Why rent a car?

Elizabeth_R, May 2024

Meeting up with our guide Jens at the bus station couldn’t have been easier. He was very enthusiastic and entertaining. Great Ocean Road is the highlight but we also visited natural areas where we saw koalas emus and kangaroos. A suggestion for future trips: an earlier start on the last day with box lunch so we could go to Cleland wildlife instead of mt lofty overlook? Naracoorte fossil caves was also interesting. Would definitely do it again.

A Great Trip for a Great Road!

Richard_C, Feb 2024

Every was excellent! Pacing and variety of sites was prefect. Jen's was friendly, helpful, well organized, flexible, informative and always went the extra mile. Accommodations were surprising very nice for simple models out in the country. The included breakfast and lunch restaurants were top notch. Dinner restaurants were all top notch. No problem with luggage storage or seating space. Stops were spaced out well. Only recommendation would be if possible for WiFi while on the road in the vehicle.

A magical and leisurely coastal journey in South Australia

Bridget_S, Jan 2024

Fantastic tour guide Jens who was a former chef, so he always made sure our dining experiences were top notch. Loved all the little towns and stops along the way. He made it so personal and really went all out to make sure everyone had what they needed at every point on the trip. The lodging was quite adequate - not fancy, but did the trick in each of the three locations. I especially appreciated the lodge manager in Port Fairy letting me change my room to a more quiet location. Great locations for all hotels that made it easy to get into the little towns. Twelve Apostles was memorable - and so kind that Jens took us there the first day late in the day and then back again early the next morning so we could see it without the crowds. The van was very comfortable - there were only six of us total - and we all got along famously. I highly recommend this trip as a much more enjoyable way to see the coast instead of going out and back in one day to the 12 Apostles from Melbourne. We got to really see small town South Australia. The wineries were also a wonderful part of the trip - and Jens made sure we were treated like VIPs.
