Darren was helpful when I contacted him at late notice as I was messed around by other tour companies. The driver Jeff was very accommodating and very friendly and he told us facts about the Great Ocean Road without being boring and over bearing. We were a family group of 10 for my Father in laws 80th birthday.

I did the booking from Sydney was so seamless and the entire process was very smooth.
We were a family of 4 adults and a child 5yrs old, Darren was easy to coordinate with and gave me the pick up time. We were picked by Simon from our hotel and he gave us an amazing experience of the entire tour. We took the mornington peninsula tour aswell the next day and it was brilliant.Simon explained every little detail throughout the way and was great company.He kept my child entertained aswell. Even today my child asks me about Simon. Highly recommend MPT for future tours.

Enjoyable day at the Great Ocean road with a good mix of scenery, and insightful commentary on local history and wildlife (including spotting Echidnas and a tiger snake!). Simon was an easy going, knowledgeable and insightful guide. Thanks for a nice day!

What promised to be a long day filled with a lot of driving, we're so glad we chose to do it on a private tour and take the airplane flight over the 12 Apostles. Flying instead of driving saved so much time and gave us an exhilarating perspective. 35 minutes in the air goes by fast, so it would have been nice to make one more loop over the Apostles, but all the scenery was still beautiful to see. Our guide, Darren, was personable and enthusiastic. We thoroughly enjoyed his company for the day.

Hi made4livin, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! It's great to hear you enjoyed your Great Ocean Road tour with Darren. He'll be really pleased to hear your feedback. Including a flight as part of a tour is definitely a great choice because it can save some driving time and also give you an appreciation of the incredible coastline from a vantage point a lot of people don't experience!
Thanks again and we hope to see you back in Melbourne, Victoria again soon.

Simply...great! We are at end of a 3 week Australia vacation and the last few days in Melbourne have been great....much of that thanks to our incredible guide, Garth. We did a half day city morning tour with him first.....his knowledge and mix of driving and walking was perfect. The following day we did the 12 Apostles - Great Ocean Road with Garth again.Part of this was supposed to be by helicopter however the weather did not co-operate for the helicopter portion.....we are glad it didn’t, as the additional time in the car with Garth was full of more great information details - flora;fauna;history plus lovely FYI,,Garth is a world of knowledge and made our visit to Melbourne so memorable......MPT has very comfortable vehicles and wonderful staff.

Easy to book online a two day private tour to the Great Ocean Road and we also added on a helicopter ride over the twelve apostles which was fantastic. We were lucky to get Simon who was a brilliant guide and had lots of information to impart and answered all our stupid questions. Was a really good two days and Simon looked after us very well and had excellent recommendations for lunch and dinner. Able to adapt things to accommodate my mums bad knees and we saw lots of wildlife. Thanks for a great trip. Highly recommended.

I surprised my mum for her birthday with this private Great Ocean Road tour. Brendan, our guide, was very knowledgeable of all of Melbourne and the GOR and was a delight to travel with and hear his stories.
We made multiple stops that varied from Koala sight seeing, rain forest walks and lunch at Apollo Bay.
Unfortunately the weather kept us on the ground and we didn’t make it to the sky in the helicopter to see the Apostles, but Brendan made up for it by stopping at many more places. We will be back to do it again with MPT when the weather is finer!
Thank you Brendan and the Team!!

Great day form the start to the end from Melbourne to Great Ocean Road and helicopter to 12 Apostles. Great vehicle, great guide, great vies, great stops and great lunch - absolutely recommended. And when I was able to forget a jacket in the vehicle, they sent this all the way to Norway for me as well.

MPT made it happen for us. Only disappointment was because of the weather we were unable to fly in the helicopter. Our driver found a quicker route to the Apostles and drove through interesting (to us) agriculture area to get there. Our tour lasted from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM...too short of a time to really see the Great Ocean Road out of Melbourne but we were satisfied.

Hi SisuColorado, thanks for your review! We're pleased to hear that you achieved your one main goal of seeing the 12 Apostles, which truly is a spectacular sight within Australia. It is a shame that the poor weather meant your flight could not proceed - however you now have another reason to return to Victoria!

We had decided on a bespoke tour as my wife has mobility problems and it was an excellent decision.Collected direct from hotel in a super comfortable Mercedes and negotiated the manic Melbourne traffic out to the Ocean Road route,we stopped when we wanted at our own pace and had a very informative guide.The highlight, as always was the twelve apostles and had pre-arranged a helicopter tour early so we were able to get a helicopter just for ourselves so no squashing! Absolutely fantastic and then to see the formation from ground level was awe inspiring.Definitely an Australian highlight.

Dear PJones49, we agree that the Great Ocean Road is an Australian highlight, and we are so thrilled to hear you enjoyed your touring of the region with us. Of course, a helicopter flight is just another added touch to make the day truly memorable. Thanks again and best wishes for your future travelling!

Hi. We are constrained with time and need to be back at our hotel by 5 pm. Is it possible to see the Twelve Apostles and be back by 5? We are beginning a formal tour then so the time is not flexible😢

Hi,
I will be on a cruise boat and don’t get in until 9:00 am on 12/23. I would like to do the sunset at 12 apostles and leave at 11am. Would this be possible?
