Beautiful tour to discover in small group.

A nice experience , a small group of 14 people from different countries, it already allows for nice contacts. Our guide Ben was very interesting, humorous and attentive to all. The places visited live up to our expectations, with a rhythm allowing us to make small to medium excursions (max 2h30, and not always stay on the bus. Very good organization for meals and accommodation, especially barbecue.

We are thrilled to hear that the small, diverse group fostered great connections and that Ben’s engaging and attentive guidance made the trip special. It’s fantastic to know that the places visited met your expectations and that the balanced pace allowed you to enjoy the excursions without feeling rushed.

Our 3D tour on the Great Ocean Road and the Grampian was an awsome experience! Besides all the wanders of nature, that we saw during these 3 days, our guide Ben’s passion, for the places he was showing us, made everything be even more special. Not to mention the nice bonding that arouse among the members of our group!

Adelaide to Melbourne 3 day tour

Excellent tour from Adelaide to Melbourne made even more enjoyable by our wonderful guide Ben. We stopped at all the major points worth seeing in The Grampians and on the Great Ocean Road. Including places that you wouldn’t know to visit if doing this yourself. One of my favourites was seeing Koalas and Emus at Tower Hill. Nice mix of tour time, socialising time and time to relax and enjoy our surroundings. Incredibly good value especially considering the breakfast and dinners were included. Ben’s BBQ in Halls Gap was delicious. Would 100% recommend.

Operator response

We’re so glad you loved the 3 Day Great Ocean Road & Grampians Tour! Ben’s guiding, wildlife encounters, and that Halls Gap BBQ sound like highlights. Thank you for recommending us 🌟🐨.

scenic highlights

I recently took a tour along the Great Ocean Road and through the Grampians, and it was absolutely spectacular! The drive itself was breathtaking, with stunning coastal views and iconic landmarks like the Twelve Apostles. Our guide provided insightful commentary, enhancing the experience. The Grampians offered incredible hiking opportunities, with lush landscapes and impressive waterfalls. Wildlife sightings, including kangaroos and colorful birds, added to the adventure. The small group made it easy to bond with fellow travelers, and the local food was delightful. This trip beautifully combined natural beauty and cultural experiences, making it a must-do for any nature lover!

Best tour I have ever been on

The 3 Day tour on the Great Ocean Road has been an incredible experience! Incredible sights, nature and Australian wildlife at every corner and the best tour guide you can possibly imagine. I cannot recommend Janet enough for her knowledge-cultural immersion and stories, kindness, humour and being an overall wonder woman when it comes to taking care of our small group. An amazing experience that is definitely worth it!

Operator response

Wow! Thank you for such a glowing review! We're thrilled the 3-day escape left such a lasting impression, and we couldn’t agree more about Janet. Her warmth, wisdom, and wonder-woman energy make every journey unforgettable. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words!
