• 5Wonderful tour of great ocean road

  It was a beautiful day seeing all the sites along ocean road. Our tour guide Warren was wonderful, very knowledgeable and made the trip so enjoyable. It is definitely an all day experience so be prepared for any weather and to be driving a lot.

• 4Great views and wild animals!

  It was a great experience with lots of great views of some key locations on the Great Ocean Road. The guide, Tony, often gave information and told stories about the towns we visited and did a very good job at finding wild koalas and kangaroos for us to see. We did spend a lot of the day driving, and it is a long day so bring food and drink.

  Warren was great! He was very informative and funny. My husband and I had an amazing time touring the Great Ocean Road. This is a must-do. The scenery is breathtaking and it was so fun getting to see koalas up close in their natural habitat.

• 5Inspiring Ocean Road Trip

  Its an amazing and unforgettable experience in this ocean road trip. In particular, the driver/tour guide Warren did a brilliant job by bringing us to see wild kangaroos and kualas, which was definitely not arranged by other companies. Warren's voice was soft and with his knowledge about Australia's history, everyone of us was benefitted. I will give a big thumb up for those looking for similar trip.

About Melbourne

Melbourne is the capital of Victoria on the Yarra River, known for laneway cafés, street art, grand Victorian buildings and a calendar full of sport.

Melbourne grew rich on the gold rush of the 1850s, and the grand buildings from that time still stand in the grid of the city centre, among them Flinders Street Station with its yellow facade and the domed Royal Exhibition Building. Federation Square and the National Gallery of Victoria stand close to the Yarra, and trams rattle along the main streets. Narrow lanes such as Hosier Lane are covered in ever-changing street art.

Top-ranked sights in Melbourne: Loch Ard Gorge, Twelve Apostles, Great Ocean Road.
