What people love about Australia Tours from Melbourne
- 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.
