Excellent service by Jimmy 👍🏼 The vehicle was perfectly clean. The trip was a bit tiring with a lot of touch and go. I would have liked to spend more time on the Apostles. Maybe koala sighting or rainforest walk can be eliminated… just a suggestion but overall great experience.

Amazing views. Reverse trip is the way to go as we see heavy traffic coming from the other way while our traffic is light. Jimmy the tour guide is excellent for his knowledge and control of time. Overall very satisfied.

I appreciate the reverse itinerary tour - it really helped avoid crowds. We suffered from the tour’s priorities, and so missed out on seeing animals in the wild other than one koala. I would prefer to have spent a little less time at the 12 Apostles or the rainforest walk. We were always on time ...
I appreciate the reverse itinerary tour - it really helped avoid crowds. We suffered from the tour’s priorities, and so missed out on seeing animals in the wild other than one koala. I would prefer to have spent a little less time at the 12 Apostles or the rainforest walk. We were always on time back to the coach, but due to traffic or ? We only had time for a short stop because we were ‘guaranteed’ a koala. We saw parrots out the window, but couldn’t stop to take photos, and didn’t get to see kangaroos at all. That was more important to me than earlier stops or even staying on time (or getting to the chocolate store). I did appreciate the depth of knowledge demonstrated by Neil, but I don’t think he appreciated tourists’ desire to see Australian animals. The Great Ocean Road is a long day of driving, and I was disappointed at leaving that out at the end.
