Highlighted reviews from other travelers
Kenny was a great guide and was really friendly. He brought bottled water and snacks to make sure we didn’t get hungry along the way. He also offered to take photos along the way which was really valued as a solo traveler. My only complaint would be the microphone on the bus was poor, it could do with an upgrade as was difficult to hear what the guide was saying most of the time. Overall good day ☺️
A nice day out to see the sights down the great ocean road. While it estimates about 12 hours for the duration it ended up being about 14 due to people being late back at each stop. I felt sorry for Anna desperately trying to keep everyone stick to the schedule. Also it really is a lot of time spent sitting on a coach so bear this in mind. Plenty of breaks though and there was a service station stop on the way back that broke up the 3 hours return journey
