I am happy to travel with you. Thank
- 3 Day Great Ocean Road & Grampians Melbourne Loop Tour (Accommodated)
I really enjoyed this tour. It was well organised and adaptable to the changing (hot!) weather conditions. Starts off with driving along to great scenery on the Great Ocean Road. Then visiting the usual spots at the Twelve Apostles with many other tourists..... after that then it’s even better as so few other people around the coast. A chance for a swim too! Really enjoyed the hike up in the Grampians and down to the waterfall. Our guide came up with a suggestion for those that didn’t want to hike to the waterfall. Halls Gap is a lovely and very friendly Little town. The morning tea and rolls on the first day and BBQ on second evening were a nice touch to the trip. The guide we had, Darren, was awesome. One of the best I’ve travelled with. So much passion for the job and knowledge of everywhere we went to. Plus he was upper organised and helpful and engaging. I’d recommend this trip.

Amazing experience in New Zealand, Australia and Fiji. It was our first tour and Trafalgar exceeded our expectations!

Tours often begin with Aboriginal experiences in the city. These include walks with Koorie Heritage Trust guides along the Yarra River visits to Aboriginal art at the Ian Potter Centre and meals at Indigenous-owned establishments like Big Esso by Mabu Mabu.
