Great Ocean Road Reverse Tour

Da non perdere Bellissima esperienza con Joel! Ci ha condotto alla scoperta di tane meraviglie. Quello che ci ha colpito di più è stata la gentilezza e la simpatia di Joel. Abbiamo amato i 12 apostoli e la great ocean road con le sue viste mozzafiato! Consiglio a tutti!

Excellent Great Ocean Road Tour with Joel ! Joel was an excellent driver and tour guide. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip enjoyable. We felt safe throughout the journey, and his explanations were interesting and informative. Thank you, Joel, for making our Great Ocean Road tour such a wonderful experience!

Good trip！ Anthony was an excellent guide! Friendly, knowledgeable, and well organized. He explained the history and highlights of each stop clearly and made the whole Great Ocean Road trip enjoyable and memorable. Thank you for a fantastic day. Highly recommend!

Well worth a visit The Penguin Parade at Phillip Island was a wonderful experience and one we would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Melbourne. Watching the little penguins emerge from the ocean at sunset and make their way across the beach to their burrows was something we’ll remember for a long time. The whole experience is very well organised, with excellent viewing areas and knowledgeable staff helping visitors appreciate the importance of protecting this unique wildlife. One piece of advice for anyone booking tickets: we chose the VIP Underground Viewing experience, but in hindsight we don’t feel it offered enough extra value over the Premier Viewing tickets. The Premier option provides an excellent view, and we think it offers the best balance of experience and value. If we visited again, we’d happily choose Premier Viewing. Overall, this was a fantastic wildlife experience and a real highlight of our time in Victoria. It’s a must-do if you’re travelling to Melbourne or the surrounding area.

Amazing day We enjoyed a great day visiting the Great Ocean Road with our guide Joel; excellent service.

Great tour (Great Ocean Road in reverse) made excellent by super guide! We booked the Reverse Great Ocean Road tour at the last minute due to changes in the weather forecast. Really glad we did! The tour itself was great, from pick-up, to site visits, to easy drop-off at the end of a long day! We really lucked out with the weather and got to see so many more sights than we would have otherwise if we'd gone alone. There was a lot of ground to cover, with the "Twelve" Apostles being the clear highlight of the tour. We did great on time and even managed a few bonus stops which included a Koala sighting and a whole group of Kangaroos! The star of the show was honestly our guide, Ilkay. I have no idea how he maintained such great energy throughout what must have been an incredibly long day for him (bearing in mind he was driving AND guiding, and we were his first pick-ups at 7am, and last drop-offs around 8pm). His explanations were brilliant, both in content and delivery, and his enthusiasm really kept our group engaged. Couldn't have asked for a better guide!

very amazing！！ 5 Stars | Amazing Great Ocean Road tour with guide Joe from Autopia Tours We had an absolutely perfect day exploring the Great Ocean Road with Joe as our tour guide, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Joe clearly has a deep passion for sharing the beauty of Australia’s coastline, just like he wrote on his card—you can truly feel how much he loves showing visitors around this stunning land. His driving is extremely steady on all the winding coastal bends, giving our whole group complete safety and comfort throughout the trip. He knows every hidden gem and optimal photography spot: he took us to the best viewpoints for the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge, and even slowed down repeatedly to help us spot wild koalas and kangaroos along the forest roads. Joe shared vivid stories about local shipwreck history, coastal geology and small-town Aussie culture without rushing our schedule. He took thoughtful group photos for all of us, recommended authentic local fish and chips, and was always quick to answer every question we raised. There was zero pushy shopping or rushed stops, the whole day felt relaxed and well-paced. What impressed us most was how genuine and approachable Joe is. He told us we could reach out to him for any travel advice even after the tour, which shows how much he cares about every guest’s travel experience. If you’re booking a small-group Great Ocean Road tour from Melbourne, choose Autopia Tours and ask for Joe—you won’t regret it!

Incredible, thank you Kiwi! Could not recommend this day tour enough! The hot springs blew us away, truly dissolved our every physical & mental tension, and we walked out feeling more refreshed, calm and tranquil than we ever have. Our tour guide Kiwi was an absolutely lovely guy to guide us, keeping us entertained with his unending knowledge and conversation all about the locations we were visiting and their history. He was so kind, bubbly and attentive to everyone on board, and felt like more of a friend than a guide! We finished up our trip with a quick stop to some stunning views and a beautiful bayside walk, and even were treated to some relaxing music on the way home as we had the opportunity to dose off to sleep. This tour is an absolute must-do if you’re visiting Victoria 💗

Trip to 12 Apostles My trip from Melbourne to the 12 Apostles was fantastic. Joel aka Marlin, our driver, tour guide is a wonderful man. He shares lots of interesting personal stories and facts. Thankyou Joel ^^

amazing time with kiwi I attended the Great Ocean Road tour with Kiwi today, and it has to be one of the most informative, fun, and enjoyable tours I have ever been on. Kiwi was an absolute pleasure to have as our tour guide. As someone who also works as a guide at an attraction, I gained so much inspiration from him. His passion, knowledge, and ability to connect with guests reminded me of the kind of experience I hope to create for my own visitors. He shared so much history, culture, and fascinating facts that we left feeling truly amazed and enriched by the experience. The journey was long, but it never once felt boring or dull. Kiwi did an incredible job keeping everyone entertained and engaged with his humour, storytelling, fun facts, and jokes throughout the day. His enthusiasm was infectious, and he made every moment enjoyable. I would highly recommend Kiwi to anyone looking for a tour filled with fun, learning, and unforgettable memories. (And he makes great sandwiches too!) Thank you, Kiwi, for all the time, effort, and energy you put into giving our family such a memorable experience during our holiday. It is a tour we will be talking about for a long time to come.

Fantastic Philip Island Daytrip! We had a wonderful day trip to Phillip Island, including visits to the Koala Reserve and the famous Penguin Parade. The entire experience was well-organised, enjoyable, and perfect for visitors wanting to experience some of Victoria’s unique wildlife. A special thank you to our tour guide, Anthony, who was friendly, warm, and incredibly accommodating throughout the trip. He shared interesting information along the way, made everyone feel welcome, and was always happy to answer questions. Anthony also gave excellent recommendations on how to make the most of the Penguin Parade experience, His tips really enhanced the experience and helped make the evening unforgettable.

Really good tour of the Great Ocean Road! Really good tour with a lot of stops and activities included. Our guide Anthony explained much about the history and the wildlife of the Great Ocean Road which was very interesting. Even got to see Koalas and Kangaroos!

He took a great care of us, provided excellent guidance, little fun stories and amazing assistance throughout the the trip, We took the Great ocean road one day trip And the journey was really comfortable, exciting and peaceful. Really enjoyed every bit of it. Highly recommended!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolute Highlight of My Melbourne Trip! This tour completely exceeded my expectations! The itinerary was perfectly balanced—we managed to see so many incredible attractions along the Great Ocean Road, but it never felt rushed. There was always sufficient time to explore each spot and squeeze in some pit stops during the drive. A massive shoutout to our guide, Chris (aka Kiwi)! He was absolutely fantastic all day long—incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and kept everyone entertained and comfortable from start to finish. I’ll definitely be booking another tour with Autopia Tours the next time I'm back in Melbourne. Highly, highly recommend!

Recommend the Great Ocean Road day tour! Had an absolutely incredible trip to the Great Ocean Road with Kiwi!! He was very informative, kind and friendly. I really recommend this tour as it takes you to 3+ places such as the rainforest and the Apostles. 🙂

Must do tour! Absolutely incredible experience visiting the Twelve Apostles. The entire day felt like something out of a movie — dramatic coastline, massive cliffs, and views that honestly don’t look real in person. Every stop along the route was beautiful, but seeing the Apostles at sunset was unforgettable. The tour itself was very well organized, comfortable, and paced perfectly. Our guide, Anthony was knowledgeable and gave great background on the history and geography of the area without overdoing it. I also appreciated having enough time at each stop to actually take it in instead of feeling rushed

A Must Do in Melbourne Absolutely stunning Great Ocean Road experience! 🌊✨ The Twelve Apostles and Razorback were breathtaking—photos don’t do them justice. Big thanks to our guide Joel for making the journey fun and informative. Highly recommended!

Ocean Road Tour - would recommend Lovely full day (reverse tour) including 12 Apostles, Lock Ard, Ottaway National Park (with a stop off to walk through the rainforest), Apollo Bay and the Great Ocean Road Memorial. The reverse tour worked well for us and none of the places were too busy. Small group (around 16 people), with great live guide during the drive. Lots of freedom at the stop off points, didn’t feel too rushed at all. Managed to see koala’s AND kangaroo’s in the wild! Simple sandwich, fruit, tea and coffee for lunch (with option for dietary requirements) and Tim-tams! The Ocean Road Tour is beautiful and definitely a must do, this tour was great value for money and did everything we needed. Would recommend. Thank you Anthony and group!!

Breathtaking experience of the 12 Apostles. Fantastic trip on the Great Ocean Road, experienced many stops along the way and witnessed the twelve apostles. Absolutely breathtaking. I am an Australian and I have wanted to experience this at some point in my life. It was so good to be a passenger and enjoy the scenery. The tour guide Kiwi was amazing. He showed us special sites and shared interesting information during the tour. A wonderful experience.

1 star for Craig This trip is so much fun, met an amazing group of people from all different age groups. Our guide, Mr bones/Craig, was a well traveled and well read men, who knew a lot about Australia, wild life, culture and nature. But also knew a a lot about the world. Funny man as well. The take you trough the highlights of the Great Ocean Road and the Grampians national park. With some decently challenging hikes, amazing views and good food. We spotted 20 koala's, 100's of western and eastern grey kangaroo's, swamp and redneck walibi's, an echidna and tons of birds. Would recommend this to everyone who is solo traveling, or doesn't want to rent a car.

Great Ocean road reverse with lunch. This was a superb day with Anthony (Ant-man) as guide and driver. As advertised and more. Pick up, drive, coffee in Colac, shipwreck coast, 12 apostles, etc. Lunch and temeperate rainforest at Annes Cascade. On the way we saw Koalas, wallaby and lots of Kangaroos, Gallahs and Cockatoos etc etc. Lots of very informative info provided as went along and at the various stops for refreshments and comfort. Superb day. Thank you.

Highly recommended Great Ocean Road Reverse Tour was fantastic, our tour guide Anthony showed us the iconic sights and took the time to point out the wildlife along the way including koalas, kangaroos and birds, cool fact he can imitate a variety of bird calls! Tour was thoroughly enjoyable, well worth the time and price.
