We really enjoyed our...
We really enjoyed our private tour . It was great to be on our own schedule . We also took a helicopter ride that was amazing

Awesome experience at 12 Apostles
Very personal and customizable experience - ideal for who are in shorter timeframes and want to go directly to key interest points. Very knowledgeable guide - very nice ride. If possible and weather permits, I fully recommend the helicopter ride over the 12 Apostles - incredible scenery and unforgettable memories!

Excellent tour
This is a private tour so basically Rob will do any itinerary that you want. He was totally flexible. We were staying in Melbourne for two days aboard a cruise ship. He gave us perfect directions on where to meet him at the dock, very simple. We had booked the shorter express tour, but it was still about 9 hours. With the express tour you miss some of the scenery on the Great Ocean Road. But we still spent about 3 hours viewing the 12 Apostles, Razorback, Lock Ard, and Gibson steps. These are all spectacular and I highly recommend you view all four. Rob is a personable guide and very knowledgeable about the entire Melbourne area. He also sent us several photos after the tour. One is attached.

A day filled with Breathtaking Scenery
This tour was nothing but spectacular. Rob, the owner/operator of Your Exclusive Tours made our day enjoyable and personal. Rob made our experience unique to our interests and added sights we were not expecting. He was accommodating in picking us up at our ship and delivering each couple that night to their respective hotels. I would highly recommend Your Exclusive Tours. Thanks Rob
