Great day, though a little long. Very knowledgeable tour guide, but talked a lot. The "billy" tea and lamingtons were at best false advertising. Thermos tea put into a billy before serving in a styrofoam cup does not constitute a billy tea experience, and lamingtons in a packet, with jam in the middle, does not represent an Aussie lamington. Either scrap this bit in the advertising or make it a real experience. Other than that, it was a great tour. Great Ocean Road was beautiful.

The optional helicopter ride was the highlight of my trip.

The scenery was beautiful, and we had lots of opportunity to take pics. It's a long day, and the ride back is at night, but if you're in Melbourne this is one tour you should take.

Very good day. Large amount of people on coach but plenty of time to stop and driver was full of information. Worth paying to do the helicopter ride at the 12 apostles.

With the wind, rain, sun, and cold, it made for an interesting trip. The ocean needs to be seen in bad weather to see nature's fury in its glory. If the weather was a little better, I probably would have had a better time. But, you can't predict the weather. The sights were great and I would recommend this to others coming to Australia.

Great way to relax and see the Great Ocean Road without having the burden of having to drive and feel tired. Only negative was the number of flies at 12 apostles but not much can be done about that I suppose.

This was a first-rate day trip. The driver was informative and interesting, with just the right mix of talk, silence and video. He was helpful at stops and did everything he could to assist us in getting the most out of the day.
We would recommend this trip to anyone travelling in the state of Victoria. We just wish we had time for more trips of this caliber.
The trip itself was great. The views were magnificent, although rushed. The penguin island stop was the best. It was so amazing and beautiful. Just make sure you bring some warm clothing.

This was a great trip. The tour director was very informative and friendly. I would recommend this tour to others that would like to take the hassle out of traveling. We toured in a comfortable bus, with plenty of time to stop at each of the natural wonders and attractions along the way. I would also recommend the optional helicopter ride over the Twelve Apostles. It was breathtaking and worth every penny.

This was an unbelievable drive. We would definitely recommend taking up the offer to go on the discounted helicopter ride over the Apostles. The only negative comment to make would be that we, as a couple, were not able to sit together on the bus. But other than that, it was fantastic!

There is lots of wonderful scenery on this trip, but you also stop at quite unremarkable places which detracts from the more impressive stops and makes the day far longer than it needs to be, resulting in a tiring day. By the end of the day, you've lost the will to get out of the coach and look at the latest view! The best bits were the twelve apostles and the koala stop.
