Our driver and guide was simply fantastic. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the history, sights, and local secrets along the way, but he was also kind, patient, and always eager to answer our questions. His passion for the region really enhanced our experience, making each stop feel special.
The breathtaking scenery, combined with such professional and friendly service, made this tour unforgettable. I highly recommend Melbourne Touring Company to anyone looking to explore the Great Ocean Road—whether you’re booking months in advance or last minute, they will ensure you have a remarkable experience!



















They played a significant role in my birthday weekend and topped it off, everyone invited enjoyed it and we can’t stop talking about the amazing experience we had.
I recommend booking with John and Mark I assure you won’t be disappointed.






The 12-hour journey was meticulously planned, ensuring we soaked in every major highlight and some hidden gems along the scenic route. John's storytelling and fun facts kept us engaged, providing a deeper appreciation for the landmarks and local culture.
The Melbourne Touring Company did an outstanding job orchestrating this trip, striking the perfect balance between sightseeing, relaxation, and education. I'm eager to embark on another tour with them and uncover more treasures in and around Melbourne. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an enriching and enjoyable day out!









The most stunning scenery throughout the trip.
Great guide (Red) , we had a lot of fun (dad jokes and sing alongs) keeping us entertained throughout the 14 hour long trip.
Couldn’t fault it. An unforgettable day!
Small coach, only 24 people. Plenty of stops for food and comfort breaks.


John helped us with the itinerary, was calm and patient and provided us with great insights throughout the trip, including suggestion for an amazing lunch in a local place.


The journey were pleasant and accommodative by Neil, food at the Boat O Craigo vineyard was superb at the Yarra and we even had the Wave Restaurant opened on their day off at Port Campbell during our Great Ocean Road trip arranged by John.
Overall, if we were to be doing this again, i will book MTC.




John and Lawrence were patient, informative, and very accommodating, and I was especially fond of the stories they told as well. I'll be keen on a trip with this company again in the future. :)




John picked us up right on time at our office and provided a comfy bus to take us to/from Yarra Valley. On the way he shared some interesting stories about the region that made the 1 hour ride to the winery fly. John's recommendation to visit Boat O Carigo is 100% spot on - beautiful views, yummy food and amazing wine! We then visited Yarra Valley Chocolate Factory for Chocolate tasting which was a brilliant way to end the day.
I recommend the Melbourne Touring Company for a wonderful experience at the Yarra Valley and will be booking again in the future for more fun team-bonding events!








John was so accomodating when planning out the itinerary and which wineries to go to as well as the rescheduling of dates due to the lockdowns and the numerous changes of numbers. He was so friendly and knowledgable and ended up being our tour guide for the day and he truly went beyond for our group helping us take photos and etc.
We went to Point Leo Estate (must visit), Old Apple Shed (loved the cider tasting was one of my favourite stops and had a cheese platter for us to share), Red Hill Estate and The Cups Estate for lunch (was delicious). Overall great value for money and was a very memorable tour I definitely recommend the Melbourne Touring Company and John :)




Cheers
