Brendan our driver was fantastic. We had a great day. Highly recommended tour. My son commented that it was like driving around with a friend rather than a paid tour.
Great time with Steve

My family and I had a great fun time with Steve. He was an excellent tour guide who knows what he’s doing. He professionally worked with us to develop the tour plan before our trip. He recommended activities to do, places to visits, and importantly great places to dines. All turned out great and we all loved it. During the trip, he provided several historical info as well as fun tales.
We will do the seaplane tour next time when we visit Melbourne.
The best tour in 2020!!!

Steve from GPT guide went above on beyond. This was the best tour experience in Melbourne. The customised package from the start to finish was exceptional. Steve made even my 14 year old love the helicopter and dining experience. Some good laughs along Great Ocean Road and amazing views along the bush walks. The morning stop at Cafe with the best scones and jam we have ever tried!!! We loved ever place Steve took us. OMG the ice cream stop was a winner for our kid!!! Wish I can give 6 stars as Steve was exceptional at ensuring we had everything we needed to make this day the best day in 2020!!!! Thank you Steve for an amazing day!!!
