I took the Great Ocean Road tour with TWAD and Dirk, our guide. It was a great experience. Only 9 people were on the van. We saw large tour buses and large 20 passenger vans used by the other tour companies like Greyline and Go West tours and you could tell the difference in our experience. I highly recommend this...

Our group of three signed on for the GOR tour in February, 2012. ATWAD delivered on everything promised and then some. Our guide Gary, was truly a great ambassador for ATWAD and Australia. He kept our group smiling, engaged, and informed throughout the 13 hour day with his caring, knowledge and humour. Gary called ahead with our lunch orders so... More

My mum and I did this tour at the weekend. She was really looking forward to it as everyone talks about coming to Melbourne and seeing the Great Ocean Road. I had already done a 3 day tour with Wildlife tours (which was excellent) so I had a fair idea what to expect and was looking forward to seeing it... More

this was a fantastic way to see the great ocean road with a friendly and knowledgable operator. The van catered for a small group and was very comfortable and easy to get in and out of.....everything that was promised was delivered - highly recommended

I highly recommend this tour if you have just one day to visit the Great Ocean Road. Lots of stops along the way and the small group experience is terrific!

Did the GOR tour and despite it being a really long day (7:30 pickup 8:30 dropoff) it was a wonderful day and I was really thankful that I did not attempt to do this trip myself in a rental which I had considered. We saw everthing as advertised, had plenty of time at each stop and would highly recommend this... More

We set off at 0720 to get ahead of the other operators who also use the road in bigger vehicles! From start to finish Gary managed the 11 of us of varying ages with military precision ensuring we saw and enjoyed all the sights along the route-we had enough time to get a good overview of everything we visited-enough to...

I chose this tour based on itinerary, inclusions, price and review. On time, price wise is ok having morning snacks, lunch and dinner. We travel in a comfy benz van with a small group of 9 persons. Lots of time to explore, take photos or simply relax around. The driver is also the tour guide. He speaks throughout the tour... More

One of the best trips ever - the views were amazing and so varied. Enjoyed the tea break, seeing kangaroos, koalas, feeding the colorful birds, and descending down the stairs to a fantastic beach with blue waters and towering limestone cliffs. Walking through the rainforest was also cool. James, our guide, was very nice and knowledgeable. Having the meals ready... More

As it was summertime and the penguins don't come ashore until dusk our tour departed Melbourne at 1pm. The mini bus was comfortable and there was a maximum 10 on the tour. Our driver James really knew his stuff and gave a good commentary all day. We made multiple stops, including a winery, which was OK but not great, the... More
