Highly recommend Jimmy! We had such a wonderful experience with Jimmy on our Great Ocean Road trip. He was incredibly friendly, patient and knowledgeable throughout the whole day. He took great care of us, shared lots of interesting information along the way, and made the entire journey feel relaxed and enjoyable. Jimmy was also very thoughtful and always made sure we had enough time to enjoy each stop and take photos. His warm personality and excellent service really made the trip special. We had an amazing day and would definitely recommend Jimmy to anyone visiting Melbourne!

A beautiful day exploring the southern coast

Our guide Ann was fantastic! Give this woman a raise. The tour was packed with wonderful sights, we saw so much but didn’t feel rushed through anything or had to wait for crowds very much at all. It was exactly the experience we were hoping for.

Great day on the Great Ocean Road

We had a Great day on the Great Ocean Road reverse trip. Our guide, Marty, was quite knowledgeable and very entertaining. He had a good sense of humor which helps on a full-day outing. We were also lucky to have gorgeous weather. I highly recommend this reverse itinerary since you start out the day with the amazing rock formations and end the day with amazing beaches. The rainforest is sandwiched in the middle. Overall, it's a wonderful way to spend a day out of Melbourne.

Amazing Great Ocean Road...

Amazing Great Ocean Road day tour! The schedule is well arranged so we skipped big tourist crowds. Our guide had very steady driving. Despite the long round trip, the journey never felt exhausting. He introduced plenty of local culture and the history behind Great Ocean Road throughout the drive. A wonderful experience!
