A Great Day on the Great Ocean Road

Very enjoyable Great Ocean Road sunset tour with Go West. The later start was a real advantage. Peter, our driver-guide, was excellent—engaging, informative and very customer-focused. He also spotted koalas for us in their natural habitat. Despite cloudy weather and no real sunset, it was still a very fulfilling day. Pickup communication could have been clearer, and the minivan ride was bumpy. Keep in mind with sunset, built into the tour, return is late, we came back at around 9:45 PM .

Operator response

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience! 😊 We’re really glad you enjoyed the later start and had such a good day with Peter. It sounds like he kept things interesting throughout, and spotting koalas in the wild was a pretty great bonus! 🐨 The clouds may not have delivered the sunset you were hoping for, but it’s lovely to hear the day was still a fulfilling one. The Great Ocean Road has plenty to offer even when the sky doesn’t quite play along. 🌅 We also appreciate your feedback about the pickup communication and the bumpy ride. We’re always looking for ways to make the overall experience better, so if there was anything else we could have done to turn your 4-star experience into a 5-star one, we’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts. Thanks again for joining us and for the honest feedback! 💛

Awesome Aussie Tour

This tour was definitely a highlight of my Australia 3-city trip from the US. I was a bit hesitant about committing a full day but we saw so many amazing sights along the coast and even spotted some koalas and kangaroos in the wild. Budgie was an awesome tour guide and was quick to offer to take photos and even showed me how to take better pictures using the features of my phone that I didn’t know about. He was knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this tour.

Operator response

Thanks so much for the fantastic review! 😊 We’re really glad you decided to give the full-day tour a go, especially when you were a little unsure about committing the whole day. It’s always lovely to hear that it ended up being one of the highlights of your trip! It’s great to hear Budgie was so helpful throughout the day, from offering to take photos to showing you a few tricks on your phone. Those little moments can make such a difference, and we’re really glad he was there to help you capture some of the day — especially with those koala and kangaroo sightings! 🐨🦘 Thanks again for choosing to explore the Great Ocean Road with us. We’re so happy it became a memorable part of your Australian adventure! 🌅💛

Great Ocean Drive with the Great Robbo

The tour was excellent and more so because of our guide and driver, Robbo. He knew the lookouts for Koalas, and best sights on the Ocean drive and 12 Apostles. He had a great knowledge of the history of the land, sights, animals and vegetation and shared all that with a lovely dose of humor. Besides all this, Robbo has a great music list. Overall a perfect trip.

Highly Recommend Robbo

We had such a great time on the Great Ocean Road tour with Robbo! He was super friendly, funny, and genuinely made the long day so enjoyable. He shared so much interesting information along the way without ever making it feel like we were sitting through a history lesson. You can tell he really knows the area and enjoys what he does. The entire day was really well organized and we never felt rushed at any of the stops. Robbo also gave us great tips on where to go for the best views and photos, which was definitely appreciated! Seeing the Twelve Apostles at sunset was such a beautiful way to end the day.

Operator response

Thanks so much for the fantastic review! 😊 We’re really glad you had such a great day out with Robbo. It sounds like he found the right balance between sharing all his local knowledge and keeping things fun along the way — definitely much better than feeling like you’ve accidentally signed up for a full-day history class! 😂 And we love that his tips helped you make the most of the stops and find those great photo spots. Finishing the day with the Twelve Apostles at sunset is a pretty special way to wrap things up too. 🌅 Thanks again for joining us, and we’re so glad Robbo helped make such a long day feel like it flew by! 😊

Jaimes The Best Tour Guide Ever

I booked this tour literally almost last minute. Jaimes was an excellent guide and safe driver especially through the rain. Jaimes went above and beyond to make sure our group got every bit of our money's worth on this tour. The breath-taking views were unforgettable. Far and above one of the most gorgeous sunsets I've had the pleasure of witnessing. God bless you Jaimes! You rule dude!!👊

Operator response

Thanks so much for the fantastic review! 😊 We’re really glad you decided to join us at the last minute and that Jaimes helped make the day such a memorable one. Driving the Great Ocean Road in the rain certainly keeps things interesting, so we’re especially happy to hear you felt safe and well looked after along the way. It sounds like Jaimes brought plenty of energy and humour to the day too — and we love that he went above and beyond to make sure you got the most out of the experience. And that sunset sounds like it was the real showstopper! 🌅 The Great Ocean Road can put on some pretty spectacular evenings, and we’re so glad you got to witness one of them. Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to see you on another adventure with us someday! 😊

Grand Ocean Road

Pickup was easy, a short walk. We found this an easy way to take a road trip without hiring a car. Beware thougth, I reckon 90% of this is sitting on the coach - regretted not taking earphones. The coach was comfortable with plenty of stops for coffee, toilet and something to eat along the way. It wasnt the best day for weather but fine. Jai our driver and guide was excellent making a point to try and remember everyones name (and there was 10 of us!) he was informative, jovial and above all cared what we all have a great day. As the last on the coach he actually dropped us at our apartment. Worth if if you want to see the Great Ocean Road and surrounding country but be prepared for a long drive - around 300km.

Operator response

Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! We’re glad you found the Great Ocean Road Sunset Tour an easy way to explore without having to hire a car — especially with a few good stops along the way for coffee, food and bathroom breaks. And we have to give Jai some credit for remembering everyone’s names! Ten people is no small feat. 😄 It’s lovely to hear that he kept the mood light, shared plenty of information and, most importantly, made an effort to make sure everyone was having a good day. Dropping you back at your apartment at the end was a pretty nice way to finish things off too! You’re absolutely right that there’s a fair amount of time on the coach — the Great Ocean Road is a long way from Melbourne — so your tip about bringing earphones is a good one for future travellers. 😂 Sorry the weather wasn’t quite on our side, but we’re happy it didn’t stop you from enjoying the day. Thanks again for sharing such an honest review, and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Melbourne! 🌊😊
