The road trip was smooth and beautiful. I got to see a koala on the tree beside the road too! The sunset at the 12 apostles was phenomenally gorgeous. David the driver was so kind and accommodating throughout the trip. I enjoyed listening to him narrating a history of the road.

Wonderful tour and our guide Kiwi was just GREAT !
Trip was very good with lots of things to see. Bob was a very entertaining host.
Bob was a very nice guide, I had a wonderful time totally worth it.
Amazing experience. Our guide, Chris W, was super friendly and kind. Thank you!
An unforgettable full-day adventure along the Great Ocean Road. Our guides Bill and Jaime kept the long drive engaging with great commentary and perfectly timed stops. The Twelve Apostles at golden hour were simply spectacular, and Loch Ard Gorge's dramatic cliffs and history were a close second. We loved the rainforest walk at Maits Rest and spotting koalas in the wild. The tour was well organised, comfortable, and never felt rushed. A must-do for any Melbourne visit. We'd do it again in a heartbeat. Book early — they sell out fast.
I loved the route and the charisma of our guide James and Bill (the driver). They were super friendly and attentive to our every need.
Jaimes and bill were both absolutely fantastic! We had the best day! They were both so informative and approachable for the whole trip! We will be recommending this tour to our friends and family! Thank you! 😊
A very interesting travel experience, with a guide who was extremely warm and friendly.
Chris W service was excellent, very caring and accommodative Making everyone enjoying the trip, relaxed and chilled. A memorable tour experience with Chris W around
David is the most amazing tour guide we’ve ever met! He is very nice and knowledgeable, got the patience to deal with everyone’s problems during a-long-day trip. He really saved us from the upsets of what these endless rainy days brought to us. We will definitely recommend David to every friend traveling the Great Ocean Road! Thanks!
Nice trip and nice guide. Wonderful view. Kevin is very patient and quite acknowledged. I learned many things I didn’t know.
I joined the Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles day tour with Go West yesterday, and I highly recommend it! A special shout-out to our guide, Lucy—her enthusiasm and insightful commentary kept everyone engaged and happy throughout the journey. Thank you so much for taking us to spot wild koalas! She also thoughtfully scheduled rest breaks and made sure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of. We were so lucky to have her! If you are visiting Melbourne, this tour is an absolute must-do!
Absolutely amazing experience with Bob our driver and guide ensuring we had a great experience…giving us those extra 5-10 minutes without rushing us…He did make those extra stops to show us the kangaroos and wallabies
Dave was the best guide. He was kind and made sure that everybody was having a good time. He made multiple stops for us along the way. He even stopped so we could spot koalas in the wild. Highly recommend taking his tour!
The experience was marvellous from the pick-up area till dropped off. To summarise, the tour was pretty awesome and was amazing but couldn’t be that good without our tour guide Sophia, she’s so positive and highly friendly, she made the experience unforgettable and extra ordinary. The energy she brought to the table was extra special. She got so many stories to tell and the positivity was contagious. The group was fun to be with and I met some new people from different background. I loved how engaging Sophia with the group and even help us out with photo taking especially for a solo traveller like me. The recommendation of the foods and restaurants was genuine. There is no dull moment in our trip except the time when we are heading back to CBD coz everyone were knackered. Highly recommended this trip and the tour guide, she’s had the biggest part why this trip was amazing. I reckon 5 star ⭐️ is not enough to justify the service they did. PS. I loved the free chocolate and Muffins
Jono was a great hide, we had a fantastic day!
Bob was a fantastic tour guide for the sunset tour of the 12 apostles! He was positive, kind, and looked out for every member of the tour. He shared great facts, stories, and memories with the group. I highly recommend Go West with Bob!
BOB is amazing! Very knowledgeable and hilarious! Made the trip go with a breeze!
Bob was an AMAZING guide. Cared so much about our safety but made sure we had an amazing time. Could not recommend more
Our guide Bob was incredible. So knowledgeable and funny. He went above and beyond to give us a wonderful experience.
It was amazing experience. Our guide was Bob.He was kind and easy to talk. The weather was not good unfortunately but still nice experience. I will come with my parents from Japan next time. Thank you for all your support.
We were guided by our lovely Jono who made our experience absolutely unforgettable! Loved the trip more with his enthusiasm and great knowledge. He even managed to get us to see some koalas which was so nice of him.Get him a raise as he even provided us with swat cakes and teas/coffees. Had a great time, the weather was a bit bipolar but we managed and had fun anyways so all good!
great experience that make a lovely day.
David N was an absolute amazing tour guide - nothing was too much, he was so knowledgeable, passionate and genuinely proud to share Australia with us. I attended solo and he also went out of his way to make sure I felt comfortable, got all the pictures and even dropped me back to my hotel. Thank you so much, once in a lifetime trip.
It was such an amazing experience! The views and landscapes were absolutely breathtaking. I’m very grateful to our guide, Bob — he was incredibly professional, full of humor, shared so much interesting information and brought such great energy and passion to his work. I was also truly impressed by the fern forest. Love it!
Sophia is our guide, and she has done fantastic job and I had a great journey with her . Great job she has done. Enjoyed it.
Angel is a very good tour guide. We have a great time.
Tour guide Angel is amazing! Bringing up the vibe and introduced so well!
Fantastic the highlight was Sophia (Angel). She is s legend.
We had a wonderful time. Superb scenic views...12 apostles were fantastic.
Wonderful day. Lucy was a terrific driver, guide, time keeper and host! She made the long bus ride enjoyable and the end result of a fabulous sunset at 12 Apostles was magnificent. We had bilingual guests and a very diverse group of 20 - Lucy juggled all the challenges of that with grace, humour and fun.
20 years ago, we attempted to drive out to the 12 Apostles with our then 18 month old daughter. We got halfway, at best, due to the twists and turns of the Great Ocean Road. So, my wife and I decided this time that we'd take a guided tour and well, we were so impressed and happy that we chose this route. Our guide, Bob, was the nicest and friendliest gentlemen to spend the day with in the coach. He knew all of the sites and stops along the way, found key spots to take great photos, see nature in all of it's beauty, and at the same time, we could tell that he enjoyed every bit of the time spent with us and the other coachmates. The coach itself was comfortable, seat wise, the food choices at the lunch and dinner spots were plentiful, and everyone got excited near the end of the trip when we came upon a field with some 18-20 kangaroos to be seen, a exclamation point to a great day out! Highly recommend booking with them, and if possible, ask for Bob to be the guide!
wonderful day ...well spent... looking forward to more trips.. cheers 🥂
Bob is an excellent Tour guide, goes out of the way to make your tour most worthy and comfortable. He takes extra efforts to accompany you and explain interesting insights! Hats off! Much recommneded tour!
This tour was the highlight of our Melbourne trip. Our tour guide, Bob, was one of the reason it was so special. He was sure to make our experience over the top amazing. His great personality and knowledge helped make it such a fun and informative excursion. Thank you, Bob, for everything!
We had a wonderful tour with our guide Bob. He was very knowledgeable and had interesting commentary on the sites. Very funny and a great driver. A fantastic experience!
The trip was amazing. Bob was an outstanding guide. He was engaging and humorous, making the whole tour memorable. Me and my family enjoyed it very much even though they don’t speak English.
One of the best tours of my life. It was unforgettable. The most vivid impressions and unforgettable emotions!!! Thanks to our guide Peter ♥️
We had a fun-filled day with Sophia as her knowledge of the attractions were detailed. Her jovial personality made this trip very enjoyable. I would recommend this trip for anyone visiting Melbourne.
Spectacular day. Bob was the best. Very amiable, knowledgeable, and flexible. Definitely worth it. Saw Koalas and Kangaroos.
A good tour guide makes for an unforgettable trip. Highly recommend!
We had a bus of about 25 people for our all-day adventure. It was an outstanding experience seeing sights and stops all over the southern coast of Australia.
Our tour guide Lucy was amazing, very knowledgeable of the area and made the day so fun! We got picked up at around 7am and arrived back at 9pm so a very long day but definitely worth it and would recommend! Very organised tour, and Lucy even spotted some Koala’s and Kangaroos which we got to see which was amazing!!
Highly overrated tour: there are many places around the globe with much better views. Other than that: too many people mostly from asian countries, dirty toilets in all places we stopped, overpriced basic meals. Our driver/tour guide only provided basic information.
Had the best day/evening on this tour with Jono! He really was the best guide and made the day so enjoyable. It’s a long tour but it never felt like it and we had exactly the required amount of time at each stop. Jono was very informative and fun with it! Even spotted a koala, which for us was a bucket list moment! Thank you so much Jono, you and your tour were amazing and a real highlight of our time here in Melbourne!
We had a fabulous time with our super lovely and knowledgeable tourguide Jono. He was super nice and caring. He spotted even wild koalas for us. The landscape and scenery is absolutely magical. We liked the razor back cliffs more though than the twelve apostles on this tour.
David was an excellent driver and guide. He accommodated everyone on the tour...making it a special day for everyone I highly recommend it
We did the 12 Apostles sunset tour with Bob as our driver, and it was one of the highlights of our time in Victoria. Bob struck the perfect balance between being professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. From the start, the atmosphere on the bus was relaxed and positive—comfortable driving, clear communication, and just the right amount of commentary to keep things engaging without feeling scripted. The stops along the way were very well planned and convenient, giving us enough time to enjoy each location without rushing. Seeing koalas resting in the trees and spotting kangaroos in the wild was an unexpected bonus and added a special Australian touch to the experience. The real magic, of course, was the 12 Apostles at sunset. The timing was spot on—the changing light, the colours over the ocean, and the dramatic coastline made it truly unforgettable. Bob made sure everyone knew where to go and how to make the most of the moment, which made a big difference. If you’re considering a Great Ocean Road or 12 Apostles tour, I’d highly recommend going with Bob. It felt well-organised, personal, and thoughtfully run—exactly what you want from a day tour.
Jess is a superb leader: kind and competent. Got us back at midnight safely. It’s a large minibus with plenty of head space.
