Relaxing and beautiful sights of the suburbs and ocean landscapes. Saw koalas in their natural habitat
Darren was helpful when I contacted him at late notice as I was messed around by other tour companies. The driver Jeff was very accommodating and very friendly and he told us facts about the Great Ocean Road without being boring and over bearing. We were a family group of 10 for my Father in laws 80th birthday.
I did the booking from Sydney was so seamless and the entire process was very smooth. We were a family of 4 adults and a child 5yrs old, Darren was easy to coordinate with and gave me the pick up time. We were picked by Simon from our hotel and he gave us an amazing experience of the entire tour. We took the mornington peninsula tour aswell the next day and it was brilliant.Simon explained every little detail throughout the way and was great company.He kept my child entertained aswell. Even today my child asks me about Simon. Highly recommend MPT for future tours.
Enjoyable day at the Great Ocean road with a good mix of scenery, and insightful commentary on local history and wildlife (including spotting Echidnas and a tiger snake!). Simon was an easy going, knowledgeable and insightful guide. Thanks for a nice day!
Simply...great! We are at end of a 3 week Australia vacation and the last few days in Melbourne have been great....much of that thanks to our incredible guide, Garth. We did a half day city morning tour with him first.....his knowledge and mix of driving and walking was perfect. The following day we did the 12 Apostles - Great Ocean Road with Garth again.Part of this was supposed to be by helicopter however the weather did not co-operate for the helicopter portion.....we are glad it didn’t, as the additional time in the car with Garth was full of more great information details - flora;fauna;history plus lovely FYI,,Garth is a world of knowledge and made our visit to Melbourne so memorable......MPT has very comfortable vehicles and wonderful staff.
Hi there and thanks so much for leaving such a wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you had a great day time touring with us during your visit to Victoria, and Garth will be so pleased to hear of your feedback - even despite the weather affecting your scheduled itinerary. He certainly is a character and is passionate about sharing his love for Melbourne and Victoria with visitors. Comments like yours make our team's hard work feel very worthwhile and remind us of why we do what we do. It's great that Melbourne was a lovely end to your time in Australia, we hope to see you again soon!
What promised to be a long day filled with a lot of driving, we're so glad we chose to do it on a private tour and take the airplane flight over the 12 Apostles. Flying instead of driving saved so much time and gave us an exhilarating perspective. 35 minutes in the air goes by fast, so it would have been nice to make one more loop over the Apostles, but all the scenery was still beautiful to see. Our guide, Darren, was personable and enthusiastic. We thoroughly enjoyed his company for the day.
Hi made4livin, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! It's great to hear you enjoyed your Great Ocean Road tour with Darren. He'll be really pleased to hear your feedback. Including a flight as part of a tour is definitely a great choice because it can save some driving time and also give you an appreciation of the incredible coastline from a vantage point a lot of people don't experience! Thanks again and we hope to see you back in Melbourne, Victoria again soon.
Easy to book online a two day private tour to the Great Ocean Road and we also added on a helicopter ride over the twelve apostles which was fantastic. We were lucky to get Simon who was a brilliant guide and had lots of information to impart and answered all our stupid questions. Was a really good two days and Simon looked after us very well and had excellent recommendations for lunch and dinner. Able to adapt things to accommodate my mums bad knees and we saw lots of wildlife. Thanks for a great trip. Highly recommended.
Hi Annie, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! Simon will be most pleased to read your feedback. The Great Ocean Road is his speciality and he loves showing visitors this special part of Australia. We're so glad you enjoyed your tour with us and your stay in Victoria!
I surprised my mum for her birthday with this private Great Ocean Road tour. Brendan, our guide, was very knowledgeable of all of Melbourne and the GOR and was a delight to travel with and hear his stories. We made multiple stops that varied from Koala sight seeing, rain forest walks and lunch at Apollo Bay. Unfortunately the weather kept us on the ground and we didn’t make it to the sky in the helicopter to see the Apostles, but Brendan made up for it by stopping at many more places. We will be back to do it again with MPT when the weather is finer! Thank you Brendan and the Team!!
Hello Kayah, thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts and feedback on your tour! We're so pleased that you had a great day out along the spectacular Great Ocean Road, despite the weather not being ideal. We'll be sure to pass on your feedback to Brendo who'll be very pleased to hear. See you again next time.
Great day form the start to the end from Melbourne to Great Ocean Road and helicopter to 12 Apostles. Great vehicle, great guide, great vies, great stops and great lunch - absolutely recommended. And when I was able to forget a jacket in the vehicle, they sent this all the way to Norway for me as well.
Hi Runar N, thank you for your review! The Great Ocean Road is truly a spectacular experience, and to view it from the ground and the air is getting the best of both worlds. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your whole tour with us. The Great Ocean Road can be a long day with a daunting drive for many, and we aim to deliver an experience that is at a good pace tailored around guests' specific interests. Thanks again!
MPT made it happen for us. Only disappointment was because of the weather we were unable to fly in the helicopter. Our driver found a quicker route to the Apostles and drove through interesting (to us) agriculture area to get there. Our tour lasted from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM...too short of a time to really see the Great Ocean Road out of Melbourne but we were satisfied.
Hi SisuColorado, thanks for your review! We're pleased to hear that you achieved your one main goal of seeing the 12 Apostles, which truly is a spectacular sight within Australia. It is a shame that the poor weather meant your flight could not proceed - however you now have another reason to return to Victoria!
