An excellent day. Beautiful scenery along the Ocean Road, a nice lunch of sandwiches, freshly prepared, in a costal village. Numerous scenic stops along the way. Look out for koalas in the trees above, as well as a bird of prey or two. There is an option to include a ten-minute helicopter trip above the Twelve Apostles - this is a must! I was the only one on our tour brave enough to do this, and I thoroughly enjoyed the views. Take a video camera. The views of the London Bridge at sunset were beautiful. A long day, but totally worth the journey!

It was a amazing and wonderful trip that we ever have had before. The tour guide was great, he has professional attitude, entertaining, funny and extremely friendly, and the tour schedule was excellent, also Viator staff was so helpful and friendly too.

We had a fantastic day. Our tour leader was brilliant, informative and friendly and the mini bus was definitely a good choice - less waiting for people to return to the coach after stopping at the various places and more access to out of the way places that a large coach couldn't get to. The scenery was wonderful and the helicopter flight over The Twelve Apostles was fantastic value for money. The meal stop was rather disappointing but I expect finding somewhere suitable to eat on the journey back would be rather difficult but it didn't spoil a wonderful day. I would throughly recommend it.

It was the best tour I ever had, with a funny and friendly driver who is also a tour guide. He did a great job. More than worth the money I spent on the tour - even got offered a free lunch.

To go on the Great Ocean Road was the highlight of my trip to Victoria. It is a once-in-a-lifetime natural view.

This is a quality day out. Our driver was great. Very informative. You stop at an Aboriginal center and for lunch on the way, as well as a rain forest and the Twelve Apostles and a few other stops. The worst part is they stop for fast food on the way home, so you find yourself stuffing McDonald's or Subway in the back of a dark van trying to balance everything on your knee. What's nice is they give you a PSP device to watch movies on the long journey back to Melbourne to pass the time. This was one of the best tours we took in our 3 weeks in Australia.

Would have said absolutely loved it but the rain was the only thing that spoilt the experience. Our driver was patient and funny, we were the only Australians on board. It was a little bit corny music for us but the international tourists lapped that up I think. Wish we had of taken warmer clothes. In saying that we had a marvelous time and would like to go again in a couple of years.

The trip was good. Our driver was friendly but talked too much. Still, it was better than going on a big tour bus, although neither the automatic door nor the heating worked on our bus! I definitely recommend the helicopter ride, it was the highlight of the trip!

Our guide was excellent all the time, from the time she picked us up to bringing us safely back to our hotel. She was a lovely, friendly host with everyone, making us all feel welcome, and with her cheery personality the day was truly wonderful. A shame the roadworks prevented us from visiting London Bridge, but the helicopter ride made up for that. The weather was perfect, too, and I slept like a log that night. Thanks once again for a great day of learning new things about the Aborigines and meeting new people.

The tour was well worth the time and money. I learned more about the Aborigines here than any place. The only negative thing was the small bus and the long ride back, but overall it was a good trip.
