Great ocean Road trip

Had a great trip lead by Ben. Great group. Accommodation first night was amazing and the bbq at YHA was really appreciated. The walks and knowledge shared along the road was informative. Got to see koalas, emus and kangaroos. Kiwi drove us back to Melbourne and really enjoyed being able to detour to Ballarat botanical gardens.

Amazing experience

I had the best time ever on this excursion. My first one since arriving in Australia and unsure of any of the others will be able to compare to this one. The sights you see and the information you get along the way is incredible, and I thought it was very good value for money. Both overnight accommodations were really good and exceeded my expectations. Ben was the best guide / driver and laugh all around, and I already have recommended this tour to my friends. 10/10 loved it - so very greatful for this experience. Thank you!
