do not join this tour if you can’t wake up early in the morning or hate dads joke. Warren is a very chill guy who bring lots of laughter with his jokes and trying to interact with his guest as much as possible. morning tea was provided - a box of juice and a banana bread during my tour but feel free to bring some granola bar or snacks as the driver may not stop for dinner since is pretty early for dinner. the wind was really strong so, have scarf or parka jacket it rained at the last stop of my tour so :( the trip was cut short. also it’s ok to be a solo traveller, it’s safe, Theo & Warren will be around and is more than happy to help you to snap some photos. if you want to have a great view while traveling on the bus, do take the left side of the seat. (manage to catch a lil rainbow with the rain) and catching wild koala / kangaroo is by chance / luck so don’t put your hopes too high but enjoy the ride with good vibes!

Very mature route, easy. The pears at the first stop were the most special I have ever tasted. The wineries that followed each had their own characteristics. We drank about 8 different wines. The scenery at the last chocolate shop was so beautiful, with endless grasslands, rolling hills, and lush greenery!

Rick is very knowledgeable of the histoy of Melbourne. loved the positive attitude he had throughout the trip. we visited 2 wineries, a farm, and a chocolate factory. p.s. you can try more wines at the rothford winery if you ask nicely and intend to actually buy a bottle.

The tour guide John is very friendly and very knowledgeable about animals. He told me where I could see penguins recently. He also took the initiative to take photos for each group member on the steam train. He is a very considerate tour guide. I really admire him for taking care of both the tour guide and the driver. , who made our trip very enjoyable.

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!!! If you visit Melbourne this place must be on your to visit list. The tour was very very efficient and our van driver and tourist guide Sam is very friendly and knowledgeable. The group was also small (1 van of 12 people including the driver/tour guide) so it’s very good and you don’t have to wait for a big group. Will come back again the next time I visit Melb just to see the 12 Apostles

Peter, as known as “Safari”, is a very dedicated and friendly tour guide, who provided excellent information and insight during the tour. His passion, energy and knowledge about the Great Ocean Road is worth mentioning. He never spoke too much and gave us break to have naps when travelling on the coach. And his playlist is very nice and relaxing. Good picks! Peter. Re itinerary, it’s a bit rush to have a lunch in 40mins in Apollo Bay. Actually, we took about 5 mins to decide what to eat. It is advised to give the participants to have a longer lunchtime. Besides, we’re a bit unlucky that it’s too windy and rainy when we arrived 12 Apostles, hence we could not take many good shots. Again, many thanks for your drive and service, Peter.
