Join a micro-group of just 8 guests for a relaxing, rewarding and stimulating tour full of scenic diversity. Birds eye views of cities, vast farmland, famous wine regions, extinct volcanoes, coastal icons, shipwrecks, rainforests and winding cliff top roads. Add to this some great food and wine and small group of like-minded travellers and you have a very memorable 3 days. The itinerary has been carefully planned so that you will take in many different experiences while keeping the schedule at a comfortable and relaxed pace. The first part of this tour through farmland on route to Naracoorte Caves and the Coonawarra wine region is less visually spectacular and is therefore done at a faster pace to allow more time on the Great Ocean Road. Traveling in a small group of no more than 8 people will also allow you more time at places and a more personalised experience.

While hearing the tale you will be able to see and hold some original artefacts, photos and documents from the ‘Loch Ard’ contained in our treasure chests.
The 12 Apostles are Icons of Australia’s natural beauty. We arrive as the stacks are lit with the morning sun making them perfect for photos and crowd free. This is a bonus for taking a 2-day trip as the stacks are silhouettes in the afternoon and overcrowded.

5.00An amazing 3 day Aussie experence. We wanted to see as much of Austrailia as possible le and this was possible the best way to do that. We were met the first morning by Pierre and we're shocked to know that we were it gor the 3 day tour. So personal! Pierre knowledge and engagement was fascinating. Although the weather turned, the trip did not. The accommodations were unbelievable. One, an English garden estate. The other, a view that probably won't be matched for the rest of the trip as our room sat hillside looking down over Appollo Bay. Parrots and walling everywhere. And a koala in the tree right in front of our room. Thank you, Pierre, for a memorable experence.
Enjoy the drive without the stress.

5.00Our Driver Eddie ‘went the extra mile’ to make sure we saw the designated tourist sights and also koalas, kangaroos and emus living wild. We went to places we would have driven by if travelling independently. He was knowledgeable,helpful, timely and caring for our needs. The overnight locations were amazing, too. A memorable trip.
Amazing great ocean road tour

5.00I simply cannot overstate how wonderful of an experience I had on this tour! There is so much to gush about but I have to begin with our tour guide, Pierre. As much as I enjoyed the good food, wildlife, and gorgeous sights, it really was Pierre's company that made the trip that much more memorable. He had so many stories to share about the places we visited, Australia itself, and (what I am most grateful for) his own life experiences. It honestly felt more like Pierre was a friend you're travelling with that happened to have a lot of passion and knowledge for the area while being responsible and settling everything for the group. But also the slightly quirky friend because he enjoys smelling and eating some of the plants we see around, and shares them with us. They were good though, he knows his stuff. If you get Pierre as your guide, you're surely in for awesome company and fulfilling conversations. Aside from our amazing guide Pierre, the other components of the tour also make it great value for money. The minivan was extremely comfortable - clean, spacious, and soft cushiony seats that recline along with an adjustable leg rest. We fell asleep during the drive pretty easily so trust that it's EXTREMELY comfortable. The accommodations were superb whereby the only downside was that we only had one night for each of them. We even got to see a sleeping koala near our room in the morning after our second night stay! The food was delicious and you have quite a few options for every meal. The itinerary itself is well-planned because it flows and you get to see so many beautiful sights along the way. On top of that, you get to request for places that you want to go to! Or if you're clueless like me and my friend were, Pierre (and I'm sure the other guides too) have recommendations according to what experiences you might like so it's free bonus spots if there's time. We got the opportunity to see even more wildlife because of this. Big thanks Pierre! Overall, this is a 5-star rating tour for me. Sincerely. It is unlike any other tour I've been on and I wholeheartedly agree with the other review on here that says all tours should be like this. If you're hesitating on booking this tour, don't. You'll enjoy it.
A FULL refund, even with a late cancellation

5.00We had a tour with this company scheduled last March, 2020 just when the Covid-19 was starting to affect travel. As a result, we had to cancel our flights from the US and all our vacation bookings in Australia. Australian National Touring, not only allowed us to cancel at short notice, but gave us a full refund back to our credit card. Thank You [email protected]
Great Ocean Adventure!

5.00We took the 3 day 2 nights Melbourne-Adelaide tour with Glenn. He was well prepared and knew everything there was to know about the area. We saw kangaroos, koalas, macaws(we fed them too). On one stop we took a walk in the forest preserve and saw native flowers and plants. Everything was well organized. Accommodations each night were excellent (one night we stayed in Beacon Point Ocean View Villas and yes, the views were spectacular). and the meals that were provided were excellent. So much to see and yet there was flexibility as there were only 6 of us on a small, very comfy van. He made tea for the morning stop and got us local pastries to go with it. We really got a good taste of this wonderful "road". Pleas do not pass up this bucket list adventure.
