The entire day was very well organized, from the Hotel pick up to the choice of stops along the way. Thanks to the best tour guide and driver Aaron, he did a wonderful job telling us lots of interesting facts, having a laugh and bringing everybody safely back zu Melbourne.

This was a well run tour, where you get to see a range of things along the great ocean road. All the stops were interesting, with a balance of picture opportunities and being able to stretch your legs. It’s a long day but there are opportunities to get refreshments and have loo stops at the right times. Information from the tour guide was good throughout the day and he made an effort to include everyone in the group.

We had an amazing day, despite all kind of weather, rain at the start and then sun at the end on the most scenic route. Lucy our guide made the day, funny, entertaining and full of knowledge about everything. Thank you Lucy for a wonderful day. And we had good company from other participants on the trip, it was nice that the bus was not so big.
