It was a great experience to have a wonderful Great Ocean road trip with the group and tour guide Fred. Fred is one of the most humble, excellent and good individuals. I can visualise the entire plot when he explained to us about loch ard George stories and great ocean road other stories.
It was really great experience to be with a wonderful group and Fred. My wife really made the right call by asking me to confirm this ticket via Viator.
Amazing day trip!

This tour was great! Shane our guide and driver was a fantastic, funny and knowledgable person who made the day even more enjoyable. We stopped off at well known hotspots along the Great Ocean Road, as well as a few hidden gems for great views and to see some illusive Aussie wildlife.
Great experience

This small group tour is a complete coverup if of great ocean road,Apollo bay ,bird sanctuary and a few photo points.
Would have been more exciting if we could just wet our feet in the southern ocean and also the 12 apostles beach front .
Our guide frank was a excellent coach and kept us engaged throughout the way
Great Experience

Roger was a fantastic guide and broke up the trip with well planned stops to see the most excellent sites. From nature reserves to beaches to natural wonders this is definitely worth it. Full of great information and humor, Roger was an excellent guide. I would definitely take this again.

Had an unexpected private tour to the Great Ocean Road as the other guests could not make it due to the weather conditions. Liam from Oceania Tours and Safari is a great guide, very knowledgeable. He had to switch the program as part of the Great Ocean Road was closed due to floodings, nevertheless showed me this beautiful ocean and I was able to see the famous 12 apostles. We looked for koalas and kangoroos. I really enjoyed the day and would highly recommend them for this tour. Thanks Liam!
excellent tour for small family, Great...

O passeio é maravilhoso. Os lugar onde estão os doze apóstolos é de tirar o fôlego. O que não gostei foi que foi tudo muito rápido e corrido, o almoço e as paradas todas. Sugiro começar um pouco mais cedo e ficar mais tempo em cada lugar. É muito tempo de viagem para chegar lá e ficar tão pouco.

You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
