Melbourne Dagtrips

We hadden een ongelooflijke dag langs de Great Ocean Road, grotendeels dankzij onze chauffeur, Daniel! Zeer geduldig met onze groep, ongelooflijk behulpzaam gedurende de hele reis, en vol informatieve inzichten over de kustlijn en de lokale fauna. De rit was soepel, comfortabel en stressvrij van begin tot eind. Wij raden ten zeerste aan om een tour met hen te boeken!

Magnificent experience and it went beyond expectations. We were relaxed but covered all our stops and even more than our original itinerary. Didn't expect to laugh so much but our guide, Warren, got us all the time with his well-timed jokes and stories. The energy was great and made new memories to treasure. Would definitely recommend this tour and personally, would be back again with family next time we visit Melbourne.

Gids Curtis was erg enthousiast, en in het begin leek hij inderdaad wat spraakzaam. Maar later gaf hij ons ook tijd om uit te rusten. De hele tour had voldoende tijd, we voelden ons helemaal niet gehaast, hoewel sommige gasten misschien iets te laat waren. De ervaring met de stoomtrein was erg goed, ik had niet verwacht dat we er bijna 45 minuten in zouden zitten. De meeste souvenirs hoef je naar mijn mening niet te kopen; gebruik die tijd liever om foto's te maken en van het landschap te genieten. Toen we de pinguïns gingen bekijken, was ik verrast dat de gids, toen hij zag dat ik een korte rok droeg, vroeg of ik het koud had en me zelfs een warmtepakje gaf. Ik ben niet kouwelijk, dus ik gaf het warmtepakje meteen aan mijn vriendin die wel kouwelijk is. Ik raad iedereen aan om de luxe zitplaatsen te kopen, want dan zie je het hele proces van hoe ze aan land komen en weer teruggaan. Je bent dan bijna op twee handpalmen afstand van ze, wat het absoluut waard is. Nog verrassender was de sterrenhemel; het uitzicht in combinatie met de pinguïns was echt 100 punten waard. Hartelijk dank voor deze ervaring.

We had a great time on this tour! It included all the must-see locations in well-designated stops, and the views were amazing. With the limited time for the entire tour (1 day), Tony, our tour guide and driver, managed the time efficiently and swimmingly while keeping a warm demeanor as our guide. Coming back to this place is in the horizon for my spouse and I.

very convenient way to do a tour of yarra valley and go for a ride at Puffing Billy. That was really the highlight of the tour. The other stops were just to build up the excitement. The wine tasting was worth spending a little bit too. Everyone was relaxed after it.

The ride on the Puffing Billy steam train was truly impressive! Sitting on the open carriage window sills, dangling our legs outside, and feeling the breeze while passing through lush green forests was such an exciting experience! The penguin parade was incredible! I was grateful to see around 60 penguins—on average, about 700 penguins come out to the island each day. Australian penguins are the little penguin and irresistibly cute! I was also delighted to see baby Cape Barren Geese; they are utterly adorable! Our tour guide is knowledgeable and cares for our basic needs such as going to the bathroom and having our meals during the day. I highly recommend wearing enough clothing because Philip Island is very windy.

I joined the Great Ocean Road tour with Go West Tours on 31 July and had an amazing day from start to finish. A huge thank you to our guide and driver, Aleks. She shared lots of interesting history, facts, and local insights that helped us better understand the places we visited. Her commentary was engaging and informative, but never overwhelming. She knew exactly when to explain things and when to give everyone some quiet time to relax, which made the long journey very comfortable. She is also an excellent driver. Despite spending the entire day on the road, the ride was smooth and I never felt uncomfortable. Aleks also knew all the best photo spots and kindly helped us take many beautiful photos throughout the trip. The whole tour was very well organised and ran smoothly from start to finish. Overall, one of the highlights of my trip. Highly recommend Go West Tours, and a special thanks to Aleks for making the experience so memorable! 😊

Deze omgekeerde tour is goed gepland en we hoeven niet te dringen met veel toeristen en vermeden ook de middagzon. De tour is een beetje volgepland, maar we hebben veel plaatsen en uitkijkpunten kunnen bezoeken. We hebben ook koala's gespot. Met dank aan onze vriendelijke gids Mark!

We started the tour around 7:40 AM and got back here around 7:30 PM. Overall, the tour was really good, especially for the price. Our driver, John Huang, was really nice and explained everything in both Chinese and English, which was really helpful. We did have a little rain towards the end of the tour, but it didn’t really affect the overall experience. We really enjoyed the tour!
