Melvin was wonderful. So friendly and informative. Relaxing drive too. About of information. And also quiet time with music. As far as the value- cannot beat it. 12 stops and a 12 hour tour. The price is insanely good. Coffee stop in the morning was great. The row of restaurants were also good, it was hard to choose from. He took us to see koalas and kangaroos. That’s was surreal I would recommend him to everyone! You’d be lucky to have him as your driver. Truly, the highlight of my trip. Mahalo Melvin for an amazing, memorable day.

We travel along this scenic road
The lighthouse was constructed in 1891. For 27 years, three lighthouse keepers worked at this remote location, ensuring the light was operating well and communicating with ships via a number of code systems. The lighthouse still has its original construction with a wonderful staircase and timber fittings. The lantern still operates having had more than three different light sources over its history. The tower was converted to automatic operation in 1919. The keepers' cottages and stables form an intrinsic part of the lighthouse precinct.
Learn more about the history of the road build and an opportunity to take memorable photos.
Probably the most scenic spot on this tour, a must for views across the Ocean, Great Ocean Road and Lorne Beach
We will stop here and enjoy lunch of your choice. I always recommend the fresh Fish and Chips which every visitor has loved.
This rainforest walk will mesmerise you with giant Mountain Ash and Fern trees if you love nature. Along the trail, you will learn about the history and conservation of this forest.
Another natural treasure just next to twelve Apostles
This is the most popular destination in Victoria and a must see
Here the scenery changes to dense tall blue gum trees and if you are lucky you will spot the koalas in the trees.
The Razorback features an astonishing artistic form of nature never been seen before. The Razorback's breathtaking views make this trip memorable.

Great experience with Peter as our guide. Pick up was seamless. Long trip 12h in total but well worth the sights. Got to see tons of nature, some kangaroos and koalas in the wild. The tour group side of 9 of us was perfect. We had sufficient time to take pics with each site. Highly recommend.
I really recommend Grest ocean road and luxury tour while you are visiting Melbourne. Out guide Peter was fantastic and clearly has had a lot of experience
Fantastic day out. Peter was a brilliant guide! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and he took us to some gorgeous spots beyond the usual lookouts. The reverse itinerary meant we avoided the crowds almost entirely, which made a huge difference. Koalas and kangaroos in the wild, and ice cream at the chocolate factory to finish. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.
We had an absolutely fantastic day with our tour guide, Peter! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. The timing at each stop was perfect, so we never felt rushed or like we were waiting around. Peter also shared lots of interesting stories and background about each place we visited, along with some fun and fascinating facts about Australia. As first-time visitors to Australia, we really appreciated how much he helped us learn about the country while making the day fun and relaxing. Peter truly made our trip special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended!
Peter was an excellent driver and great guide the whole day. Lots of stops and beautiful sites.
It was such a fun day! We managed to avoid the crowds, enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the Great Ocean Road, and even saw wild koalas and kangaroos. We also got to see a full rainbow, which made the day even more special. Our guide, Peter, was absolutely fantastic. It was truly a perfect day!
Our tour with Peter was amazing. We got to hit everything we asked him for and more. He was so patient and willing to accommodate anything we asked for and is also just a great person to talk to during the driving portions. He is very knowledgeable about the area and Australia in general and we learned so much from him. The Tour was structured so well that there was never too much time between stops and such beautiful scenery and wildlife to see. I could not recommend this tour higher!
Peter, our guide, was a true professional and excellent ambassador for this tour company. Friendly, well informed, and warm - really was the highlight of my trip. He even took us to see koalas and kangaroos in locations we saw no other tour groups. A+. Kudos!
Lovely experience! Peter was a fabulous guide. He managed to get the right mix of informative, helpful and fun while also giving some space to just enjoy things at one’s own pace. The koalas and kangaroos were an unexpected highlight and all the stops, views and background story, history and facts were much appreciated. Thanks Peter!
Great views!!!! Ideal if you want to see outside the city.
We had a great day today with our tour guide Peter, it was informative and interesting , would definitely do another one again. Jo & Gi
The trip is customizable, but to get the best experience, be prepared to do a little bit of walking. Our driver, Paul, was incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable. The Mercedes van was very clean & comfortable as well. Highly recommend.
Peter our driver and guide was knowledgeable, kind and a very conscientious and considerate driver! We feel fortunate to have chosen this tour, we were able to see so much natural beauty all in one day! We appreciated the smaller group format. Thanks Peter for making our day so special!
Peter is an exceptional guide, knew the best spots to walk and see koalas with no one else around.
Peter was great and took us to great spots through the day. Everything was well planned and we even stopped to see Kangaroos and Koalas.
We enjoyed a wonderful tour with our guide, Peter. With an 11 hour tour & 2 teenage children, it could have been a tricky day, but we were all thoroughly entertained, saw so many great things and even learnt lots from Peter. If you book only 1 day trip from Melbourne, make it this one
It was a wonderful day. First of all, our guide Peter communicated with me the evening before and the morning of, so there were no questions about connecting with him for the day. He picked us up in a nice, clean, comfortable luxury van at the appointed time. He managed the day perfectly, avoiding the crush of crowds at the major sites. The Ocean Road is an amazing drive filled with awe inspiring views and overlooks. He also took us to a beautiful rain forest gully. He found a wonderful lunch spot for us, and he helped us find koalas in the wild and kangaroos! His knowledge of Australia, the road and the region added greatly to our day. It was a full day of amazing experiences. We highly recommend!
Great trip, good way to spend a day
If I could have rated this experience 10 Stars I would have! Peter was our tour guide and driver for the day. He was incredibly knowledgeable. Any question we asked he knew the answer to and gave us a full background of the history of Melbourne and The local fauna Flora and attractions. He is extremely personable and easy to talk to. He's a careful, safe driver and made excellent restaurant recommendations for when we were in Apollo Bay. This was an incredible experience as it was just the four of us. Much more personalized than a giant tour bus full of people. Highly recommended!
Great experience, the scenery along the way is beautiful, the sky is blue, and the sea is spectacular
We really enjoyed this trip. Our guide, Peter, was amazing! So kind and informative
This was a great way to explore part of Australia (that we probably wouldn’t have been able to do on our own). It’s a long day - about 12 hours from start to finish. However, it was well-paced. Peter was a great guide and his music playlist was great. One small note - there are two guest seats near the front of the vehicle that are lovely. The rest of the seats are average. I was in the back with one leg jammed up on the wheel base. Other than that, a lovely day out.
Comfortable luxury coach traveling with around 10 -12 stops including 12 Apostles, 2 shipwreck sites, several ocean view stops and narration about Australian history. Also saw and photographed koalas and kangaroos up close. Highly recommended!!
This tour was super awesome to do privately as we were on a cruise ship. Our driver was very flexible and made it a great day. The sights were incredible but maybe bring some bug spray as the flies are intense.
We had the best time on our tour with Melvin. He picked us up on time, had a clean and comfortable van, and kept us entertained during the drive out to the Great Ocean Road. We appreciated that he adjusted his plan to accommodate the preferences of our group (our kids wanted to explore tidal pools on a beach over going to the chocolate factory) and he made sure that we arrived at the various locations during periods of low crowds and plenty of parking. This was such a great way to experience the Great Ocean Road…looking out the window, not almost getting into accidents, learning about Australia from a fascinating tour guide, and receiving expert tips for the rest of our Australian adventure.
Great solution to big group bus tour. We were able to see great spots without a huge group. Great tour.
Our driver was kind and knowledgeable. This is such an incredible location, I feel like I have the best photos because our driver knew the best locations! He spotted wild koalas in the trees and pulled over for us to see them and get great pics.
Having booked & paid in advance for this 'luxury tour', the driver didn't show up, the phone numbers didn't work and the emails were not answered. We have nothing else arranged for our last day in Melbourne and it's now too late to book another trip with anyone else. Our family of four have travelled 10,000 miles from London and will not have the opportunity to experience what should have been the highlight of our holiday before having to return home. After our frustrating & unsuccessfuly attempts to contact the 'Awesome Leisure Group', we resorted to requesting a refund via TripAdvisor. We have now, several hours later, received notification that we will get a refund, but anyone wanting to do this trip should learn from our experience and choose from one of the many other providers offering a similar itinerary.
Peter is an excellent tour guide for the Great Ocean Road. He ensured a punctual pick-up right at the hotel entrance and demonstrated a strong knowledge of Melbourne’s history throughout the journey. His explanations were engaging, especially his interesting descriptions of local animals such as Friesian cows, Jersey cows, camels, and rabbits. The tour included memorable koala and kangaroo sightings, and Peter’s deep knowledge of the Great Ocean Road added great value to the experience. He was consistently polite, friendly, and accommodating, making the tour both informative and enjoyable.
Amazing experience and amazing guide ! Mike made our private tour unforgettable: he drove us all day on the great ocean road. He knows the area by heart and knows all the tricks to avoid as much as possible the crowd and he always had anecdotes or informations to share about the place we were visiting. We strongly recommend !
We had a great day on the Great Ocean Road with Peter as our guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and well-paced. Peter was also very attentive to our preferences and adjusted the itinerary to suit what we wanted to see most, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a smooth, enjoyable, and memorable trip thanks to his professionalism and easygoing nature. Highly recommend touring with him if you get the chance!
Our guide Peter made this tour truly exceptional. He was knowledgeable and engaging. The itinerary was well-planned. Peter shared fascinating historical facts and local insights. The transportation was comfortable, and pickup/drop-off was punctual.
Fantastic day. Peter was a terrific tour guide very friendly and provided great insights into the landmarks and history
Nice wholesome Marvin was very nice really accomodating and knowledgeable did about 10 hours, stopped along the way for snacks and chocolate factory
The trip with Peter was excellent. He was attentive to our needs and provided a lot of interesting information. The comfortable and clean bus also contributed to a perfect experience
Peter our guide was amazing and hit all the hot spots - knew his history well- took plenty of pics for us - and we ended with seeing koalas and a group of kangaroos on a golf course running around - and of course a great ice cream store at the end
It was a great 1 day tour for a limited time I spent here. It was a long trip but all worth it. The places that we stopped that was included in this tour and had some extra places we visited to maximize our trip.
It was a beautiful experience was very informative. Talk to a lot about the history of the road. We get to see koalas and kangaroos, which was nice. We took a little extra trip through the rain for us a walk and that was beautiful. A little towns were sweet that was stopped in. It’s a once in a lifetime visit around the south end of Australia highly recommend it.
Peter is our tour guide, very calm, accommodating and knowledgeable gentleman. Enjoyable. We have covered a lot of places of interests not even in the itinerary
Would highly recommend this trips. Views amazing. Peter our driver was exceptional and aware of all his passengers needs.
Great seaside view on Great Ocean Road. Leisure but colorful. Relax but time efficient. The guide is nice and talkative. Deserve recommendations.
We had the best guide ever called ANGE he was awesome lots of great information. Very relaxed experience. We enjoyed the whole day and it met all our expectations on our first ever trip to Australia from the UK.
We went in reverse great ocean tour. Peter, our driver and guide was very kind, informative and helpful. Enjoyed our tour and came back relaxed inspite of full day tour. Thank u ALG and special thanks to Peter
The tour is great. Peter is a perfect driver! The vehicle is very comfortable. Would definitely recommend this company.
Did the Great Ocean Drive with Uli and it was absolutely outstanding. He was super flexible, fun, and tailored the trip perfectly for me as a solo traveler. Every stop felt special, and his energy made the whole experience unforgettable. Truly the best day I’ve had in Australia. Thanks, Luis (Uli’s the real name—inside joke 🙂)
Amazing tour. You cannot miss this one if you are visiting Melbourne. The scenery is incredible, with the ocean road and rock formations being particularly impressive. Seeing koalas and kangaroos in the wild was the most unique experience. All accompanied by the knowledgeable descriptions of Peter, who was the perfect guide.
