    I wanted to do a complete Great Ocean Road trip without skipping any attractions and I got nothing less. Walter, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and helped us have a great time giving us plenty of time to enjoy and keep us on schedule. He was always courteous. We even made a few stops that wasn't on the official itinerary. The van was comfortable and drive was smooth. The YHA accomodation was decent for a night stay. Recommend to anyone who wants Great Ocean Road checked off the list without regrets.

    Our guide Walter was fun to travel with. They took us to multiple places on the Great Ocean Road. They give you sufficient time to explore each location and take the full experience. Overnight accommodation offered was neat/tidy and enjoyable for 1 night.

    Absolutely fantastic 2 days trip to the Great ocean road with Mr. Walter (Tour guide). He was very professional, knowledgeable, flexible and perfect with the timing & driving. Since its COVID times, we were just 4 people in the mini bus that can accommodate 11 passengers, so it did feel like a private tour. He took the time to share info, recommendations in each and every stop. Thanks again Mr. Walter and hope to see you again next time! Highly recommended!

    Perfect trip to the Phillip Island Penguin Parade. Since it is still in the Covid, there was insufficient number of passengers in the mini bus, which is more like a private tour. Walter is a very professional and enthusiastic guide and driver. He patiently introduced and recommended place and food which is worthy to try for every stop. Hope next time we can see Walter again.
