Nice trip with friendly guide
- The Great Ocean Road Melbourne - Adelaide 4 day 3 night Tour
We took this tour in early March and it was absolutely amazing. What a beautiful part of the world! The tour highlights and venues like the Great Ocean Road and Port Fairy were well worth the trip. The restaurants and hotels on the tour were highly rated in their individual localities so the accommodations were exceptional. But it was also great fun having a tour group of 12 adults all from different parts of the world. Our tour guide, Steve, was another highlight. He was full of energy and a lot of fun. His knowledge of the area and willingness to keep us informed made the tour fly by. If you are interested in seeing and learning about Australia between Melbourne and Adelaide, then this is a great way to do it. We highly recommend it.
