Informative, picturesque day
Great day. Driver Peter was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and a safe driver. No big crowds for photos doing reverse itinerary with a small group of 10. Morning tea, lunch and chocolate/icecream stops were all tops. No issues with you eating on the bus, which was very clean to start the day. Small amounts of walking required to get to the 12 Apostles and other sites but this would be the same for all operators.

4 Hour Private Tour of Melbourne’s Iconic Highlights with Guide
rwcole86, Sep 2026
4 Hour custom city tour was a great start to my trip and introduction to the city.
I was fortunate to have two tours with Mark’s Melbourne private tours during the week I was in Melbourne. Upon arriving at the airport Mark picked me up and provided an exceptional tour of the city keeping me entertained by his knowledge and the wonderful sites of the city until my hotel check in later in the afternoon.We started off with a drive around the neighborhoods, St. Kilda, Luna Park, Brighton Beach, The Historic MCG. And then stopped for a bit of a walking tour at the war memorial, art filled laneways, and of course some coffee.Mark and his partner George were exceptional with their service and knowledge of the sites. They made themselves available for any questions and recommended activities and restaurants for dining suggestions.Could not have had a better first day in Melbourne!

VIP private tour with Mark’s Melbourne private tours. Visited the great ocean road and 12 Apostles full day custom tour.
Mark’s Melbourne private tours was a fantastic choice. The full day ocean road 12 Apostles was an experience. Mark is an excellent guide and made me feel at home from the moment we met. The sights were outstanding and this is a must see trip when visiting Melbourne. Not only was the ocean road full of breathtaking sites but as a bonus we experienced Kangaroos and Koalas along the route. Mark also recommended a great place in Apollo Bay to stop for lunch and had a perfect meal at the fisherman’s co-op. Memories of this trip will last a lifetime.Cheers Mark!

Best tour ever!
Melvin was wonderful. So friendly and informative. Relaxing drive too. About of information. And also quiet time with music.As far as the value- cannot beat it. 12 stops and a 12 hour tour. The price is insanely good. Coffee stop in the morning was great. The row of restaurants were also good, it was hard to choose from.He took us to see koalas and kangaroos. That’s was surrealI would recommend him to everyone! You’d be lucky to have him as your driver. Truly, the highlight of my trip.Mahalo Melvin for an amazing, memorable day.

A Wonderful Great Ocean Road Tour!
I'm so glad I participated in this tour ☺️ You explained each spot in detail and took lots of pictures! I'm not very good at English, but I was very happy that you spoke to me in simple and easy-to-understand English so that I could understand. The detailed thoughtfulness was wonderful, and I was able to spend a fun time feeling at ease ☀️ I was so happy to receive a cute gift at the end too 🦘✨ Thank you for a wonderful day!

An absolutely unforgettable day on the Great Ocean Road!We had such an amazing experience from start to finish. The scenery along the Great Ocean Road was breathtaking, and we were incredibly lucky to see so much Australian wildlife, including lots of kangaroos and koalas in their natural habitat — definitely one of the highlights of our trip!A very special thank you to our guide, Mark, who was absolutely wonderful. He was friendly, knowledgeable, passionate, and made the whole day so enjoyable. He shared so many interesting stories and facts along the way, always making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time.Everything was perfectly organized, and the combination of spectacular landscapes, wildlife, and Mark’s fantastic guidance made this tour truly special.One of the best experiences we’ve had in Australia and a day we will remember for a long time. Highly recommended! 🇦🇺🐨🦘🌊

It was a day to remember. Loved it
Travelling along the Great Ocean Road was one of the best road trip experience I have had.With stunning views and The Great Ocean Road offers one of the most spectacular coastal drives in the world. With its stunning sea vistas, dramatic limestone cliffs like the Twelve Apostles, and charming seaside towns, it is an unforgettable road trip that truly delivers on its hype."An absolutely breathtaking experience!The coastline views are stunning, and every lookout offers something unique—from the majestic Twelve Apostles to the dramatic waves at Loch Ard Gorge. We also loved spotting wild koalas along the Great Otway National Park stretch and grabbing a bite in the quaint towns. The road itself is in excellent condition.

An outstanding, stress-free way to experience Victoria’s iconic coastline in total comfort. Full-day tour (approx. 11 to 12 hours). Door-to-door hotel pickup and drop-off in Melbourne were seamlessly handled, giving us plenty of time at each stop without feeling rushed. Exceptional. Our guide was warm, attentive, and highly knowledgeable—sharing local history, spotting wild animals, and tailoring stops around our family's preferences.

We recently joined the Private Ocean Rd tour and had an absolutely wonderful experience! As a overseas traveler, I was initially a bit nervous, ( itcis a 10 hour tour )but our amazing guide, Jerry made me feel incredibly welcome, safe, and well looked after throughout the entire trip.​The tour itself was exceptionally well-organized and reasonably priced. The tour bus was clean, modern, and very comfortable. Friendly professional Guide which allowed us to actually connect and make new friends along the way .​Jerrywas a phenomenal guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about Melbourne’s history, culture, and beautiful landscapes. He also gave us excellent recommendations for local cafes and restaurants during our rest stops.​Thanks to this tour, I had a fantastic time, made great memories, and took tons of beautiful photos.
