Great trip!! I enjoyed it a lot :)
No rush, plenty of time to see things and a beautiful day
Was a wonderfully planned trip! Well worth it!
As with most tours in down under, the driver was very well informed and providing us with a lot of info and trivia throughout the trip! They also keep up timing to a T, without being rude about it! And e sights are all breath taking, especially the twelve apostles! And the cliffs! People might advise to make it a two day trip, but I feel this kind of well planned day trip is perfect! Added bonus was sighting koalas in the wild enroute
very very long trip and if i ever did it again i would tae 2 days found it too long a trip and especially when sitting near the back of the bus.

i would not do this again given the choice. the tour is a very long ride from Melbourne, and the view, if you're on the wrong side of the bus, is very limited. actually, you see none of the beautiful shoreline as you drive along side it. the stops are also very limited - you just get a few minutes at each stop. there's no beach time except for viewing, and it's all a rush job to get you there an back within the 13 hour trip. we did enjoy lunch, but the trip overall was not worth the time and money.

This tour, again, was disappointing. It is a very long tour, with not much changing along the coast. The end, where the gorges are was very nice but the driver had such thick accent that none of us could understand him. He also had "an edge" and once really yelled at a traveler who came late after the break. I was bored to tears most of them time, especially because my husband wasn't with me and I didn't know anybody on the bus. Would not recommend this one. I would have just gone on my own if I knew.
