Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It’s great that we visited the Great Ocean Road the whole way from Torquay to Warrnambool. All of the amazing landmarks along the coast, awesome beaches, stunning scenery at the lookout, and wonderful birds’ singing and enormous natural species in the rainforest have been all carved in our memory. Walter, our tour guy, did a wonderful job of leading us spying all the gorgeous views, plants and animals all the way. We even saw koalas and wallabies walking along the road. Once in a life time, you must come and experience here.

It was a great trip, filled with scenery and wildlife. We were able to see wild platypuses, as well as stunning views along the coast on the Great Ocean Road. The additional side trip (extra add on) to Wildlife Wonders, at the recommendation of our guide, was well worth it and a highlight of our entire trip to Australia. We had originally signed on a group trip, but the other couple cancelled so they gave us a private trip rather than cancel us. Excellent stay in Forrest at a little country inn, very cozy little place with cockatoos in the garden.

Booked a 4-day custom tour with Around and About and couldn't recommend enough! Walter was so accommodating, fun, and a joy to be around. We had a group of wildlife photographers and Walter was never fussed when we took a bit longer at a stop or if we decided to make changes to the intended route. He was very punctual, knew a lot about the surrounding areas of Melbourne and was always happy to help. His vehicle is spacious, comfortable and always very tidy. An absolutely incredible experience - 10/10!

It's a really good itinerary, fantastic sights, good pace, and a great variety of things to do and see. Small tour group made for easy access and help taking pictures with the two of us. YHA night accommodation in Appolo Bay was nice and comfortable. We really enjoyed this trip... so worth doing.

The service was over rated.
The around about tour to philips Island
The bus was small n stuffy and very uncomfortable throughout the long journey.
The driver speaking can't be clearly heard behind. The fish & chip we ate for lunch was very disappointing 😞 and very pricely rated. It is worse than singapore Fish & co. 😕
The penguin hardly be seen with paying such a price.

Our guide Walter was very knowledgeable and took us to some fabulous wineries! Nice small group, only 8 of us, which was very manageable.

We loved our trip down the Great Ocean Road! Our tour guide, Walter, was lovely and provided complimentary tea & biscuits. We stopped many times to enjoy the scenery, we were even lucky enough to see the Kangaroos. The overnight stay at Apollo Bay was amazing, it was a cosy stay. Apollo Bay is no ordinary hostel, there’s a log burner and a spacious kitchen. However, the tour could have been improved by informing us of the itinerary each morning, before we started the day. P.s. bring snacks!

I highly recommend this 2 day tour with Walter
It was indeed 'ultimate' with a great combination of stops (walks), food and companionship. It was active and leisurely at the same time. A visit to the rainforest at 0700 was like something from 'Lord of the Rings'.
A 15 minute helicopter ride over the 12 apostles gave a wonderful extended view. For us the sea was calm and the ride smoothe.
The beaches were rocky with strong waves pounding the beach.
A very special experience.

Walter is an excellent guide and I can highly recommend his two day tour of the The Great Ocean Road.
I am 23 and visiting Australia on my own, and was concerned beforehand if this tour would be suitable for me, but I can confidently say that Walter’s bus and tour structure provide an excellent environment to get to know the people you’re sharing the tour with irrespective of their age or background. This was a part of the experience I thoroughly enjoyed.
