Loved being with him. We successfully completed all the travel points.
Wes was so profesional, full with tips and storys, knew exactly where to spot kangoroos akd koalas.
Kevin took us on the Penguin tour and was an absolute champion. He handled everything with patience, professionalism, and a great sense of humour, making the experience enjoyable and stress-free.
Wes took us along the Great Ocean Road and was just as fantastic. Knowledgeable, calm, and incredibly accommodating, he made sure we were comfortable and never rushed, while still giving us an unforgettable experience and sharing so much insight along the way.
Both Kevin and Wes went above and beyond to make our trip smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. Highly recommend Melbourne Touring Company for families—especially those travelling with young children.
We were lucky to have great weather, and besides the breathtaking views, we even got to see koalas and kangaroos. The tour included all the classic stops as well as some less crowded spots, which made it even more special. This was a family trip for seven of us, and we wanted something more private and personalised — it was perfect!
We were picked up and dropped off at our accommodation, and we had complete freedom to bring our own food and snacks for the road. There was also the option to stop for a meal somewhere if we wanted, although I’d recommend making the most of the time to explore the different landscapes.
A big thank you to Wes and the whole team for such an unforgettable Great Ocean Road adventure! Definitely recommended for larger groups of friends or family, and excellent value for money compared to bigger, more crowded tours.

John was punctual, responsive and accommodating to our last minute changes. The great thing about private tours is that you get picked up from your address and don’t have to worry about driving on long, winding and narrow roads. John is a great guy and he taught my kids how to fish.
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.
