If I were to say anything about this 3 day tour I would say, just take this one. This is the best tour which will immerse you in everything great possible. And the best part of the trip was my guide Janet. I just love her. She is so kind and informative and really takes care of yourself like family . 100/10 for this tour.

The 3 day trip was an absolute blast from start to finish! Literally did not stop laughing. We saw so much amazing stuff and really enjoyed the hikes and different sights. Jordan was such a great guide, he's super knowledgeable and fun and has the best music taste (have been listening to lots of Hamish Imlach since the tour). He took us to loads of cool places and even gave us plenty of recommendations for Melbourne which we've been ticking off! The bus vibe was super comfy and nice, and we got to meet a great gang of folk through the tour who we've kept in touch with heaps. 10/10 would recommend its a hoot!

Having heard so much from the Great Ocean Road. We were stunned what we saw after the 12 Apostels. It got even more beautiful the closer we got towards the Grampions. Janet, our tourguide, was so motivated and excited all the time. We really appreciated her positive energy, her stories and recommendations. We‘d definitely recommend this trip to everyone.

Misty, you are a legend! I had such a good time during this wonderful trip. They say your guide makes the tour, and I think that's true. She showed as soooo many awesome places and was just in general a cool and chill person. The first day was only Great Ocean Road. We were so lucky with the weather during the whole trip. We had some breathtaking views and the whole group got along very well. We had dinner together that night and stayed in a really cozy motel. The second day was a short drive to the Grampians were we all managed to hike up a mountain together and enjoyed the views on top as a group. That night we had bbq together and watched the sunset with the kangaroos. I will never forget this trip and Misty made it so special. Thanks for all the laughs and shenanigans. Do not hesitate and book this tour!! PS: look at all those chiiickens! (Laura)
