“I had a great tour with Hilda. Lots of information & photo opportunities. Poor Hilda came up against many roadworks & closed roads during our trip, but she kept going with her brilliant sense of humour.”

Review the Luxe Bus Great Ocean Road tour, with the 12 Apostles, Wildlife Wonders, chocolate, alpacas, lunch, and a small-group Mercedes van.

“I recently joined this tour, and it truly exceeded all my expectations! As a solo traveler seeking comfort without breaking the bank, this was exactly what I was looking for. Our guide Mark was very knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating stories and insights about the sights along the way. We traveled in a brand new Mercedes van, which made for a smooth and relaxing ride. The scenery was absolutely beautiful—each stop was a highlight!
