“A lot of travel time, but you’re getting to see so much beauty. The ocean Road with its 12 apostles., beach towns, beautiful farm lands, and walk through a rainforest.. Tom was an excellent driver and got as quickly to each area safely and always gave clear directions on where to meet… the information about each area was given before we got to the area so you could tour independently, but he was also readily available if questions..”

Beat the crowds on a 12-hour reverse Great Ocean Road tour from Melbourne, with the Twelve Apostles, rainforest, wildlife, and a small van group.
“We had a fantastic full-day Great Ocean Road tour with Hit the Road Tours, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The 12-hour day flew by thanks to our wonderful guide, James, who struck the perfect balance of being informative, engaging, and genuinely fun with a very diverse group of travelers. Seeing wildlife in their natural habitat was a real highlight.

The drive itself along the coast was absolutely breathtaking, with dramatic scenery around every bend. Of course, the Twelve Apostles lived…”

“We had a great time! We didn't want to drive ourselves, but were worried the experience would be too touristy or dull, happily, it was quite the opposite! Cloe was wonderful! She entertained us with lots of interesting history and wildlife tidbits, talked just the right amount and was very relaxed, even when we came up to the wire on time. Highly recommend this tour and if you can manage one with Cloe as your guide, do it!”
