If a picture is worth a thousand words, than seeing it in person is indescribable! When deciding what part of Australia to visit on our short stay, seeing the pictures and reading the descriptions of Australian Natural Treasures Touring caught our attention. After a few short correspondences we chose to take the 3 day Great Ocean Road Tour. It far exceeded any expectation we had. Our tour guide, Pierre, was extremely knowledgeable of the area, wildlife and especially the flora. He was a a great conversationalist and made the drives between sights go by quickly. The van was more than comfy with the plush reclining seats and the lodging and meals were better than imagined. We were sad to see the tour come to an end and are deciding the next time we can go to the other side of the world to do another tour.

This trip was fabulous from start to finish. Only 6 people including our wonderful driver/ guide Pierre. We saw all the spectacular sites at times they weren’t crowded. Pierre was knowledgeable, extremely friendly and very relaxed. The accommodation and meals were excellent. I can’t recommend this trip highly enough!

We took this tour under recommendation of our travel agent. I can’t say enough of how wonderful a time we had. Our guide,Jeremy was confident,informed and such a great man. My wife uses a wheelchair and Jeremy went above and beyond to help us. The ride was more than comfortable. Lots of sights and picture taking opportunities. Accommodations were superb .Meals well worth it. We both had a great time and felt we had made a friend by the end of the tour. Thank you again Jeremy.

I'll start by saying there is a good bit of riding, especially the last day. If your driver is a good as ours, Eddie, you will have a good time. A breakdown of the trip: day 1 - Beaches and beach towns: day 2 - the heart of the tour, 12 apostles and other stunning sights,: day 3 - ride through wine country and farming country. Interesting steps in each leg of the journey. Accomodations were excellent, meals could be worth it for some alone. We had a koala out side our window one night. On a personal note: we had an issue, caused by the travel company that we used to sign up for the tour, and these folks took control and made sure it was made right. Doing all the phone calls and organization. That alone makes me say this IS the company to use for any tour they offer.

All the sites along the Great Ocean Road were picturesque our pick of them would be The 12 Apostles.

It’s cold. The traffic is bad. The Eastern Freeway roadworks are endless. Is it worth the trouble on a damp overcast day to drive to Daylesford? Undoubtedly. The welcome is warm, the bakeries brilliant, the coffee good and the streetscape interesting. No graffiti, no grumpy drivers in blacked out SUV’s, no interminably slow trams. Do it for your soul.

We had a tour with this company scheduled last March, 2020 just when the Covid-19 was starting to affect travel. As a result, we had to cancel our flights from the US and all our vacation bookings in Australia. Australian National Touring, not only allowed us to cancel at short notice, but gave us a full refund back to our credit card. Thank You journey@anttouring.com.au

My friend and I booked this 2 day trip to Daylesford as an impromptu addition to a weekend in Melbourne. It was just the two of us, and our guide, Jurgon, tailored the trip as we went to suit us as he got to know us. Jurgon was a charming, thoughtful and knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed two “hatted” dining experiences in the one day and over the weekend a mix of landscapes, history, cider tasting mixed with some interesting local artisan shops and experiences. By the time Jurgon left us at the airport we felt like old friends. Both of us agreed we’d do it all again in an instant.

my german visitors did this tour and found it fantastic. catering , company of the the other tourists and the overnght stay meant they could relax and not be as rushed as on a day tour

We have just returned from a tour from Melbourne to Daylsford .I have never been a fan of organised tours but this one was the most enjoyable we have ever been on..Glenn Webster the tour director was a national treasure himself,nothing was too much trouble he was always on time and really spoilt us by taking us to places he thought we would like even though it was not on the itinerary.The food and accommodation were first class.We really recommend this tour.

We took the 3 day 2 nights Melbourne-Adelaide tour with Glenn. He was well prepared and knew everything there was to know about the area. We saw kangaroos, koalas, macaws(we fed them too). On one stop we took a walk in the forest preserve and saw native flowers and plants. Everything was well organized. Accommodations each night were excellent (one night we stayed in Beacon Point Ocean View Villas and yes, the views were spectacular). and the meals that were provided were excellent. So much to see and yet there was flexibility as there were only 6 of us on a small, very comfy van. He made tea for the morning stop and got us local pastries to go with it. We really got a good taste of this wonderful "road". Pleas do not pass up this bucket list adventure.

Overall, I enjoyed the tour. However, there were elements that detracted from my experience, but enjoyable overall. Pros: Hotel pickup; great communication; reasonable pricing; well planned itinerary; some hidden, special treats; wildlife, amazing views, fantastic dinner; lovely rest stops; small group; personal guide who is respectful and caring. Cons: Uncomfortable van seats; long periods of silence (To explain further, I'm loquacious and I like tidbits of information as part of my tours. Glen, our guide is reserved, he offered interesting info at stops, but seldom spoke unless a specific question was asked, and no music or background noise to break the silence, this made day one very long and somewhat boring) We rode back with Eddie who was much more jovial and talkative, a better fit for our personalities; terrible accommodation selection - yes, great views but tired, old, dusty and unkept).

My wife and I had an amazing time on this tour, our tour guide Jeremy was an absolutely genuine and lovely person from the start! He has a brilliant way of making everyone feel welcome throughout the entire tour, and showed exceptional people skills! The accommodation that we were booked in to has the most breathtaking views of the ocean and was very cosy, you even have the option of lighting a small fire on the slightly colder nights... The tour itself is amazing, and we were lucky enough to share our experience with some amazing people too! Thank you Jeremy & crew!! Richie and Sophie Rayner!!

A wide and varied range of experiences over the three days. Comfortable travel, exceptional accommodation, plenty of flexibility and choices and an informative guide.

This is a "must do" in Daylesford! Whilst away for a couple of days with girlfriends, after visiting every shop in town. we were told about a one day tour operating out of Daylesford. We got to see the other side of the town and it's surrounds. The 4WD bus took us into the forest to look at old mining digs and stone ruins. We found out about the tragic story of the Lost Children, saw loads of wild life, and had a fancy lunch at Passing Clouds Winery. Even if you are a regular to Daylesford, I guarantee these guys will show you something new, as only the locals can.
