Small initiate group. Strangers became instant friends. Well appointed stops with just the right amount of time to see what was there. Great surprises along the way. Walter our guide was knowledgeable, timely, and communicates clearly. Needs to be moderately fit to get the most out of it. You need to days on the GOR to really appreciate it. If you don’t like a hostel accomodation, Walter will take you to a place of your choice. Highly recommend but very strenuous.

Walter did a great job leading the small group of 6 on the Great Ocean Tiad for 2 days. Well organized, hit all the high spots, have great advice and tips. Could not be better. Weather didn’t cooperate but that’s not his fault. He helped us have a great time.

Excellent experience. Walter, owner of the “Around And About” tour, was our driver and guide, who did an excellent job of showing and explaining the wonderful sites along the way. We were glad we also had plenty of opportunities, at the many stops, to get out, take photos, and do some nice 20-30-minute walks at many of the stops. Sites included coastal scenery, waterfalls, seeing kangaroos and Koalas, beach areas, etc. The youth hostel in Apollo Bay was nice, clean, no problem to use the community bath down the hall. Dinner at the Great Ocean Road Brewhouse in Apollo Bay was a positively-memorable experience, including the beer and kangaroo steak. We appreciated Walter’s attentiveness. An entirely pleasant trip.

Guide/driver is impatient.

Loved this tour - the scenery speaks for itself and the small group tour maximised the time and interaction with our driver. Couple of small criticisms: Would have appreciated a more substantial breakfast/morning tea on first morning - bikkies and an apple at around 8am didn't quite fit the bill after being collected from hotel at around 6am. No facilities for breakfast at 5am when staying in hotel so would have been more than happy to pay for own brekky at first stop. Accommodation at backpackers hotel in Apollo Bay was also low standard - paid for unit which was pretty grubby - perhaps other options could be offered. Despite these minor complaints - thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the GOR is as spectacular as everyone says it is.
