An amazing day trip! Undoubtedly, one of the highlights of my Australian vacation. Great scenery and amazing views, both wildlife and nature, highly recommended to anyone! The concept of tour for backpackers was a great choice, would I have more time I’d take the two days itinerary. Our tour guide Guy was incredible, made the day unique and unforgettable.

Guy was a lovely tour guide, we got to see all sorts with very few other people around.
Wild koalas and kangaroos, great views on the 12 apostles and interesting little bits of information form Guy himself.
Plus his playlist was a smash

I had an amazing experience on the Great Ocean Road tour! The pickup was right on time, and the driver drove safely, making the already stunning drive even more enjoyable. The guide was full of cool and insightful information throughout the journey, but I do wish he had a microphone in the car so we could hear him better while driving. A must-do is grabbing seafood in Hope Island—absolutely delicious! The guide also brought along a professional camera and sent us all the photos afterward, which was a thoughtful touch. Was it worth the money? I'd say so! If I could add anything, it would be more conversation during the car ride, with more details about the surrounding area. Overall, a fabulous day!
