Great 4.0
Nice enough place to stay and good value for money. Room had all the little extras like soap, shampoo, conditioner and a good selection of tea and coffee. Only passing thru for the night and it's Winter time so didn't see much of the place. Drove to Jan Jac for dinner at Bird Rock Restaurant and they had a live comedy show on for the night so really enjoyed that

JOHN was the best tour guide ever. He would not let us cone back to Melbourne. without having actual view of the kangaroos! He has been very patient and had lots of very interesting story and trivias along the way. The itinerary is packed so get ready to make the mist of your trip! Worth the money!!!

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.

This reversed tour is well planned and we don't have to squeeze with many tourists and also avoided the afternoon sun. The tour is a little schedule packed but we managed to cover many places and lookouts. Also managed to spot Koalas. Thanks to our friendly guide Mark!

We had a wonderful day. Thank you to our tour guide, Kiwi, for the professional commentary and attentive service. Every seat on the bus was equipped with a USB charging port, and the Wi-Fi signal was good throughout the entire trip.

Definitedly recommend for 1day tour for Great Ocean Road. Augustine is very knowledge and funny. He gave all tourist spots history and joking all time time that make the trip is so much fun no boring at all. Price is reasonable, bus is comfortable and clean. Some tips and time managemane is perfect. I love London bridge (last spot) the most.
