Tour Reviews
Amazing Grampians Trip with the Best Guide, Joe! Absolutely amazing trip! The Grampians were beautiful and the whole experience was so much fun. Everything was well organised and I genuinely enjoyed every part of the day. And a huge shoutout to our guide, Joe — literally the best tour guide in the world! He was so friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip even better. Would 100% recommend this tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing Full-Day Grampians Trip Absolutely loved my organised trip to Grampians National Park. Our guide, Joe, was absolutely amazing. We were a small group, which made the experience feel really personal and enjoyable. Joe did a fantastic job of keeping everyone included, chatting with us throughout the day, and making sure everyone felt comfortable.The organisation was excellent from start to finish, and it was such a great way to experience the Grampians. There was a really good balance of exploring, sightseeing and learning about the area, so the time just flew by. A huge thank you to Joe for making the day so memorable — I’d definitely recommend this trip!
Grampians - the beauty of nature I absolutely love this tour combination of small easy walks, one were a little bit steep and slippery on a rainy day, but alright for me with good hiking boots. I'm just a little bit careful after I twisted my right ankle twice, years between and years ago, I just have to watched out I don't make a wrong step. Besides me being careful, I really enjoyed this tour to see some of Grampians great looks out, beautiful nature, Kangaroo, Wallaby and emus. A fantastic storytelling guide from the real Australian world and maybe a little bit of myth. I can only give my best recommendations.
Thank you Joe, for the wonderful tour at the Grampians National Park Length of visit: 1 day Crowd size: 8 pax Tour guide: Joe Shout out to our tour guide Joe for being such an amazing and friendly person. He knew the right places to go and the right things to do. I enjoyed chatting with him throughout the ride in the passenger seat next to him! He showed us wild emus and kangaroos and I was genuinely awestruck. Also loved the hiking experience at the Grampians in the winter season, such a unique experience and wonderful view.
A day well spent! We had a lovely day with Joel, our tour guide to Grampians NP. He provided safe passage through some incredibly narrow roads, and colorful commentary and history about the towns we drove thru. A few features of the tour were closed, but Joel pivoted and provided visits to other sites instead. Our weather was beautiful and the short hikes were manageable for everyone in my family. The hike up the Grand Canyon will not be forgotten! We appreciated that the bus had WiFi and that Joel was cognizant of our need for bathroom breaks! Our stop in Beaufort coincided with a Christmas in July community fair and Joel encouraged everyone to visit for the local flavor.
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.
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!
Adelaide to Melbourne 3 day tour Excellent tour from Adelaide to Melbourne made even more enjoyable by our wonderful guide Ben. We stopped at all the major points worth seeing in The Grampians and on the Great Ocean Road. Including places that you wouldn’t know to visit if doing this yourself. One of my favourites was seeing Koalas and Emus at Tower Hill.Nice mix of tour time, socialising time and time to relax and enjoy our surroundings. Incredibly good value especially considering the breakfast and dinners were included. Ben’s BBQ in Halls Gap was delicious. Would 100% recommend.
Trip to Grampians and Mackenzie Falls Our trip to the Grampians and MacKenzie Falls was incredible. The hike down to the falls was a total leg-day workout I didn't sign up for, but the views made me forget I couldn't feel my calves!Our guide, Joe, was the absolute MVP. He’s basically a walking encyclopedia of local facts, but way more fun to be around. Even when we were running late (oops!), Joe had the patience of a saint and never rushed us. Honestly, a tour is only as good as the guide’s sense of humor, and Joe delivered. 10/10—would definitely let Joe lead me into the wilderness again!
Great Ocean Road to Grampians I had an amazing time on the Great Ocean Road to Grampians tour!The scenery was absolutely stunning, from coastal views and the Twelve Apostles to the beautiful waterfalls and lookouts in the Grampians.Our Tour guide Ben was awesome! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip even more enjoyable by sharing interesting facts and stories along the way.
Stunning views, but tour slightly disappointing If you have a car, no guide is required and you can easily do the 2 short walks and 2 lookout points independently quicker than the 4.5h in the Grampians. We were picked up at the Grampians Tourist information centre at 11am, so didn’t get any information from the guide before this. Almost immediately after the initial 1k walk, the tour stopped for lunch for an hour. Grampians Tourist Information Desk extremely helpful, providing maps and advice. No stop at the cultural centre as advertised.
Don’t skip on this tour! A fantastic day tour to Grampians National Park with stunning scenery from start to finish. The lookouts, waterfalls, and mountain views were breathtaking, and seeing kangaroos and emus in the wild was a real highlight. The tour was well-organized and never felt rushed. James was friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. A perfect way to experience the Grampians in one day—highly recommended.
Stunning scenery, rich culture, and a perfect escape from Melbourne. An exceptional full-day experience exploring the magnificent Grampians National Park with Autopia. The tour was well-paced, offering breathtaking scenery, opportunities to spot native wildlife, and insightful commentary about the area’s rich Indigenous culture. Although it’s a long day, the journey is well worth it for anyone looking to experience the natural beauty and spirit of Victoria beyond the city.
Grampians Day Tour Well paced experience with drive from Melbourne including restroom breaks. Your guide took us in mini-hikes for all Grampians National Park stops. Would recommend Anthony as a tour guide because he stopped in random spots to ensure we saw interesting things!
Grampians with Anthony/Autopia Went to the Grampians with Anthony, who is a wonderful and passionate guide! Only wish I stayed longer here! Thanks to autopia for the perfect organization.

Best trip so far in Melbourne Amazing experience, very organised, our guide Anthony (Ant-man) was very helpful. Highly recommend especially if you’re solo travelling as this trip gives you opportunities to explore Grampians by yourself at the same time have a helpful guide like ant just in case your lost!😅
