3 Day Melbourne to Adelaide Road Tour

The Great Ocean Road and a Tour Guide named Kiwi This was a great trip. I would’ve been upset had I come this close to the 12 apostles and not visited. It was absolutely beautiful. We drove a substantial portion of the Great ocean road while stopping at the Loch Ard Gorge, and the Melba Gully Rainforest. The tour guide, Kiwi, was really good. He had an abundance of knowledge from the construction of the Great Ocean Road, to the survivors of the Loch Ard shipwreck to Koala bears, and even gave some cultural info of the Aboriginal people. The tour was definitely worth while. We made frequent stops in case of needing to use the bathroom. The tour provided sandwiches, tea, and snacks. The bus had phone charging capabilities and WiFi. I would definitely suggest this Autopia tour to anyone visiting Australia. If I return to Australia I will inquire about other tours Autopia offers.

Da non perdere Bellissima esperienza con Joel! Ci ha condotto alla scoperta di tane meraviglie. Quello che ci ha colpito di più è stata la gentilezza e la simpatia di Joel. Abbiamo amato i 12 apostoli e la great ocean road con le sue viste mozzafiato! Consiglio a tutti!

Excellent Great Ocean Road Tour with Joel ! Joel was an excellent driver and tour guide. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip enjoyable. We felt safe throughout the journey, and his explanations were interesting and informative. Thank you, Joel, for making our Great Ocean Road tour such a wonderful experience!

Good trip！ Anthony was an excellent guide! Friendly, knowledgeable, and well organized. He explained the history and highlights of each stop clearly and made the whole Great Ocean Road trip enjoyable and memorable. Thank you for a fantastic day. Highly recommend!

Amazing day We enjoyed a great day visiting the Great Ocean Road with our guide Joel; excellent service.

Great tour (Great Ocean Road in reverse) made excellent by super guide! We booked the Reverse Great Ocean Road tour at the last minute due to changes in the weather forecast. Really glad we did! The tour itself was great, from pick-up, to site visits, to easy drop-off at the end of a long day! We really lucked out with the weather and got to see so many more sights than we would have otherwise if we'd gone alone. There was a lot of ground to cover, with the "Twelve" Apostles being the clear highlight of the tour. We did great on time and even managed a few bonus stops which included a Koala sighting and a whole group of Kangaroos! The star of the show was honestly our guide, Ilkay. I have no idea how he maintained such great energy throughout what must have been an incredibly long day for him (bearing in mind he was driving AND guiding, and we were his first pick-ups at 7am, and last drop-offs around 8pm). His explanations were brilliant, both in content and delivery, and his enthusiasm really kept our group engaged. Couldn't have asked for a better guide!

very amazing！！ 5 Stars | Amazing Great Ocean Road tour with guide Joe from Autopia Tours We had an absolutely perfect day exploring the Great Ocean Road with Joe as our tour guide, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Joe clearly has a deep passion for sharing the beauty of Australia’s coastline, just like he wrote on his card—you can truly feel how much he loves showing visitors around this stunning land. His driving is extremely steady on all the winding coastal bends, giving our whole group complete safety and comfort throughout the trip. He knows every hidden gem and optimal photography spot: he took us to the best viewpoints for the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge, and even slowed down repeatedly to help us spot wild koalas and kangaroos along the forest roads. Joe shared vivid stories about local shipwreck history, coastal geology and small-town Aussie culture without rushing our schedule. He took thoughtful group photos for all of us, recommended authentic local fish and chips, and was always quick to answer every question we raised. There was zero pushy shopping or rushed stops, the whole day felt relaxed and well-paced. What impressed us most was how genuine and approachable Joe is. He told us we could reach out to him for any travel advice even after the tour, which shows how much he cares about every guest’s travel experience. If you’re booking a small-group Great Ocean Road tour from Melbourne, choose Autopia Tours and ask for Joe—you won’t regret it!

amazing time with kiwi I attended the Great Ocean Road tour with Kiwi today, and it has to be one of the most informative, fun, and enjoyable tours I have ever been on. Kiwi was an absolute pleasure to have as our tour guide. As someone who also works as a guide at an attraction, I gained so much inspiration from him. His passion, knowledge, and ability to connect with guests reminded me of the kind of experience I hope to create for my own visitors. He shared so much history, culture, and fascinating facts that we left feeling truly amazed and enriched by the experience. The journey was long, but it never once felt boring or dull. Kiwi did an incredible job keeping everyone entertained and engaged with his humour, storytelling, fun facts, and jokes throughout the day. His enthusiasm was infectious, and he made every moment enjoyable. I would highly recommend Kiwi to anyone looking for a tour filled with fun, learning, and unforgettable memories. (And he makes great sandwiches too!) Thank you, Kiwi, for all the time, effort, and energy you put into giving our family such a memorable experience during our holiday. It is a tour we will be talking about for a long time to come.

Really good tour of the Great Ocean Road! Really good tour with a lot of stops and activities included. Our guide Anthony explained much about the history and the wildlife of the Great Ocean Road which was very interesting. Even got to see Koalas and Kangaroos!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolute Highlight of My Melbourne Trip! This tour completely exceeded my expectations! The itinerary was perfectly balanced—we managed to see so many incredible attractions along the Great Ocean Road, but it never felt rushed. There was always sufficient time to explore each spot and squeeze in some pit stops during the drive. A massive shoutout to our guide, Chris (aka Kiwi)! He was absolutely fantastic all day long—incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and kept everyone entertained and comfortable from start to finish. I’ll definitely be booking another tour with Autopia Tours the next time I'm back in Melbourne. Highly, highly recommend!

Recommend the Great Ocean Road day tour! Had an absolutely incredible trip to the Great Ocean Road with Kiwi!! He was very informative, kind and friendly. I really recommend this tour as it takes you to 3+ places such as the rainforest and the Apostles. 🙂

A Must Do in Melbourne Absolutely stunning Great Ocean Road experience! 🌊✨ The Twelve Apostles and Razorback were breathtaking—photos don’t do them justice. Big thanks to our guide Joel for making the journey fun and informative. Highly recommended!

Breathtaking experience of the 12 Apostles. Fantastic trip on the Great Ocean Road, experienced many stops along the way and witnessed the twelve apostles. Absolutely breathtaking. I am an Australian and I have wanted to experience this at some point in my life. It was so good to be a passenger and enjoy the scenery. The tour guide Kiwi was amazing. He showed us special sites and shared interesting information during the tour. A wonderful experience.

Must-Do Great Ocean Road Tour We absolutely loved our tour! It was such a memorable experience seeing the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, and driving along the Great Ocean Road. Anthony and Sam were amazing—sharing so much knowledge about the places we visited and keeping the day engaging throughout. We had more than enough time at each attraction, and they managed the whole day-long trip in a very enjoyable and well-organized way. We would definitely do it again!

The great ocean road. Kiwi is a wealth of knowledge! The great ocean road is a beautiful experience from end to end! I loved it. It was a good value.

Great experience and lot of fun The tour with Joel to the Great Ocean Road was fantastic. Great vibes, lots of wisdom from him, and a very friendly approach, always thinking about and asking for our comfort. It was a real treat to see kangaroos and koalas in the wild. Great playlist for the route. 100% recommended.

Perfect day An absolute beautiful day to visit the great ocean road. Our guide Coco made the day more pleasant! Great choice of music! Thank you for an amazing day

Great Ocean Road Reverse Craig and Barry were great tour guides. It was a perfect day. Learned a lot about the beautiful Great Ocean Road and saw so many koalas and kangaroos. Breathtaking sites such as the twelfth apostles. Highly recommend.

A nice trip in Australia 3 days Road Trip with Ben as guide and driver.A plaisant trip to visit Great Ocean Road , 12 aspotres and hike in Grampians.A 13 personnes group coming from many different country.

Outstanding tour Took Great Ocean Road Reverse Tour with Kiwi as our guide. Kiwi was upbeat and informative. Sites were spectacular and we saw koala and kangaroo. Great tour!

Great ocean road Had a unreal day on the great ocean road on joes bus couldn’t recommend highly enough

Awesome Australia! We’ve done 5 tours in Australia with different companies. This one was, by far, the best! Anthony was friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. He didn’t over talk. He took great care with all the guests of various ages. The Great Ocean Road was perfectly paced. Reverse is the way to go. He also brought us to see koalas and kangaroos out in the wild. No petting zoo like most other tours. Highly recommended!

Good experience Really good way to see the Great Ocean Road and 13 apostles from Brisbane.Lots of information and stops that you might miss if doing the trip independently. To do the trip from Melbourne you really need 2 days if driving yourself so this was a good way to see it in a day with a driver.

Experienca inolvidable I want to leave an amazing review for Joel (Marlin J), my driver and guide on the Great Ocean Road and Grampians. He was great, stopping at iconic and hidden spots. Saw lots of native wildlife, it was a dream! Food was delicious and he drives super well, didn't get car sick! Highly recommend ❤️. Thanks, Joel!

Beautiful tour, would highly recommend I had a really fantastic experience with Autopia tours doing the Great Ocean Road. Coco was a great tour guide - really knowledgeable, funny, kind and put our safety first. Plenty of breaks to stretch the legs and have snacks. He even knew the best spots to see wild koalas and kangaroos!Would highly recommend this excursion!

Amazing day! We did the Great Ocean Road Reversed Tour and had an amazing day. Our guide, Coco, was brilliant, very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting little facts along the way. I would recommend him 100%. The music on the bus was great and added to the fun atmosphere. Everything he said we would see, we did – including the stunning Twelve Apostles. We saw plenty of koalas and kangaroos, and the weather turned out perfect. We also had a coffee stop and later a delicious lunch with a great selection of sandwiches and a little pudding, which was a lovely touch. Coco kept us entertained all day, such a lovely experience, highly recommend.

Amazing tour with Joel. We had an amazing day with Joel who took us on a tour of The Great Ocean Road and Twelve Apostles. Absolutely stunning scenery backed by Joel’s immense knowledge and with many other stops along the way!

Great trip along the great ocean road Great tour along the Great Ocean Road to the 12 Apostles, with some stops along the way. Joel was a great driver and four guide. Also allowed time for us to take a helicopter ride over the 12 Apostles.

Great Ocean Road Sean was a great guide. We booked the Great Ocean Road. His kindness, energy and knowledge made the experience unique. We had a great time. A big thank you to him.
