4.00A long day trip, but worth it. Sam was a great guide and was well informed about things on the way and at Grampians. Scenery was spectacular!
Very disappointing experience

1.00We booked this tour based on the itinerary described on Viator, but unfortunately the experience did not match what was advertised. It was a rainy day, and while we understand that weather can affect certain activities, we would have preferred the tour to be cancelled rather than significantly altered without transparency. Several key highlights listed in the description did not happen: • The “morning tea with wildlife” turned out to be tea at a petrol station. • Mackenzie Falls was closed (apparently for the past two months), yet it is still included in the tour description. Viator were aware it would not happen. • We did not visit Boroka Lookout or The Balconies. We were told the views wouldn’t be good, but the rain was light and we could at least have done the walks we paid for or informed ahead. • Instead, we drove 50 minutes to do a 15-minute walk at Reed Lookout. Overall, the day felt poorly structured and not aligned with what was advertised. If key attractions are closed or removed from the itinerary, this should be clearly communicated in advance, and the tour description updated accordingly. Very disappointing experience. More transparency would be appreciated.
Grampion National Park Adventure

5.00We went on this tour to see the beautiful Grampion National Park, and it did not disappoint. What we didn't realize was that the hike in Grand Canyon, though only moderate in difficulty, was too difficult for my 73 year old husband. The good part? Our guide was kind and attentive and made sure my husband made it in and out safely. We can't say enough good about Bill, our guide. The tour was great. We saw lots of birds and kangaroos. We will pay attention a little better in the future to make sure we're able to do the things included in the tour.

5.00Guided by Graham who was very energetic and funny. He made the tour enjoyable with his stories and patience. Glad to be introduced to the Grampians by someone who is so knowledgeable and passionate.
Barely Hiking, Mostly Sitting

4.00Sean was the absolute best tour guide, he was informative, entertaining, and enthusiastic. The only reason I didn’t give this tour 5 stars was because you do not hike for most of the tour. If you enjoy a relaxing roadtrip from Melbourne to the Grampians National Park then this tour is perfect for you. But, if you were expecting more hikes/bushwalks through the national park like I was, you may be disappointed. Overall, I was happy that the bus is comfortable, the vibes were perfect, and the views were lovely.
Great and insightful
