					On the 27th of September we did the Great Ocean Road Tour in Reverse. The tour guide was nice. The reason I am giving 3 and not 5 star's as our Itenary said

1 - we were meant to walk on a volcanic rock beach and we didn't

2 - we were meant to go to the Great Otway National Park for 30 minutes and we didn't do it

3 - we were also meant to go to The Chocolatier on the Great Ocean Road and we didn't go to that either.

We did enjoy our day but if I knew that our Itenary was NOT going to be followed I would have booked this tour with a different tour company.

We did have a nice day but there were things on our Itinerary that the tour guide did NOT take us to

1 - we were meant to walk on a volcanic beach but we're were NOT taken there 

2 - we were meant to go the the great Otway National Park for 30 minutes but once again our tour guide did NOT take us there 

3 - we were meant to to go to the Chocolatier on the GREAT OCEAN ROAD unfortunately we didn't go there either.

There were 11 of us that and we all missed out on certain stops. We all paid money to see everything on the Itenary. If I knew that the tour guide was not going to follow the Itenary I would have booked this tour with a different tour operator. I was so looking forward in going to the chocolate place. It's not fair that we all missed out.

Melvin was wonderful. So friendly and informative. Relaxing drive too. About of information. And also quiet time with music. 



As far as the value- cannot beat it. 12 stops and a 12 hour tour. The price is insanely good. Coffee stop in the morning was great. The row of restaurants were also good, it was hard to choose from. 



He took us to see koalas and kangaroos. That’s was surreal



I would recommend him to everyone! You’d be lucky to have him as your driver. Truly, the highlight of my trip. 



Mahalo Melvin for an amazing, memorable day.

Pick up was seamless. Long trip 12h in total but well worth the sights. Got to see tons of nature, some kangaroos and koalas in the wild. The tour group side of 9 of us was perfect. We had sufficient time to take pics with each site. Highly recommend.

Fantastic day out. Peter was a brilliant guide! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and he took us to some gorgeous spots beyond the usual lookouts. The reverse itinerary meant we avoided the crowds almost entirely, which made a huge difference. Koalas and kangaroos in the wild, and ice cream at the chocolate factory to finish. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.

Our driver cum guide, Melvin, had been exceptionally great in explaining the details of the places where we stopped. He took care of everyone within the family from the kids to the elderly. With Melv,  we saw how he demonstrated empathy, picking up a dropped hat to avoid car running over it and put somewhere visible lest the owner comes back searching. But, alas, probably 2-day trip had been too short to explore such amazing places. Hopefully, one day we will come back for more.

Peter made sure to show us all places and hidden gems on the great ocean road and beyond so we saw lots of beautiful small towns and restaurants.  Not to forget about the kangaroos on the golf court. I can only recommend this tour!!

What a fabulous experience! Even during the middle of winter we had great views, perfect for photography opportunities and selfies with family and friends. The trip has been a great duration for us, we have been able travel all around the surroundings and had opportunities to view wildlife and beautiful towns located on the Great Ocean Road. The trip started at a perfect time meaning the crowds were very limited and we were able see everything easily. Our guide John was great, very friendly and knew a lot of interesting facts! 

We’ve had an amazing day out! Thank you!

But surely this one (for good reason). Started at 6.30 am, warmly welcomed by the friendly bus captain John. He engaged and guided us well. Places we visited in this trip were very well planned. The weather helped as well. Time given to us in every spot was just right. Bus captain-guide was able to tell about the places and its history. This reverse itinerary is good that we escape crowd and traffic. 

Smooth ride from start to end. Vehicle is very comfortable. Small pop quizzes kept us engaged. Overall wonderful experience.

From the start very well organised and planned. Tour operator texted us stating bus is ready to pick us. This is the first tour I ever received any text from any tour operators till date.

Peter was our guide. He is great in engaging us , witty and very experienced. He explained to us clearly all the details, about the wild life , about the places we can visit. He planned it in such a way that we see the stunning  places with out any crouds. Brought us to places we can spot Koalas and Kangaroos in their wilderness. Thoroughly enjoyed my trip. This operator will be on my top list next time when I visit again :)

I probably would not notice there is a GOR tour that goes the reversed way if no one tells me. It turned out to be a really enjoyable trip where we avoided all the crowds and took our time to appreciate the views and walks at the spots while taking pictures freely, instead of bumping shoulders with other visitors. I reckon the size of the tour group also helps to maintain the quality of the tour.



The guide John has a sense of humour; however, his tone was soft, and I was in the back, so I could not catch what he had said sometimes. He is passionate about the tour and knowledgeable all the way through. It is unbelievable how quick he can spot the wild koalas on a fast bus. 😄



Appreciating twelve apostles with space and time? ✅

Walking in the rainforest peacefully? ✅

Spotting wild koalas and kangaroos? ✅



Definitely recommend the tour! 👍



Book it if you are hesitating!

I felt so sad and disappointed :( I asked him why we didn’t go and he told me that because the rainforest road is muddy, but I really don’t mind to be honest :( we arrived city at 5:30 and i was crying inside my heart.

Started early to avoid traffic.  The drive eas long but sooo worth it!

Our driver and guide John Emanuel was so knowledgeable and accommodating to us.  He took us to the best spots.  And he made all hus effort for us to see everything including beautiful koalas 🐨 and kangaroos 🦘.  We finished the day with a great ice cream.  It was a great day.  Highly recommend.

Although the weather was not great.. we didn’t even notice it 🙃

Thank you very much, John, for an amazing day. He's a very funny and kind guide who shared information about the towns and points we visited. We didn't have to pay any extra fees. He even stopped so we could appreciate the koalas and kangaroos (loved it). The reverse tour was the best call because John took us to the best spots to enjoy the views before other groups got there. I recommend doing a small group like this one, plus the bus is really comfy. We loved every single part of the day!

This tour was honestly incredible; we got to see the Twelve Apostles, walk down the Gibson Steps, have lunch in Apollo Bay, and even stop in Colac for a really nice break. Peter also made a special effort to make sure we saw koalas and kangaroos along the way, which added such a fun and personal touch to the day. Ending the tour with a visit to the chocolate factory was the sweetest way to wrap everything up. Everything felt easy and well-timed, the small group made it super comfortable, and the scenery was unbelievable the whole way. And honestly, a huge thank you to Peter. He was amazing the entire day and genuinely made the experience even better.



If you’re considering a Great Ocean Road tour from Melbourne and want something comfortable, well-organised, personal, and memorable; I highly recommend this one. Would happily do it again.

We covered a lot of ground but it didn’t feel rushed. Going in reverse order was the right choice so you see the 12 apostles first thing. A few areas were closed when we went so we couldn’t walk as much around Loch Ard Gorge or go to Gibsons steps but it was still very beautiful and worthwhile. We had amazing sightings of a few adorable koalas and a group of kangaroos which was the highlight for me! Peter was a great guide, he gave us lots of information and was good at striking a balance with letting us enjoy each place while keeping us on time. So glad I chose this small group tour after reading countless average reviews for other tours. Would highly recommend!

I am serious recommend this tour compare with others, 



Lets start my honest review!!

Hope it helps 🫶🫶



---

1. Car/Van ❤️

The car is so important on an all-day tour! If your butt, back, or knees hurt, it totally affects the next day’s plans. But this van was super comfortable!!!



2. Guide ❤️

Peter was honestly so, so friendly! He tried so hard to show us koalas and kangaroos, and he shared so much history and information. We loved it!!

Every single spot he let us see was just 💯!!!!❤️🫶🫰



3. Convenience❤️

They picked us up and dropped us off right in front of our accommodation, which was incredibly convenient. I even forgot to bring water, but they provided it—so nice!



4. No pressure at all❤️

Some tour guides tell you where to eat (usually not great places), or rush you to hurry up and get back on the bus. But this tour never pushed us. It was really free and relaxed, so we were able to find good restaurants and grab great coffee! (We all know how important food is when traveling, right?)



Seriously, even if you pay a little extra, choose this one!!! You won’t regret it!! (And I’m even from Brisbane 😂😂)

He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and well-paced. Peter was also very attentive to our preferences and adjusted the itinerary to suit what we wanted to see most, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a smooth, enjoyable, and memorable trip thanks to his professionalism and easygoing nature. Highly recommend touring with him if you get the chance!

Rafi was an amazing Tour guide he basically took us thru the history of every location we went.  We got to see the 12 apostles, walk through a beautiful rainforest and got to see kangaroos in the wild.  We even got to stop at a beautiful chocolate factory.  Had amazing seafood and a restaurant recommended by Rafi excellent choice for lunch.  I have to say Rafi was really the best tour guide in Melbourne.

The apostles were gorgeous, with sun, clouds and waves making nice pictures. We saw the koalas and kangaroos and one wallaby, and the laughing kookaburra. Melvin is a knowledgeable guide though he is also the driver, so you are often making your own way after his introductory info - which was fine. It's a packed itinerary, lots of time in the van driving, but we knew that going in. If you are looking for a slower pace, a two day tour would be advised. (Ps- The chocolate factory hot chocolate is only ok! The ice cream and brownies are better )

Hi, and thank you for the review. Typically, we always walk with the passengers, but you will recall that we had to leave two people at the 12 Apostles who were late coming back to the bus. I had to drive back and pick them up, while you walked at Loch Ard Gorge. 

It was unfortunate that you missed my walking talks due to the two passengers, but my preference was for everyone to have more time at the Loch Ard gorge rather than waiting in the bus for a long time for the late passengers. But I do agree, there is so much to see, and we try our best to work on schedule.

Multiple great sites, animals and info along the way.  Favorite part was of course the apostles and the koalas.

I especially loved the  Koalas. Our guide, Peter, did an excellent job narrating and driving. My only complaint is my feet were on top of the wheel well and it was uncomfortable.

Saw kangaroos and koalas in nature! Beautiful shore/ocean and rainforest scenery. Small group tour was very pleasant with all participants interacting with each other.

He’s open to discussion as well so the trip could be relax, flexible, but still on track with the schedule. Thankyou for made my birthday memorable.
