Fantastic sunset tour of Great Ocean Road with the multi-talented Sherif as our guide/driver…read more Long drive, but worth every minute. Sherif had much information to share about the history, geography, and wildlife of this beautiful area. Views of the ocean, cliffs, Twelve Apostlesand sunset were stunning. It was fun to see and photograph kangaroos, cockatoos, and even sleeping koalas. Sherif (a professional musician) even performed a very memorable demonstration of the didgeridoo for us. This tour also helped avoid the crowds. Thanks Sherif for a great tour!

We went on the one day Great Ocean Road tour where we started off at Bells beach, had lunch at the…read moreCape Otway lighthouse (and we climbed up the lighthouse). And I would give this tour a five star except the lunch was merely a light snack that included two small sausages, potatoes, and a salad and since it's a ~13hr tour, everyone was quite hungry by the end. Anyway, we got to see the koalas and were lucky enough to see one awake, walking and climbing a tree! We didn't get to see the kangaroos due to the season but that's out of the tour guide's control. The major highlights of our tour were the 12 Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge! The pictures don't do justice, you'll have to go there and see them for yourself! Our tour guide was AJ, he was nice and informative.

We did a full day Penguin Tour to Philip Island with Penguin Island Tours…read more The price was very reasonable for all that is included, like the conservation parks, snacks and of course the transport itself. We were picked up on time from our hotel - or you can meet at the Flinders location which some people did. We had Kurt as our driver and he was super nice. He gave us some good tips on the various places were were visiting and we felt safe with him as a driver. Some tips overall - make sure you print your voucher for faster processing and bring warmer clothes for night - even on a hot summer day in Melbourne, we froze our booties at the Philip Island Penguin Viewing. Reason for a 4 star rating is the coach itself - it was a bit small and at one point, you drive for almost 2 hours on your way back from Philip Island to Melbourne. Try to sit in the very back or very front for a little extra leg room!

I loved loved loved penguin island!…read more I booked online and boarded the coach at the pick up point on flinders street. My ticket price included return journey and a meal and drink whilst at the penguin parade. I went on a night in october and did not appreciate how cold it would get so i would advise wrapping up warm and taking some blankets whilst outside on the viewing platform. It was amazing to see the little penguins come onto the beach at night and really was an unforgettable experience. My only downpoint was the guides were constantly telling to not take pictures as this can stun the penguins but i saw loads of toursists do it. I dont understand why they would do this. Really disrepectful! The journey is long but our bus driver was fab in pointing out local landmarks on the way out and letting us sleep on the way back.

I went on the Otway Great Ocean Road Discovery Tour with my friend. While there were some beautiful…read moresights along the way, the tour guide made our experience really uncomfortable. We were a little late to come back to the bus a couple of times and he kept ridiculing us over the microphone in front of all the other tourists on the bus with us, and at one point he threatened to leave us behind. I cannot recommend this tour group. Late to the bus or not, he was our tour guide. He could have handled it in a more professional, discreet and understanding way. Instead he made the whole Great Ocean Road experience pretty miserable. I was just glad to get off the bus and get out of Melbourne altogether after that.

RED WAS THE BEST! Totally recommend going on a tour with Go West, we had an absolute blast on the…read moreExpress Penguin Tour! Red was HILARIOUS and super knowledgeable, he made the tour infinitely cooler (and yes, penguins are SUPER cool). We saw tons of penguins (heads up, no photos after sunset) and had a great stop for dinner. Pro tip is to dress SUPER warm, I'm talking puffer jackets/padding/blankets and definitely long pants cause it's freezing, even in the Summer. Hope y'all enjoy, 10/10 experience and I understand why they have five stars!

Went on the Great Ocean Road Eco-tour from Melbourne. My guide and driver was Camille, who has an…read moreamicable personality. The coach arrived at Pan Pacific punctually at 8am. I was the only Asian in the tourist group, so before I boarded the coach, she confirmed with me that I'm from Singapore and could understand English well. Throughout the journey, she introduced various landmarks and history behind them to us. She also took the initiative to take photos for us. Enough time was given for us to explore various scenic spots. Before arriving at the next destination, she also explained in detail the kind of terrain and environment to expect, so that we could self-assess, based on our individual physical fitness level, if it's suitable to participate in a certain activity. On the way, she played a wide selection of music to make the lengthy ride more enjoyable. It must be physically demanding to take care of so many tourists and driving at the same time. I'll give her five stars out of five for her exceptional professionalism.

Our walking tour with Rian was excellent. He was very personable, had a great sense of humor, and…read morea vast knowledge of the city which he delivered in an entertaining way. We had 31 tourists in our group, but it seemed smaller. He gave us time to take photos, but didn't make photos the overwhelming reason for our tour. Instead, he gave us a real sense of the city. Rian kept up our pace making sure we were all safe crossing streets. I would highly recommend this tour.

Sam gave us a lot of history and background to his city. Some points of interest visited were: - Old Melbourne Gaol, a former prison where Ned Kelly (a bushranger who was considered both a hero and a villain) was hung, and it's now part of RMIT University and a museum - Princess Theater, where a seat is always left unoccupied in honor of Frederick Federici, and the theater is supposedly haunted by his ghost - Chinatown, the oldest Chinatown in Australia and filled with cheap eats - Federation Square, a large public space great for televising live sporting events as well as for rioting - Flinders Station, the largest and busiest metro station in Melbourne - various alleyways that have cute cafés and restaurants that are prefect for bunch and lunch - street art that's legal at some alleyways
