1 star for Craig

This trip is so much fun, met an amazing group of people from all different age groups. Our guide, Mr bones/Craig, was a well traveled and well read men, who knew a lot about Australia, wild life, culture and nature. But also knew a a lot about the world. Funny man as well. The take you trough the highlights of the Great Ocean Road and the Grampians national park. With some decently challenging hikes, amazing views and good food. We spotted 20 koala's, 100's of western and eastern grey kangaroo's, swamp and redneck walibi's, an echidna and tons of birds. Would recommend this to everyone who is solo traveling, or doesn't want to rent a car.

Operator response

Thank you for joining our 3‑Day Great Ocean Road & Grampians tour! We’re delighted you enjoyed Craig’s humor, knowledge, and care, as well as the wildlife sightings and stunning hikes.

Fabulous experience!

I had an exceptional time the past three days at the Melbourne to Adelaide tour. Our tourguide, Sam, did an incredible job informing and entertaining us throughout the entire tour. He was excellently knowledgeable about every place we visited, and if someone had a question he would give it his full attention. He is a very enthusiastic guide and he was always very helpful and polite. We saw a lot of nice views and we did countless fun activities. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to explore the great ocean road and the grampians whilst meeting new friends!

I only put 3 stars...

I only put 3 stars for this reason The van we were traveling in was from the 90s, narrow seats not suitable for people over 6'10". Inconvenient. In addition, in those days the parks were closed for fire danger, clearly an event independent of all but the alternatives proposed were not up to the task at least for the group like mine that went to Adelaide. We found ourselves for two days filming in a village not knowing what to do. Very good driver/guide.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the vehicle comfort and park closures affected your experience. While closures due to fire danger are beyond our control, we understand how disappointing it was that the alternatives didn’t meet expectations, especially for those traveling onward to Adelaide. We truly appreciate your kind words about our guide and will take your comments on board to improve future tours.

10/10 Experience

The trip was an amazing experience! Our guide Ben was very knowledgeable about all the areas we visited. He made sure that we could just focus on having fun and seeing all the amazing sights during the 3 days. Our tour group was fun to spend time with and this trip was even better because of all the other participants. We saw a lot of wildlife but also had time to wind down during evenings. :)

Operator response

Thank you for sharing such kind words! We’re thrilled you had an amazing time with Ben and enjoyed the sights, wildlife, and evenings with your group. It’s wonderful to hear the experience was both fun and relaxing. 🌟
