We had an amazing experience on The Great Ocean Road Tour! Our tour guide, William, was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and very organized throughout the entire trip. He shared interesting facts and stories about each destination, making the journey both enjoyable and informative. William ensured that everyone was comfortable, kept the tour on schedule, and gave us enough time to enjoy the beautiful sights and take photos. His positive attitude and sense of humor made the experience even more memorable. The Great Ocean Road is absolutely stunning, and having William as our guide made the tour even better. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Melbourne. Thank you, William, for a fantastic day!

We had a great family visit to SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium. The kids loved the penguins, sharks, and underwater tunnel, and there were plenty of interactive exhibits to keep them entertained. The aquarium is clean, stroller-friendly, and easy to explore with children. It can get busy, but overall it’s a fun and educational attraction that’s well worth visiting for families with kids.

Tony was great driving us along the Great Ocean Road and back on the big bus, serving as driver, guide, photographer and timekeeper. Spotted wild koalas along the way. Itinerary was well spaced out, right amount of time for photos at each stop. Lunch at Apollo Bay was great, too bad it rained after lunch so didn’t get to explore much. We reached the 12 Apostles at the right timing, bright and sunny. Unfortunately, it rained heavily at Loch Ard Gorge, but stopped when we were at London Bridge, though the sky had turned gloomy by then. Overall, would recommend this tour for those that don’t opt to self drive the Great Ocean Road.

Tony was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. He gave a thorough explanation throughout our whole 12 hours or so journey...it is such a delightful experience! Thank you for the memories!

I highly recommend this day trip! We met at 9 AM and returned to Melbourne city center at 9:30 PM! The itinerary was perfectly planned, and our driver and guide, Joe, was very professional and meticulous. He personally led us at each stop and introduced the attractions in English while driving. He's from Hong Kong, speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, and his English explanations were very detailed. He's been in Australia for 25 years and drives smoothly! We were very lucky to have such a good guide; he took individual photos for everyone at each stop and even filmed us standing on the bridge when we rode the Puffing Billy steam train. He was also very friendly to children!!! We traveled in a medium-sized bus, with about 20 people in our group! The first stop was a chocolate factory, where we stayed for 40 minutes with unlimited chocolate tasting. The second stop was for wine tasting (AUD 15 per person, optional), lasting 30 minutes. We tasted 5 types of wine, about two sips of each. I personally feel this optional activity isn't a must-do; perhaps I'm not a connoisseur, as I couldn't discern anything special. Next was lunch, in a small town with options like McDonald's and Chinese restaurants (at our own expense). Most people chose McDonald's. We stayed for 40 minutes. Our Puffing Billy steam train ride was at 2:15 PM. We were lucky that the train wasn't delayed and the weather was great. The ride lasted about half an hour. Seating is important; sit on the right side to get the best view of the train! Unfortunately, the timing was tight, so we didn't have time to stop at the souvenir shop to buy postcards. Then we visited Mary's Koala & Kangaroo Sanctuary. Unlike city zoos, this one is smaller, but you can feed and touch kangaroos up close. This is an optional activity, AUD 30 per person (group ticket price), and we stayed for about 45 minutes. It's definitely worth experiencing! Everyone had a great time. The last stop was the Penguin Parade, where we had an hour, which was enough time. The penguins mainly return to their nests after sunset, coming home in groups! It's recommended to find a good spot for photos early. It's quite cold there as it's the southernmost point of Melbourne! In summary, the itinerary isn't rushed, but be prepared for long travel times. If you're lucky enough to have Joe as your guide, it will be a wonderful day!

Our tour guide, Curtis, was very enthusiastic. At first, he seemed a bit talkative, but he also gave us time to rest later on. The entire tour had plenty of time, and we never felt rushed, though some guests might have been a little late. The steam train experience was excellent; I was surprised we rode it for almost 45 minutes. I personally think most souvenirs aren't necessary to buy; it's better to use that time for photos and enjoying the scenery. When we went to see the penguins, I was surprised that the guide noticed I was wearing a skirt and asked if I was cold, even thoughtfully giving me a hand warmer. I'm not someone who gets cold easily, so I immediately gave the hand warmer to my friend who does. I highly recommend buying the deluxe seats because you'll be incredibly close to the penguins, almost within arm's reach, as you watch them come ashore and then return. It's absolutely worth it. Even more surprising was the sky full of stars; the scenery combined with the penguins was truly a perfect 100. Many thanks to the tour for this wonderful experience.

I really enjoyed this tour and appreciated how much effort Matt put into making the experience fun and informative. He shared lots of interesting information about Melbourne and Phillip Island, plus gave plenty of helpful recommendations before the tour ended. The itinerary was well-planned, and we had enough time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Matt even managed to squeeze in some extra spots so we could see kangaroos, wallabies, and other animals along the way. The Puffing Billy Railway ride was a nice experience, the views at The Nobbies during sunset were absolutely beautiful, and the little penguins were incredibly cute!! 😄

¡Un viaje fantástico! Nos recibió nuestro conductor John. Es excepcional y divertido. Amable y siempre alegre. Hizo que todo el autobús disfrutara del viaje. La hora de recogida fue temprano, pero valió la pena. Un viaje tranquilo. Realmente disfrutamos de este viaje. Solo tenga en cuenta y respete la hora indicada por su conductor. Tuvimos que esperar media hora en el autobús por 2 chicas después de esquiar. Sería bueno si cada miembro del autobús planificara bien su tiempo. En general, ¡John lo hizo todo mejor! ¡Gracias, John!

We visited the Melbourne Museum with our kids aged 8 and 9, and they absolutely loved it! The dinosaur exhibits and interactive displays kept them entertained and excited the whole time. The museum was clean, family-friendly, and easy to explore. A great place for both fun and learning — highly recommended for families with young kids.
