave great tips and recommendations, and shared lots of fun stories. After the 12 hour tour, the first thing my girlfriend said when we got home was she miss Pete already. Totally worth it!
