Reviews: Great Ocean Road Day Tour from Melbourne | Great Ocean Road Trail & Twelve Apostles
Guest User2025-08-20
A very satisfying tour! We were lucky to have a sunny day at the Twelve Apostles, as it had been cloudy and rainy the previous day. The itinerary was well-planned, and we didn't waste any time. Our driver and guide, Xiao Liu, was very talkative and shared a wealth of local knowledge about Australia. He also drove safely and smoothly. We had planned to take a bus, but since there were only about 20 of us, we ended up using a minibus, so we actually enjoyed the service of a minibus tour. It was a great value for money! Everyone was very cooperative and met up on time, so we didn't waste any time waiting for people.★

Reviews: Great Ocean Road classic day tour [Chinese & English speaking driver/guide & popular spots & air-conditioned bus] in Melbourne
Guest User2025-07-19
Great and easy option for travelers who don’t drive.
The bus was on time, hit all the spots, and brought us back right on schedule. Lunch stop was included. I recommend getting on at the first pickup spot, and you’ll have more seat choices.★

Reviews: Melbourne Puffing Billy Steam Train + Penguin Island Day Tour [Visit two popular attractions in one day]
Guest User2025-08-18
Since it was a small group, the driver picked us up at the hotel on time. The small crowds made the experience very good. The steam train burned coal, and the smoke was a bit dirty. I was covered in fine coal dust when I returned, so I tried not to open my mouth when facing the wind. The penguins were cute, and you could see them up close on the boardwalk. The starry sky was also beautiful. I had already seen the zoo in Brisbane, so I didn't go. I felt that an hour was a bit tight for the zoo. I would like to praise the driver and tour guide, Banban, for his steady driving and also for teaching us some sightseeing tips.★

Reviews: Melbourne Great Ocean Road + Twelve Apostles Day Tour - Classic non-backlight reverse line
Guest User2025-03-15
To Melbourne, I must go to the Twelve Apostles Landscape. I have seen the picture introduction and been deeply attracted. We read the weather forecast and reported a day trip to Mercedes-Benz. The itinerary is more reasonable. The lighthouse time is slightly shorter. There is a small slope up and down. It is recommended to give ten more minutes. It is better. The route is the main attractions first. The return coastal road enjoys the picturesque scenery. It is beautiful. It takes more than an hour to return to the city from the lighthouse. It is not thought to be a three or four hour journey. Thank you very much for letting us see such a shocking beauty! ! !★

Reviews: Melbourne Brighton Beach Boxes/Zoo + Penguin Island one-day tour with Chinese/English Option available
Guest User2025-07-27
We watched him as soon as the cute little penguin landed. His belly was white, his wings were black at the front end, his back was white, his head was black, and his back was gray. And as soon as it landed, it ran back to the sea, not knowing if it was afraid, and then came up and ran straight over the stairs. Then we hurried down the trail and saw a lot of little penguins standing by their nests, and there they kept screaming and screaming. Then they all slept, so cute
