Privat Great Ocean Road Dagstur fra Melbourne

It was worth every penny. We traveled as a large group of 11, spanning several generations from 2 to 80 years old. Max was an understanding and fair guide; he was easy to talk to and very open-minded. He provided a wealth of information and remained professional yet friendly throughout the trip. ​A few highlights that really stood out: ​Proactive Service: He took care of all our luggage without us even having to ask. ​Great with Kids: He truly understands the needs of children, which made our family trip much smoother. ​Expert Planning: He had a clear understanding of the local weather patterns. When it started to rain, he proactively swapped our itinerary to ensure we saved the main highlights for a day with better weather, allowing us to fully enjoy the outdoor activities. ​We couldn't have asked for a better experience

Although we did get to see the places on the itinerary the guide Neil was unable to be understood. My brother actually had to show him how to set up the amplifier. The van itself had seats that were extremely small (we are not heavy people) and were very uncomfortable. The retractable step to exit the van did not work 95% of the time. He did not seem familiar with the vehicle. My sister actually almost fell when trying to exit when the step did not come out. None of the sites were truly explained since Neil had trouble speaking. He had at least 10 personal calls while he continued to drive. His instructions regarding the time in each place was very vague. We had been told by friends that this was a must do excursion and we all exited and looking forward to a wonderful day. . It turned out to be terrible! We were 7 in our group and each of us were totally disappointed! I have never written a bad review but I do believe you should be aware of this fiasco. I believe we deserve compensation for this abomination!

This tour along the Great Ocean Road was absolutely incredible — truly one of the highlights of my trip! Maxim picked me up right on time from my hotel in a very comfortable vehicle, which made the long scenic drive relaxing and enjoyable from the very beginning. Along the way, he shared fascinating stories about Australian history, making the journey as interesting as the destinations themselves. We visited some of the most iconic and breathtaking locations, including Bells Beach, the monument honoring the veterans who built the road, the historic lighthouse, and of course the magnificent Twelve Apostles. In addition to the main stops, Maxim frequently pulled over at the most scenic viewpoints so I could take beautiful photos — which made the experience feel very personal and unhurried. One of the most special parts of the day was spotting wild koalas resting in eucalyptus trees — we stopped several times to observe them in their natural habitat. On the way back, we also drove to see wild kangaroos, and passed through pastoral landscapes with farming areas and charming small towns, which added a lovely glimpse into regional Australia. What made the tour truly exceptional was Maxim’s depth of knowledge and enthusiasm. He didn’t just talk about Australian history — he explained the geological origins of the dramatic rock formations, discussed important military events that influenced Asia’s history, and even shared insights about Australia’s modern economy. The conversations were thoughtful, engaging, and intellectually stimulating. The entire day was beautifully paced, informative, and inspiring. I learned so much while seeing some of the most stunning landscapes in the world. Highly recommended — and especially with Maxim as your guide!

Great tour, the 12 apostles is a sight not to be missed, totally worth the long ride. Two thumbs up for this tour

The driver was very polite and attentive! The walk is well worth it! The landscapes are beautiful and the 12 Apostles are worth every penny!

Absolute amazing trip. Richard was a wonderful guide. Recommend this trip to everyone. So much was seen in one day.

We booked the private tour thinking that it would provide flexibility. The tour was very good, but also followed a very specific itinerary. While we highly recommend the tour, we wish our guide had listened more to our requests for what to see. We could have skipped the lighthouse and some of the other quick stops along the way. Part of the reason we chose the private tour was because we’d read others’ reviews of more customized tours. Our favorite stop was the very last one, which was just past the twelve apostles. Seeing the kangaroos was amazing! Our guide was very friendly and worked hard to give us a great experience.

Had a wonderful time! Andrew, our driver, was such a kind and insightful person. The trip was well planned out by the organizers giving us a 10/10 experience

Our guide was Milan, he was one of the best tour guides that we’ve had by comparison of many trips around the world that we have taken. His deep knowledge having traveled this route for many years - with his family and his friends - from when he was young man doing everything from scuba diving to camping to wildlife watching was demonstrated by his knowledge of where to go - what to do - and when to do it.

The best driver/guide tour I have had anywhere in the world I have traveled to but 2 continents. Richard’s knowledge and willingness to share was fantastic. This could have been a 12-14 hr tour but he was able to adjust stops and time spent so we could do the tour in 10.5 hours without missing the major points of interest.
