Circuit inversé de la Grande route de l'Océan

This whole road is narrow at places. There are overseas tourists that drive on the wrong side of the road with no signs to make them aware that in this part of the world, they drive on the OTHER side. Expensive touristic places along this road.

Thank you, the day was amazing experience. We had fun and the tour guide told us lot of interesting facts. The views were incredible beautiful and we managed to see some koalas and also some kangaroos.

I joined the Great Ocean Road Day Tour led by Jimmy Chen on 11 Mar 2025, and it was an amazing experience! Jimmy was sincere, caring, and full of hospitality, making everyone feel welcome and well looked after throughout the day. His knowledge about the Great Ocean Road and its iconic stops, like the Twelve Apostles, added so much depth to the tour. Jimmy’s friendly and attentive nature made the trip enjoyable and stress-free. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Jimmy as your guide—it’s a fantastic way to explore one of Australia’s most stunning landscapes. Thank you, Jimmy, for a memorable day!

A whole day in nature with breathtaking views of the ocean and coastal cliff and rainforest walks with wildlife encounters all together with lovely fellow tour guests and under the expert guidance of our tour guide and superb driver Marty! The morning coffee and lunchtime stops were excellent too. I'd do it all again tomorrow!

Our round trip from Melbourne to the Great Ocean Road was an absolute delight! The journey was smooth and well-paced, with everything running punctually from start to finish. The group was wonderful, making the experience even more enjoyable. A huge shoutout to our driver, Chris, who was incredibly versatile—switching effortlessly between guiding, driving, and ensuring everyone’s safety. His thoughtful planning meant we arrived early enough to beat the crowds at key stops, allowing us to truly soak in the stunning coastal scenery without the rush. Chris made sure we ticked off all the highlights, from the iconic Twelve Apostles to hidden gems along the route. The wildlife sightings were a special bonus—we spotted kangaroos, koalas, and even had the rare treat of seeing an echidna! Overall, this tour was well-organized, comfortable, and packed with breathtaking sights. If you’re looking for a stress-free and memorable Great Ocean Road experience, this is it! Highly recommended.

Chris was our guide who offered a wealth of information, shared experiences of Australia past and present. The trip had many stops for us to view and experience the breath taking scenery. It was a full day! We saw kangaroos in the wild, amazing!

We travelled along the Great Ocean Road on our motorbikes, the road is full of scenic sights to see and there are plenty of corners to enjoy.

Outstanding tour especially doing it in reserve. The best tour to do if you are visiting Melbourne. It gives you a wonderful perspective of both the farmlands and coastline. Small bus was excellent choice and Marty was exceptional and easy to spend the long day with.

I had an amazing experience on the Great Ocean Road tour. The entire trip was well-organized, and our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly, making the journey even more enjoyable. The breathtaking coastal views, iconic landmarks, and well-planned stops made for an unforgettable day. Everything ran smoothly, and the comfortable transport added to the experience. Thank you for creating such a memorable tour. Would highly recommended.

An amazing.experience. Ann was a great tour guide. She was not.only informative but very entertaining. Would highly recommend!

We saw some driving on wrong side of the road And others just stopping in middle of the road we nearly crashed a couple times People getting out of cars taking photos so dangerous. Impossible to get any parks on sights. Most only accomodate a few vehicles definitely no room for caravan to park Camping spots impossible to find. Everywhere you go is packed with no parking. Nice view but not worth the drive. SA peninsulas a lot better lots of camping options and parking bays.

We stayed with friends in Melbourne who were eager to show us the highlights of the area. It was a full day tour, but so happy we went. Sometimes the road goes inland where you might encounter some animals in the wild. Truly gorgeous coastline!

Le guide, Peter, a fourni beaucoup d'informations sur les sites de la visite. Rien n'était trop difficile et il tenait à s'assurer que tout le monde passait un bon moment.

Great way to see some great sights in a short amount of time (was here on business). Managed to see the 12 Apostles and the surrounding areas, (Gibson steps, Razorback, Loch & Gore) and others along the Great Ocean Rd. Saw kangaroos and koalas and just stunning ocean views. Definitely enjoyed the "reverse" itinerary of going straight out towards the 12 Apostles and working our way back down Great Ocean Rd. This meant that circa 10am when we were at the coast for the 12 Apostles and that whole region, there were few other people. I imagine come midday and early afternoon, it can get difficult to capture pictures without a bunch of others in the foreground or background of your photos :) While there is a lot of driving, it is punctuated with many stops along the way so there's a good rhythm to the day without too many lags. Our driver and guide Marty(?) was great! Upbeat energy, great sense of humor, a music playlist we enjoyed and have since all downloaded off of Spotify hahaha), and very knowledgeable of the different sights. I would definitely recommend to others.

We rode the great ocean road from Melbourne and liked it very much. I Think you'll have the best views if you travel the great ocean road from east to west. If you travel from east to west then you drive the closest to the ocean. To be honest the first part of the great ocean road is the most beautiful if you pass cape otway the road will be less stunning. Though the second part has some really beautiful spots like the twelve apostles and london bridge but the road itself is here not really challenging anymore.

The tour was well organized, with lots of opportunities to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly, drove well, and kept us on schedule so we didn't return to Melbourne too late. Highly recommend this tour.

We absolutely loved this tour! Chris was fantastic at making sure we saw all the best views and beat the crowds as well as taking us koala and kangaroo spotting. We felt like we saw all the best bits of the Great Ocean Road and had the most amazing day. Highly recommend!

We booked this tour based on the reviews, small tour size, and reverse itinerary - and I am so glad we did!! This tour is wonderful! Our guide Pete set the tone right away for a fun, educational, and respectful day. He did everything he could to ensure we saw everything we wanted to see (including several koalas and kangaroos) and taught us a lot about the area. The itinerary is well thought out and we were able to see all of the highlights with very few other people around (in some cases, just our small group). This was a highlight on our first trip to Australia and one of the reasons we are inspired to come back someday! Thank you Pete and Hit the Road Tours!
