Jono was very fun,plays great music,very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time. We rate 10
Amazing day, brilliant memories made, we saw the most beautiful sights and really enjoyed sharing that experience with others on the trip. Luke our tour guide was “unBELIEVable”… he really made us laugh as well as driving us, providing loads of interesting information and looking after everyone all day. The schedule was packed which meant we got to see so many beautiful spots along the road. We even saw koalas and dolphins! It was the greatest of ocean roads.
The driver was friendly and nice. I was taken to a point where I could see koalas in the wild. It is a pity that the twelve apostles stayed a little short, but I think it was generally good.
The drive is very long, and most of the time is spent on winding roads. There's hardly any time to enjoy the beautiful views. There are only two or three nice roads anyway. Too many tourists, and everything is stressful.
Everything is perfect. The driver guide John was great and very friendly. He allowed us to enjoy these places
I have a great time touring with Luke to the Great Ocean Road. The views are astonish and I enjoyed a lot all the explanations from our guide. The group was also really welcoming for me, as I was travelling alone 😃
Good trip but a long time in the coach and a very long day. Luke was a funny and good tour guide overall.
I enjoyed the whole trip. Guide was super humorous. A lot of laughter even we don’t know each other.
It was an amazing tour, John’s energy and charisma is amazing, he was happy to use his microphone to tell the history about the Great Ocean, and every destination that we have in our tour, and making all of us laugh during the whole tour! And he included us a morning tea! Such a great experience with him! Thanks alot! 😎
The tour guide John was awesome. He did a great job covering all the locations and explaining facts. He had a great sense of humor. He was knowledgeable, kind, entertaining and courteous. Would highly recommend this tour.
