We went on the Great Ocean Road Tour, including the optional helicopter ride over the 12 Apostles and were very pleased that we chose Go West from the many companies that offer the same or similar tours. Our guide for the day (whose name we've forgotten-sorry) was very good indeed, providing an interesting and entertaining commentary, guiding us through the... More

I have done 2 tours with Go West and both times I have been incredibly lucky to have the wonderful Jonathan as my tour guide - informative, witty, welcoming and inclusive he takes the title as my Top Tour Guide in Australia. The Penguin Parade is a fabulous day tour that includes wine & cheese sampling, to die for chocolate... More

I attended the Go West Penguin Parade Bus 2 tour with tour guide Issac and was so very impressed with not only the content of the tour but also the wonderful service provided by tour guide Issac. The service provided by Issac was far above any expectations as he went above and beyond any other tour guide that I have... More

Just got back from a great trip to Australia. And made even better by Go West tours. We went for the great ocean road trip and the Philip Island trip from Melbourne and had a great time. Excellent guides, well arranged and highly recommended. Cheers and keep it up Guys. More

My family and I really enjoyed one day trip to Philip Island! Thanks so much to driver as well as guide-Katie! She is really friendly and helpful. This is a quite large group tour (20+ people) but it is fine for me. So if someone want a small group tour,maybe go west tour is not suitable for you. The time... More

If you take only one day tour out of Melbourne on holiday, make sure you travel the Great Ocean Road. The scenery is spectacular and breathtaking, from windswept beaches to lush rainforests. While it is a long day (12+ hrs), you won't be disappointed. We chose Go West Tours for this trip in part for the smaller group size. Our... More

Go West did a great job on our recent tour of the Great Ocean Road. Our driver James was very knowledgable and kept us entertained and laughing during the trip. It is a very long day - no way around that - but James did an excellent job of making the trip interesting and informative. Pick up was right on... More

Hi Skot, Thanks for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear you found our bus uncomfortable. The vehicle you're referrring to is only a few months old and the feedback from our guests to date has been really positive. The bus in question has 29 reclining leather coach seats. This vehicle normally comes as a 33 seater, but we have added... More

They pick and drop you off right at your hotel. The Ocean Road Tour started at 7:30 and ended at 9:30. Long day on a mini bus but you see a lot of different sights. Another plus is you get to meet lots of individuals from different countries since you are on the bus so long. All and all, it... More
