- The ranking of tours, activities, and experiences available on Tripadvisor is determined by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, the frequency of user clicks, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.
We perform checks on reviews.
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.

What travellers are saying
- GlobeTrotting6088571 contributionJools and Gumnut were amazing guides! We had a wonderful time full of memories and laughter. Will definitely recommend Go West to everyone!Review of: Great Ocean Road Small-Group Ecotour from MelbourneWritten 5 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- L C T1 contributionIt was a truly memorable experience watching the penguin parade. Our guide, Jacqui, was very cheerful and friendly and she lifted the mood of the tour group. She also gave us very useful and interesting facts about the places we were visiting. Overall, a very good experience. Thank you.Review of: Phillip Island Penguin, Brighton Beach, Moonlit Sanctuary from MelbourneWritten 4 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lisa G5 contributionsReally great tour. You get to see a lot of amazing sites all in a one day tour. Pickup was early at a central hotel in CBD, 6:50am. I recommend bringing a coffee or tea on the bus with you, because the first place to purchase coffee or tea was about 10am. I was traveling solo and felt perfectly comfortable. There were other solo travelers in our group as well. We did see koalas and our tour guide, Rocky, stopped at an extra stop to see one other koala too. Our tour did not stop in Colac, so the drive back was very long, but pretty scenery. We did see kangaroos running in the countryside too. There are no chargers on the bus and no wifi. Also there is no where to hold a drink in your seat, so a bag to hold your water bottle or snacks is very helpful. I do recommend snacks for the drive back. We ate lunch at 12:30 and got back a little after 7pm into Melbourne.Review of: Great Ocean Road Tour Plus Koalas, Forest Walk And Morning Tea.Written 1 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SarahKansas24 contributionsIt's a tour without feeling like a tour, super chill and personable guide (Pedro Pascal doppelgänger) who tailors the experience based on what the group wants (chocolate/cheese/gin/wine/cider/beer/champagne/even non drinking friends will enjoy it). Go on this tour! - S
Pedro was so funny and relaxed. Great stories, solid fake accents, and very useful tips. Would def look for him the next time we go on tour.

Tom was a wonderful guide and was very helpful and accomodating for the needs of our group, from making the booking to ensuring that there were appropriate options at every location for a pregnant friend.
