Reviews
it’s a wonderful trip. Tim is a very sincere, responsible guide. He well arranged the time schedule , no rush for each viewpoint. We were so lucky to see the wildlife koala and kangaroos. Thanks for Tim”s arrangement. The Sunset of Great Ocean Road is so stunning. We had a very memorable and enjoyable time. Thanks Klook for the user friendly experience.
It was the best part of my Melbourne trip. Pickup was at 10 AM in front of the hotel, so I had brunch at a nearby cafe before departing. The guide was very friendly, and the tour proceeded by bus, stopping for about 30 minutes at photo spots in between, then moving on to the next location. For lunch, we got off in a town to eat on our own and then returned to the bus. When we arrived at the Twelve Apostles, there were many viewpoints, so there wasn't as much time as I thought to take all the pictures. After that, we had dinner, watched the sunset, and then the tour ended when we arrived in Melbourne City around 11:30 PM~12:00 AM. I highly recommend doing this if you come to Melbourne.
I booked this tour from Japan. I was a little nervous, but our driver, John K., greeted us with a bright smile 🚗. It was a wonderful drive, enjoying the beautiful ocean, the ever-changing scenery, and his detailed explanations! John K. has a wonderful personality and kept everyone entertained. While we were eating fish and chips at one of our stops, many parrots came by, which was adorable! Thank you so much for the amazing scenery and warm service 🥰. If I come to Melbourne again, I definitely want to join this tour. I thought, 'I want to bring my loved ones here!' Thank you, everyone. Thank you, John K. ❤️ He is an excellent driver. He drove skillfully late into the night!!
The tour was excellent and the assigned tour guide, Janey, was really amazing. My family and I enjoyed the road trip and how Janey provide facts/ history of Australia and how Great Ocean Road and Apostles came about during the road trip. Love how the itinerary is not very rushing.
Very pleased with the overall tour with Alisha! Well planned. Will be good if can stay longer at each destination.. she took great photos for us at the various scenic spots! Highly recommended tour guide and itinery!
The trip was fantastic. I had a great time with my husband for honeymoon trip. Besides, Michael(our tour guide)is a very energetic person. We started off our trip since 10 am and got back around 1 am due to bad traffic at Great Ocean Road, but Michael was still able to keep that high level of energy throughout the trip. He made the trip wonderful with his professional and provided good information and history of the places. By the way, the sunset at 12 Apostles was really amazing. it is definitely worth traveling for whole day to get to see it.
overall the trip was worth the drive all the way to the great ocean road. saw beautiful beaches and rock formation based on itinerary. unfortunately it rained during our trip so there were no sunset. but the guide was very accommodating and showed us another spot Gibson steps
Raquel is a fantastic guide. She is friendly, caring and professional (she shared interesting facts about the places we visited; great roadtrip soundtrack; steady driver; always gave good overview of the food options at our food stops). The Great Ocean Road is packed with amazing views such as 12 Apostles, Lord Ard Gorge, and the views as the coach travels along the coastline. We spotted koalas and parrots in the wild, too. An excellent tour for people who want to see the Great Ocean Road!
Amazing Great Ocean Road tour with Ashleigh, she was warm, funny, and informative! We saw wild koalas and an echidna, and ended the day with a stunning sunset at the Twelve Apostles. Just wish everyone stuck to the schedule — for a slower pace, a private tour’s best. Overall, such a memorable trip! 🌅
I joined the Sunset Great Ocean Road Tour and was lucky to have Jess as our guide. From the moment the trip started, Jess made everyone feel welcomed, safe, and taken care of. She shared stories with so much passion, pointed out hidden gems along the way, and always checked in to make sure everyone was comfortable. The entire journey was incredibly smooth — well-timed stops, no rushing, and plenty of opportunities to fully enjoy the stunning views. Watching the sunset at the Twelve Apostles was absolutely magical, and having a guide like Jess made it even more special. I genuinely had such a positive experience and highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne. Thank you, Jess, for your kindness, professionalism, and for making the whole group feel happy and relaxed. Wishing you all the very best! 🌅💛
