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.
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.
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.
We’ve had an amazing day out! Thank you!
Day spend with kandroo, kaula and u can miss ocean view
Smooth ride from start to end. Vehicle is very comfortable. Small pop quizzes kept us engaged. Overall wonderful experience.
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 :)
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!

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 🙃
We were allways the first on echo locación.
A very nice person. Be on time and you will have a great tour. Excelente servicio, muchas gracias.
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.
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 😂😂)
Nice day, but lots of driving time We had a good day, managing to see the highlights despite rain in the afternoon. 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 )
