Luke was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, he demonstrated professionalism, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for what he does. He went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, communicated clearly throughout, and made the entire experience stress-free. His dedication, friendly attitude, and exceptional work ethic truly set him apart. I couldn't recommend Luke more highly — he's a standout and someone you can trust to deliver outstanding results every time!
The Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles tour was amazing! Stunning views, well-paced stops, and plenty of time to explore. Steve, our guide, was funny, informative, and made the whole trip so enjoyable. Pick-up was a little late, but everything else ran smoothly. Highly recommended!
We were lucky to have great weather that day! We got some beautiful photos! Awesome 👍 The morning tea consisted of paper cups, hot water, tea bags, coffee powder, and cocoa powder for self-service preparation. It was served with a few cookies, and we stood by a lake to eat. We had lunch in a small town, finding our own place to eat. After lunch (around 1:30 PM), there was no more food until we returned to the city at 8 PM. Unless you're a fairy, I recommend bringing your own bread, cookies, fruit, or snacks. The tour guide was friendly, funny, and energetic, sharing lots of interesting facts along the way. He also helped us spot koalas 🐨 and kangaroos 🦘 in the trees along the road. We stopped at quite a few places along the way, but the stops weren't very long. If you want to take photos, you have to be quick! If you admire the view first, you might not have time to take pictures, haha XD. The itinerary was packed, and the Twelve Apostles were truly beautiful! However, they're hard to capture on a phone, so you might need a camera. We traveled in a minibus, and the vehicle was full. The seats were small and cramped, so this might not be suitable if you're looking for a comfortable ride or need a lot of space for your belongings.
This day was very awesome, eventhough it was a rainy that day, our tour guide James manage to make our tour a lovely one. He is very knowledgeable to the place. He knows where to spot koalas and kangaroos, where to eat good Fish and chips, and when is the right time to go. We went home without even getting wet because of the rain. This is my dream destination here in Melbourne, Australia “Melbn” (is that right, James? 😆) and this tour makes it possible and unforgettable. Thanks mate, cheers. 🇵🇭
As a solo traveler I found this tour to be convenient as most of these places are more accessible via bus or car. The guides humour made the trip more fun and he certainly know what he’s doing. The itinerary was perfect for a day trip and a chance to see outside of melbourne city. The road is a bit windy so people with motion sickness have to prepare themselves for a long trip. I got the tickets on sale so it was very worth the money and most of the attractions in this trip are free of entry.
Unforgettable Great Ocean Road Experience with the Best service Our trip along the Great Ocean Road in Melbourne was absolutely unforgettable, and a big part of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Jame. From start to finish, he was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive — offering 12 hours of non-stop service, information, and support. Jame didn’t just take us from place to place; he shared fascinating stories, local insights, and hidden gems along the way that made the journey even more special. Whether it was pointing out the best photo spots, explaining the history behind each location, or recommending local eats, he truly went above and beyond to make the experience smooth and memorable. The scenery was breathtaking — from the iconic Twelve Apostles to the lush rainforests and stunning coastal views. Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Melbourne.
Luke Bennett is the best tour guide you can find with charming native sense of humor and the endless love for rock and roll. With his arrangement and passion, the trip is just perfect to explore the natural beauty of Australian coast. This guy shoud be named mascot of Melbourne!!!
The Guide, Luke is funny & informative, he is good in breaking ice & made the boring 12 hrs trip filled with music & jokes. The Helicopter ride over 12 Apostles are so worth it, is lifetime experience though is expensive.
Had the most amazing time with our entertaining tour guide James who was very funny! He also offered fun facts and informative info about the various attractions and wildlife in australia. Love how he brought us to the key attractions with gorgeous photo spots and sufficient time! we also managed to spot many koalas in the wild and kangaroos!
An excellent day trip filled with fun memories! My experience with Blue Mountain Tours was truly amazing. The guide was incredibly friendly and ensured we were well taken care of throughout the journey. We stopped at a few picturesque spots, perfect for enjoying some snacks and observing koalas in their natural habitat. The combination of beautiful scenery, thoughtful planning, and a warm, knowledgeable guide made this a day to remember. Highly recommended!
