Amazing Journey
Two evenings in a row we took tours with Oceania. Phillips Island and The Great Ocean Road. Both were amazing. Our tour guide for Phillips Island was Gary. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour was great. The next evening we took the tour to the Great Ocean Road with Fred. This was unforgettable! Fred went out of his way to ensure we had an amazing trip. His knowledgeable of all the stops was beyond belief, his recommendation of places to eat were spot on, but his stories kept us in stitches. Truly an outstanding, caring and down to earth person. Oh yeah, the tour was also Truly amazing. Thanks Gary and Fred for such unforgettable tours.

Great Fun
Our guide, Alex, was great fun. He delivered a ton of information in a very casual manner and was very attentive to client needs. He had a few special sites so that we were able to see wild kangaroos up close and wild koalas in the treetops. Would highly recommend
