          Penguins are adorable
          The little penguins at Phillip Island were adorable! I was there during the low season but they were still so cute to stare at! Jono was an excellent guide and wealth of knowledge. Would 11/10 recommend him and this tour.

          Worth every penny!
          Bob, our guide, was absolutely incredible! He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Bob is a rockstar! We booked the tour for the penguin parade but were pleasantly surprised with the additional stops, especially the Moonlit Sanctuary with a koala encounter and kangaroo feeding. (You will pay for the koala encounter at the sanctuary & you can buy the food to feed the kangaroos - absolutely worth it) We visited in October and had a wonderful experience seeing the Penguin Parade. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne! (I’m submitting my review months late because I just noticed that I never submitted my review. So sorry!)

          Good experience
          Mark k, our guide, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, very good. Only point is that depending on the time of year, there are drastically different numbers of penguins in the parade. We went during March and we saw about 20 walking up the beach.

          Perfect day trip
          Great trip, highly recommend! We saw almost any Australian animal you could imagine at the sanctuary (plus a few I couldn’t have imagined existed) and seeing Phillip Island and the Penguin Parade is a must see, and our guide Sherif was amazing.

          Great content, brilliant guide, highly recommended!
          A brilliant tour jam-packed with fascinating wildlife encounters, very well planned and executed. Our guide Tim was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He kept joking with us, maintaining a good mood and he added a little personal touch in the form of a disco ball so that it would be easier for us to find our bus in the parking lot :) He gave us multiple options and was willing to adjust the content and length of stops based on our preferences. During lunch break he found out about a surfing competition nearby so we made a little detour and that was really cool. Much appreciated. We also got to pet a koala, feed kangaroos and wallabies, we saw an echidna and an opossum and a bandicoot in the wild. Best tour ever, would definitely recommend to everyone.

          Excellent was to see the city in 1/2 day
          Although I was nervous finding my way to the meetup spot since it wasn’t at/near the cruise ship port, it was a short taxi ride (or probably a 20 minute walk), and was so worth it! Mel was our tour guide and she was knowledgeable, accommodating, and funny. In addition we had Simon with us who was a guide in training so we had double the knowledge. We visited several sites with ample time to enjoy them. Some were traditional tourist sites (the memorial Victoria’s fallen solders, the Olympics sports complex, the beautiful cathedral with the massive pipe organ, and Fitzroy Gardens), while others were quirky and fun (the one street in Melbourne where graffiti is allowed, and the site of the old brothel on Madame Brussels Lane). Mel went above and beyond several times. For example, even though food was not included, she made sure we knew which stops had coffee, toilets, or a cafe and the allowed us ample time to see the location and/or eat at our own pace. When we visited the graffiti lane, she actually offered to take pictures of us in front of a section! Meanwhile Simon explained the relevance of the various artworks. We learned a lot about Melbourne, and thanks to Mel and Simon, it was a memorable experience.

          Very good trip - great locations for photo shoots, good stop to look at wild koala bear plus an excellent tour guide Chris H. He was super knowledgeable and full of passion in what he is doing. He is super good nature and humorous so we had a great time and enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!’

          Must-go in Melbourne
          {17 March 2025} That's my first day and first time in Australia, and I am really glad I've joined this tour. Massive thank you to Jon, our polite and enthusiastic guide, clearly explained everything and took care every one of us. Not very interested in the bathing boxes, but the view in Woolamai surf beach is stunning that is quite unforgettable for me. Moonlit Sanctuary isn't that big but really worth a visit observing native animals. Nobbies has penguin burrows under the boardwalk and we could spot few of them, also have great sunset view there. Also can see some wallabies and penguins when the bus was moving around the island. I could only see few tiny spots heading back from the sea in penguin parade, but when it was dark, it became very easy to see and hear them up close near the boardwalk. It was amazing!! But hope there were less people taking photos especially using flashlight! That was cruel when I saw the light directly flashed on them.

          The tour was lovely. Although the weather was not great, it was raining most of the time but it is just one of the many things that are out of our control. Despite the bad weather, it was amazing. Mr. Robbo, made the day fun and he is very accommodating and nice.

        We had three wonderful day trips with our guides Jai, Bill and Rob who are all very knowledgeable, humorous and thoughtful. Although the weather of the Great Ocean Road and the Phillip Island day trips was not as nice as we would like, we still enjoy the trips very much, especially the fantastic experience with the little penguins on Phillip Island as we witnessed their journey back home. Our guide Jai, Bill and Rob were all very kind and gave us a lot of tips during the trips to have the ultimate experiences. The scenery at the Twelve Apostles, the break at the Moonlit Sanctuary were also lovely. We had a lot of close encounters with the wallabies, kangaroos, koalas and other wild animals. The free city tour was a nice add-on to the trip and provided a very quick snapshot of most tourist attractions, but I would not recommend it to anyone who wants an in-depth experience with city. Overall we had a great time in Melbourne thanks to the day trips with Go West and our tour guides. Would recommend the tour to anyone visiting Melbourne.

        Thank you so much for sharing your review! We’re delighted to hear that your trips with Jai, Bill, and Rob were such a memorable experience. It’s great to know that even though the weather didn’t cooperate, you still had an amazing time on the Great Ocean Road and Phillip Island tours. The penguin parade at Phillip Island is always a special highlight, and we’re glad you had a chance to witness it. It’s also wonderful to hear that the wildlife encounters, the Twelve Apostles, and the Moonlit Sanctuary were all such great experiences for you. We appreciate your feedback about the city tour—it’s intended to give a quick snapshot, but we understand that for some, a deeper exploration of Melbourne might be preferable. We hope to welcome you back again soon, perhaps for another adventure to the Yarra Valley or the Great Ocean Road! Thanks again for your recommendation and your kind words!

        Visited Melbourne as a solo traveller and decided to do my first tour of the Great Ocean Road through Go West. The tour guide Bill was a well travelled individual and kept the guests informed throughout the journey, integrating his own experiences into the storyline which was fascinating to hear. The weather on the day was excellent and this made the experience even more enjoyable, with fully airconditioned transport, along with complimentary WIFI, the service was excellent. Having stopped for cake and coffee at Torquay, we then travelled to Apollo Bay and other picturesque locations, seeing local wildlife such as koala bears which was great to witness. Having been collected from a chosen pick up point at 8am and then arriving back into the city for 9pm, I believe this tour is excellent value for money and would highly recommend booking this, when visiting the city.

        Phenomenal experience! Our guide, James C, was exceptional! He took us on an unforgettable journey today along the Great Ocean Road, sharing his vast knowledge of the region's history, geology, and wildlife.

        James' passion and enthusiasm were contagious, making the tour feel more like a fun adventure with friends than a traditional guided tour. He expertly navigated the roads, ensuring our safety while providing breathtaking views of the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, and other iconic landmarks.

        The small-group size allowed for a personalized and intimate experience, and James took the time to answer all our questions and cater to our interests.

        Last but not least James took us to two surprise places at the end of tour which was not part of itinerary

        If you're looking for a memorable and enriching experience on the Great Ocean Road, look no further! James C is the perfect guide, and we can't recommend him highly enough. Five stars isn't enough – we'd give him ten stars if we could! #Melbourne; # Tours;

        We had an unforgettable experience on our Great Ocean Road tour from Melbourne, thanks to our fantastic guide, Christ H! From start to finish, Christ was knowledgeable, engaging, and made sure everyone in the group was comfortable and having a great time.

        His commentary was insightful, covering everything from history and wildlife to local legends along the route. He also kept the day well-paced, allowing us to take in the breathtaking scenery, including the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, and stunning coastal lookouts.

        I alongwith my son Sahil took the Great Ocean Road Tour through Go West Tour today alongwith 22 other travellers.

        We were met by Sherif who was our appointed Tour guide for the trip.

        I must say Sherif effortlessly navigated ys through all the landmarks, providing us with valuable insights into the rich history and culture of each place we visited.

        His detailed explanations and Anecdotes brought every destination to life, making the experience even more meaningful and memorable.

        His impeccable organisational skills ensured that all of us make the most of our time in each location, maximizing our opportunities to explore and discover.

        Also it would be wrong if I miss out to mention the dedication Sherif showed to ensure the comfort and safety of every member of our group

        He went above and beyond his duties to accommodate our needs and preferences.

        Sherif's friendly nature fostered an atmosphere of camaraderie among the entire group and delightful memories.

        He went beyond his professional expertise and it was evident that he genuinely cared about each individual's likes & dislikes.

        Sherif your passion for sharing your vast knowledge and love for the various destinations we visited showed through in every interaction.

        I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to Go West Tour team for organising a perfect itinerary and particularly Sherif for executing the perfect planned itinerary

        Our Great Ocean Road Small-Group Ecotour from Melbourne with Go West Tours was absolutely incredible. Alisha, our guide, made it truly unforgettable! From the moment we boarded the coach, her friendly and professional demeanor made us feel welcome and excited for the adventure ahead. Alisha's knowledge of the area was outstanding; she shared fascinating stories and facts that brought the history and natural beauty of the Great Ocean Road to life. We loved all the extra insights (from perfect photo taking spots to lunch recommendations) she offered, which truly enriched our experience.
        The tour itself was fantastic! The coastal scenery was breathtaking, and we saw wild koalas, explored the amazing rock formations at Port Campbell National Park and the Twelve Apostles were magical! But the highlight, without a doubt, was the helicopter ride over the Twelve Apostles! Alisha highly recommended it, and we're so glad we took her advice. Seeing those majestic formations from above was simply awe-inspiring.
        Go West Tours did a wonderful job with the itinerary. Everything ran smoothly, with comfortable transportation and well-planned stops. A huge thank you to Alisha and Go West for an unforgettable journey!
        We highly recommend Go West Tours to anyone visiting Melbourne who's looking for the best tour operators.

        During our Great Ocean Road tour, we had the pleasure of being guided by Mark K, whose expertise and enthusiasm made the experience truly unforgettable. Mark's storytelling brought the history and beauty of the region to life, offering fascinating insights about the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, and the breathtaking coastline. He was attentive, friendly, and ensured everyone felt comfortable throughout the trip.

        The scenery was absolutely stunning—every stop was more picturesque than the last. Mark’s passion for the area was evident as he shared hidden gems and photo opportunities that we would have otherwise missed. The tour was well-paced, with ample time to explore and enjoy the surroundings.

        If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure along the Great Ocean Road, I highly recommend booking with Mark as your guide. His knowledge, professionalism, and humor added so much to the journey. It’s an experience I’ll treasure forever!

        We have just finished a fantastic day with Rhys our tour guide doing The Great Ocean Road small group tour.
        Rhys gave us a great commentary and even supplied us with spectacular weather. You will not be disappointed if do this wonderful tour. We stopped at many great viewing spots throughout the day. The Great Ocean Road tour is well worth its money with Go West Tours and we would recommend if you have time whilst in Melbourne to book through this company. Thanks again for a great day Rhys.

        Had an amazing day on The Great Ocean Road small group tour. Our guide Chris H, was amazing, you could tell he is passionate about his job, the way he narrated the history of events that happened, you could picture everything. He was knowledgeable and full of jokes and incredibly friendly. The coastal views were breathtaking and also beaches were amazing. Unfortunately we did not see any Koalas, but the other views were worthwhile, The 12 Apostles and Shipwreck site. Also enjoyed the helicopter ride, it was worth it, viewing the Twelve Apostles from above. I would highly recommend the trip to anyone visiting Melbourne, it's worth it.
