The tour is amazing. Our guide Lorraine has brought us to lot of different places in the great ocean road that gives pristine beaches , amazing scenery , fantastic rock formations and wildlife koala spotting. Great suggestion by Lorraine to provide us with a Helicopter option , although we need to fork it out from out own pocket but it is a once a lifetime experience and i highly recommend it
We had an absolutely 5 stars experience. Wine Hop's organisation was tip top. The car was very clean and our guide Jack was superb. Very safe and very clear on instructions. He was a fountain of information. He took a lot of trouble to look for the koalas and found the best spots for us to check out the sights. Jack told us wonderful stories on the trip. His music playlist was so electic and featured Bee Gees my favourite. Not lost on me the Australianess of some of the songs. Loved then. Overall one of the best tours I have enjoyed. Good work?Jack and Wine Hop. Keep it up! 👍
Very well organised activity. Everything was on time and to the expectations. Guide was very well informed and kept us entertained with his anecdotes. Would recommend this trip for anyone who wants to do a great ocean drive tour.
My family and I had a great time! Our guide, Harley, was both an expert driver and navigator. He also showed amazing knowledge about the area. Please extend this compliment to him👏🏻 Thank you for a great experience. Highly recommended.
Alicia made this trip so amazing, I can't thank her enough for making everything so fun-filled and chill at the same time! Would deffo recco this trip to anyone who wants to visit Great Ocean Road!
Thankful we managed to get a spot at pretty last minute as our original plan was cancelled, Pelago support was key in facilitating this, so kudos to them! The tour itself went well and we loved both the time we spent on the beach and the cool forest walk! Guide was friendly, funny and not pushy at all for tips.
