“We did a group day tour to Great Ocean RD and 12 Apostles through Tours Around Melbourne and had an absolutely great time, to a large extent thanks to our guide Bill. Bill was super clear and detailed from the start in communicating how the day would go, and gave us useful and interesting commentary throughout the day covering a vast array of topics. The day tour itself was well structured - we got to 12 Apistles with time to spare for a coffee/snack and time to get gifts before getting onto the 10:10 Helicopter tour which was nice and early, before the crowds/heat. We then drove to Apollo Bay around lunchtime, had time to grab lunch there before the Coastal tour, and then drove back to Melbourne. Water and some snacks were provided, while the van was very comfortable (including AC and USB ports). All in all, the tour took just under 12 hours, as advertised. we even Saw koalas and kangroos in wild. Thanks again to Bill for the awesome day”
“I did The Great Ocean Road tour with Tours Around Melbourne and loved it. It was so nice to be with a small group instead of those big buses with hordes of people. It made things easier to get in and out of places and took less time. Also was more fun as you got to know your fellow passengers. OUR GUIDE was a fantastic guide. He had all kinds of interesting stories and information. You could tell he really loves the area we passed through. He knew of a place off the beaten track where we actually saw koalas in the wild. It was beautiful scenery the whole way. We were lucky we had beautiful weather. Really did make a big difference. It was a very long day but so worth it. HOTEL PICK UP was a Great Start to the Day in a very modren clean Mini Bus with Charging points in it as well Totally recommend it”
