The best way to get from Adelaide to Melbourne!

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this tour, and only stumbled upon it when trying to decide the best way to get from Adelaide to Melbourne - let me tell you: I AM SO HAPPY I discovered this three-day adventure, especially since I already wanted to see the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne, and [the amazing] Grampians were just icing on the cake. This is a fantastic tour and a great way to travel between the two cities. The bus rides weren't too long, the hikes were amazing, and the accommodations were very nice! Our tour guide Craig was awesome! Admittedly, it took a bit to warm up with him, but he is an extremely experienced and knowledgeable guide with a lot of stories and information to share. He took extra effort to show our small group the little gems of the area, and ensured our timetables were always on track. I would definitely do this tour again - don't hesitate to book. I have now done several fantastic tours with Autopia, and they are the one's worth going with :D
