Khalid was an excellent tour guide and driver. Took us to all the right spots and gave advice on the best views. Provided detailed description of the Ocean Rd history and other highlights such as the 12 apostles and Loch Ard gorge. He even lent his own camera when my camera ran out of memory and battery. E-mailed me the... More

My son and I took your Great Ocean Road tour on April 21st and had a dreadful experience. In fact, we grabbed the opportunity to return to the city when our bus experienced mechanical difficulties and a new bus arrived. The bus driver, Peter, was extremely rude when we arrived back to the bus two minutes late (as I needed... More

Very personalized, excellent driver, comfortable vehicle... We had the best day on the great ocean road and will never forget this great experience! If you want to be far from the big group companies and see all the nice authentic places, this tour is perfect, I really recommend it! More

A really fabulous day tour on a small coach with an exceptionally good driver/guide who was very knowledgeable, charming and helpful. There was lots of stops and time to take pictures which was very good as it was a long ride. More

Peter was a fantastic tour guide and told us a great deal of history facts on the long ride to the ocean road, which made it much more interesting. This is a long ride in a van, so just be prepared for that. We did the early return great ocean road day trip and were overall pleased with Peter and... More

Khaled, our driver explained the history of this great road and stopped at some interesting and beautiful scenery. We had enough time, to walk along enjoying the wonderful scenery and to take some photos to remember the places. We also liked the walk through the rain forest which was part of our tour. More

We recently booked a day tour to the Great Ocean Road with Melbourne's Best Day Tours. Everyone who visits Melbourne should do this tour. We enjoyed great service from the receptionist to the helpful tour guide on the day. The bus was not the most modern but this was more that made up for by the good service throughout the... More

We did both these tours with Melbourne's Best day Tours, and they really were the best. Great Ocean Road Tour was on a small coach (19 seater). This tour was excellent and stopped more often than the larger coaches for photos as being smaller it could pull over in more places. The comentary was very fitting, the driver lots of... More

Driver drove toooooo fast. Dangerously fast for hours and hours down hair pin windy roads. There was no consideration for the passengers safety. Honestly didn't think we'd make it back alive. Bus tour... basically it was a bus ride. and not pleasant at that. The coach is a stick shift.. so not a smooth ride. Second the over head compartment... More

Thank you for bringing your dissatisfaction with our company to my attention. The driver concerned has been working with us for many years now and based on past performance and client response your complaint depicts a picture which is out of character. The driver logbook for the day shows the tour was conducted in the normal time frame with no... More

The bus driver was arrogant and derogatory about Australian speed limits. He nearly killed us on the return journey by accelerating at 100K towards a truck which was turning right. He seemed to notice this at the last moment and narrowly missed it by swerving away from it. He received a call from the office after this incident so we... More

We take any complaint very seriously especially concerning the safety and comfort of our guests. We would very much appreciate if we could get some more details about this matter. Once we have received information under what name and when you travelled we can then follow up and talk to the driver concerned. We would appreciate hearing from you soon... More
