I chose this tour based on itinerary, inclusions, price and review. On time, price wise is ok having morning snacks, lunch and dinner. We travel in a comfy benz van with a small group of 9 persons. Lots of time to explore, take photos or simply relax around. The driver is also the tour guide. He speaks throughout the tour... More

One of the best trips ever - the views were amazing and so varied. Enjoyed the tea break, seeing kangaroos, koalas, feeding the colorful birds, and descending down the stairs to a fantastic beach with blue waters and towering limestone cliffs. Walking through the rainforest was also cool. James, our guide, was very nice and knowledgeable. Having the meals ready... More

As it was summertime and the penguins don't come ashore until dusk our tour departed Melbourne at 1pm. The mini bus was comfortable and there was a maximum 10 on the tour. Our driver James really knew his stuff and gave a good commentary all day. We made multiple stops, including a winery, which was OK but not great, the... More

While visiting my brother in Melbourne (from America), we were looking to take tours to learn more about the city (he is a student at the University of Melbourne and hadn’t had a chance to explore yet himself). While there are many out there to choose from, A Tour with a Difference came recommended from one of his friends. While... More

We did a one day tour of the Great Ocean Road with A Tour With A Difference in October 2011. Brian, our driver (and owner I think) picked us up at our CBD hotel at 7:30 AM. We worked our way out of Melbourne, and Brian gave us lots of interesting info about buildings, areas, suburbs etc. We drove through... More

We recently booked three tours with A Tour with a Difference (Great Ocean Road, Phillip Island, and the Yarra Valley wineries) while visiting Melbourne. All three were so wonderful and perfectly planned. We had the pleasure of experiencing the tours with three different hosts, James, Brian, and Gary. All three were entertaining, professional, knowledgeable, and fun to spend the day... More

After deciding to tag along on my mum's holiday to Melbourne I booked us in for the Great Ocean Road Tour...something she has always wanted to do. We both went in with such high expectations for the day anticipating on being wowed by what we would see. We ended our day even more impressed than what we thought we would... More

We took the Great Ocean Road tour. I liked the small tour group size, 10 max. The tour guide/driver was very knowledgeable. We made multiple stops along the way to the 12 Apostles. Lunch and dinner were included, with a choice of mains. I really enjoyed the fish and chips at our lunch stop. This was a very enjoyable, very... More
