Excellent 2-Day Great Ocean Road Tour.A most enjoyable 2-day trip. Walter, the owner of “Around and About” (the tour operator) was our driver and guide. My wife and I were among the total of 8 persons in the 11-passenger van. Walter did a enjoyable and enlightening job of efficiently handling everything. He provided insights, showed us the amazing sites as described in the listing, showed much concern to ensure we were all being fully satisfied and even delighted. And we were truly delighted. We departed Melbourne 6am on the first morning, saw the sights listed for that day, and spent the night in Apollo Bay. The youth hostel there was fine, no problem. My wife and I much enjoyed our delicious evening meal at the Great Ocean Road Brewhouse, where we ordered Kangaroo steak. So delicious. The 2nd day was equally enjoyable. We saw koalas, kangaroos, other animals in the wild. We were very pleased to have lots of opportunities to get out of the van at the numerous stops, to take photos and often enough time to take some short (15 – 45 minute) walks. Our 2nd day, we returned back to Melbourne ~ 5pm. We loved it all. We highly recommend.
