Our guide, Raph, was amazing. The size of the group (16) was perfect. Easy to manage and everyone was on time. The places we stopped at were incredible and the lunch recommendation was totally worth it. I highly recommend this tour. The reverse itinerary is very smart!

This is the first time I went on the group tour. To be honest, I was not really expecting it would be the same way as I expected, but you know what, this one is really beyond my expectations!!Raph is the best tour guide in the MEL. I’m 100% sure. The weather wasn’t really good in the morning, but makes our trip more challenging. I have already recommended the tour to my friends, Hope we can meet someday in the future. Best wishes☺️

Our tour guide Marc was amazing. He was really nice and gave us a lot of interesting information. He showed us good spots and we could see some free koalas and kangaroos living in the nature. The great ocean road is definitely a must do in Melbourne and the tour is a great deal. We were only a small group which was fabulous because you had the chance to talk to everybody and have a nice “familiar” experience.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Marc is a wonderful tour guide. Happy to hear you enjoyed the small group tour Selina! Thanks for your review.

Great energy from the guide ... nice people, great views ... excellent trip. We got a sunny day, so it was perfect. Be aware of the wind/cold even in the summer, bring a jacket.
