That’s amazing beautiful moments for me. Friendly and nice driver who guided me, he is really a nice and decent person, especially care about everyone. He told us let's keep to the schedule because if anyone breaks a promise, it will cause trouble for everyone. I thought that’s the right thing about a tour like this, so that’s really helpful and important. So we could come back to the city on time🙌 I’m so grateful for everything.

Vance was absolutely amazing as a tour guide/ coach driver! Gave us all amazing facts about each stop on the great ocean road, and made it so fun and enjoyable, even helping to take some pictures! A must do when in Melbourne! Amazing to do it in a day instead of spread into a 5 day trip, if you’re limited for time but do not want to miss this off, this tour is perfect.
