Review for: Join-In Group with English Speaking Guide

Out tour guide, David, was very helpful and funny. He always makes sure that we get the best experience and he did! He spotted koalas for us, stopped at additional places, and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the view and tke pictures. Best service! Of all the Australian tour I went, Great Ocean Road trip offered majestic road scenery in which I was amazed with what I saw during the roadtrip. I think everyone is satisfied.

Ray is our tour guide- very friendly,informative,give us extra time to explore and even bring us to see kangaroos! But maybe his driving style might make you faint if you are not used to fast and furious speed. Overall the tour is value for money and the best experience if you want to explore the nature of Victoria Day Trip

Review for: Join-In Group with Chinese/Mandarin Speaking Guide

Participating in the Great Ocean Road reverse tour was pretty good, because it really involves a lot of travel. The driver-guide also said that this is the most tiring and exhausting of many Melbourne tour itineraries. Since we arrived at the Twelve Apostles before noon, we were still energetic and could seriously explore it well. If it were a normal itinerary, arriving at the Twelve Apostles last, I might be too tired to explore vigorously. The driver-guide was fluent in both Chinese and English, and was also very kind in introducing the small town where we had lunch, what specialties to eat, and reminding tourists of safety precautions for traveling in Melbourne at the end of the tour. The Twelve Apostles, as well as various rocky coastal landforms, are incredibly marvelous. We returned to Melbourne city around 6 pm, which wasn't too late. Not every stop on the tour has a toilet, so don't drink too much water.

Highly Recommended! Our Tour Guide Mr Richard is so knowledgeable, kind and with great humor. The Reverse Great Ocean Road tour is an excellent choice for travelers who prioritize a more intimate, unhurried experience and want the best possible conditions for viewing the Twelve Apostles. While it requires an early start and front-loads the spectacular sights, the benefit of avoiding the mid-day rush at Australia's most famous coastal landmark makes this itinerary highly preferable over the standard route. It’s particularly recommended for photographers and those who dislike crowds.

Amazing experience! The scenic spots are really stunning! We went there on a sunny day so the clear skies and pristine waters even made the views more magnificent! Very easy trip for all ages. Ray is also very kind and provides all information clearly. Highly recommended!

Really value for money, tour itinerary was 12 hours, so make sure you prepare some snacks for the day. my tour guide is John, he took pride in his work, very knowledgeable and friendly. He also makes sure there are rest stops in between the 3 hour long drive so everyone will be able to visit the toilet. During our tour, we spotted an active koala and two kangaroos. John is not only knowledgeable, but also a skilled driver in negotiating the bends of the Great Ocean Road. The bus provided was very comfortable, better than other tours that I have been to. Overall, I would recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Melbourne. I hope to be back soon and maybe get John as my tour guide again. thank you!

Great Ocean Road reverse trip was definitely a great decision for us. We were able to visit the spots with lesser crowd. Thankfully, weather cooperated. Special thanks to Daniel for being an amazing tour guide for giving insightful trivia along the way and being helpful at all times.

This tour is a must-book! Definitely worth the price. We had an eventful day, and the reverse itinerary was a smart move to avoid the influx of tourists. Huge shoutout to David Hsu for his incredible dedication—he was both our driver and guide, accommodating all 50 of us on the bus. From morning till our last stop, he kept sharing useful insights about Australia with such energy and warmth. Thank you for your excellent service, David!
