“A very good tour of the opera house. Very informative.”
Explore the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne with koalas, rainforest, the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, and a small-group guide.
“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..”

Spend a relaxed day tasting Yarra Valley wine, cider, gin, beer and chocolate, with flexible stops, scenic views and a friendly guide.
“Fun day - Callum, our driver, was helpful and relaxed - kept the group together without making us feel too much to schedule. I would only suggest some room on the bus for wine or chocolate purchases/somewhere to put water etc - quite tight seating with a full bus.”
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. We were lucky enough to spot an entire mob of kangaroos and, even more special, koalas in the wild — such a privilege to observe them where they belong. The drive itself along the coast was absolutely breathtaking, with dramatic scenery around every bend. Of course, the Twelve Apostles lived…”
See Brighton’s bathing boxes, feed kangaroos at Moonlit Sanctuary, visit the Nobbies, and watch Phillip Island’s little penguins return at dusk.
“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!”

Review of a Blue Mountains small-group tour with Scenic World rides, lunch, wildlife, Three Sisters views, and a ferry ride back to Sydney.

Spend 10 hours tasting Bruny Island oysters, cheese, honey and chocolate, with a lighthouse climb, scenic stops, lunch and Hobart transfers.
“This full day experience was well done. Rick, our guide, is also a resident of Bruny Island and very knowledgeable about the area. We were picked up and dropped off near where we were staying. We were blessed with good weather and got to sample award winning local oysters, cheese, chocolate and honey. We also got a wonderful lunch at the Bruny Hotel. The lighthouse and other scenery were lovely. A great day was had by all. I recommend this tour.”
