Great Ocean Road Tour - Was Just OK

The Great Ocean Road tour is a very long drive (almost too long). We booked a private tour for my family of 7. The tour guide showed up in an old minivan that was not really big enough for our family to be comfortable. Plus, the minivan was loud and the seats were not firm. We spent almost 12 hrs driving around cramped up and uncomfortable.

Operator response

Dear Rob Slatter, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent Great Ocean Road tour with us. I sincerely apologize that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. I’d like to address a few points you mentioned. The vehicle we use for tours is a Kia Carnival 2020 model, widely regarded as one of the best 8-seater options in Australia for comfort and spaciousness. While it may be four years old, it’s meticulously maintained and has served countless guests, receiving positive feedback for its reliability and comfort. I’ve been using this van for two years with the aim of providing memorable journeys, and I regret that it didn’t meet your family’s comfort standards this time. As for the duration, the Great Ocean Road is indeed a long journey, typically 12-13 hours to fully explore its breathtaking coastline and iconic stops like the 12 Apostles. The beauty of this tour lies in experiencing its many scenic points, which naturally makes it a full-day adventure. Even the shortest route would take about 7 hours, and skipping key stops would diminish the experience. That said, I appreciate your candid feedback. It’s clear I didn’t reach your expectations this time, and for that, I truly apologize. Your comments will help me improve further, and I hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future. Warm regards, JP Escape Melbourne Tours

Private family tour to Great Ocean Road, amazing experience ✨️

Trip with Great Ocean Road with Escape Melbourne tours was the random decision we made but it was the best decision. The whole trip was GREAT. Our tour guide, Jignesh, was very friendly, he explained to us anything we would ask, and took us to all planned and even an unplanned location to see the beautiful sunset view! The Kia Carnival was a comfortable and spacious car with A/C; I found that the private tour much more fun then the group tour, as you can make your own time at every stop; Jignesh made plenty of stops during the day for snacks, coffee, and bathroom breaks. Sandwiches and fruits were provided for lunch. The views we had during the entire trip were breathtaking! Melbourne weather can be tricky: bring a windbreaker jacket. Definitely wear comfortable shoes and don't forget your sunglasses and hat. I'd 100% recommend this Day Trip to anyone with Escape Melbourne tours. Thanks Jignesh for your amazing service throughout the trip.

Great Ocean Road Memories

We cannot recommend the Escape Melbourne Tours highly enough. Our wonderful guide JP was a joy to spend time with. His knowledge of the tour, communication level, and attitude is very extensive, and moreover JP customized the trip as we requested. He waited without any hesitation at each stop even we came late back (most of the spots haa haa). His speech on anything was engaging and we came away from the tour with so much interesting conversation while we were driving. We wish JP could be our tour guide everywhere we go! Thank you so much for making our Family Trip to Great Ocean Road such a joy and memorable.
