That is the tour company we signed up with for a Great Ocean Road (GOR) tour. Got this recommendation through a fellow VT who responded to my travel forum queries. I've also done some comparison with other day tour operators, find this one is most personalized as there are only 10-12 in a group compared to big buses tours.

Unbeatable value and definitely cover all the highlights they mentioned on the website:

Very experience driver and guide - Brian who has been helpful and keeping the tour group engaged - he has done an excellent job from attending to queries prior to reservation, arranging pick up and ensuring everything is in order for the tour.

Especially enjoyed the meal in Apollo Bay (generous portion of lunch), followed by a walk through the canopy walk among the giant trees.

Definitely recommend this if you only have time for 1 day tour and do not want to drive.

Address: Great Ocean Road
Directions: They do offer pick up from hotels within the city - and would advise the nearest pick up point if unable to stop directly at the hotel.
