Besides a gross bathroom stop, all was great
Overall, a great way to get to the 12 apostles and ocean road. My one complaint was that one Bathroom stop on the way there was disgusting. They stopped at some random parking lot with a bathroom. Bathrooms were so disgusting and there was urine all over the floor. Even a gas station would have been a step up from that. It was gross. The driver said it was the last stop for 2 hours, so I didn’t really have a choice but to use it. I also told him it was gross, but he was like “oh it’s okay”. No, it was disgusting. Find a better pit stop for your customers.

It's nice experience, was...
It's nice experience, was Chinese language tour guide but William explained in English whenever we stopped for tour.

We were told we would...
We were told we would have an English guide and we got a chineses guide who spoke no English. We left the tour and the company is refusing a refund as they say we got some English. We absolutely did not get English. A passenger told us the driver said this is a Chinese speaking tour
Response from the operator: We informed you at the time of registration that this product primarily features Chinese explanations, supplemented with English audio explanations. All communication with you was conducted in writing, and you were aware of this. We never claimed that there would be an English-speaking guide providing on-board services. Our vehicle had only traveled 10 kilometers out of the city when you decided to disembark and abandon the trip. Our driver dropped you off at a safe location, and at that point, the English audio playback had not yet started.

Be careful! This tour is in Chinese!!
I was the only European, otherwise only Chinese. Explanation in Chinese only. Of course the ride was nice, but next time again Autopia Tours - small groups and super great guides
Response from the operator: Wir haben Ihnen nach Ihrer Anmeldung mitgeteilt, dass diese Tour eine chinesischsprachige Tour ist. Unsere Erklärungen und Kommunikation haben wir schriftlich klar gemacht. Es steht Ihnen selbstverständlich frei, andere Angebote zu nutzen, aber wir möchten darauf hinweisen, dass wir Sie bereits am Tag Ihrer Buchung auf Englisch schriftlich darüber informiert haben, dass diese Tour auf Chinesisch durchgeführt wird. Vielen Dank!

Amazing day tour. Bob our driver was a safe driver. Tour was in Chinese. Played back audio tape in English.
Amazing day tour. Bob our driver kept things running on time. The tour was in Chinese. It did not matter to me, because I was there to see the amazing sites. Some audio played back in English.

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full day Shared Tour to Twelve Apostle (Melbourne Chinese Tour): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.
How much does Full day Shared Tour to Twelve Apostle (Melbourne Chinese Tour) cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Melbourne usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full day Shared Tour to Twelve Apostle (Melbourne Chinese Tour) take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Melbourne is not rushed.
Is Full day Shared Tour to Twelve Apostle (Melbourne Chinese Tour) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Melbourne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full day Shared Tour to Twelve Apostle (Melbourne Chinese Tour)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full day Shared Tour to Twelve Apostle (Melbourne Chinese Tour) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full day Shared Tour to Twelve Apostle (Melbourne Chinese Tour)?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Melbourne can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Melbourne and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full day Shared Tour to Twelve Apostle (Melbourne Chinese Tour) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Melbourne within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Melbourne?
+
On Outty we rank every Melbourne experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Whisky and Chocolate Tour, Yarra Valley Wine Tour w Exclusive Gin, Cider & Chocolate Tasting, Yarra Valley Wine Tour from Melbourne - Choc, Gin & Good Times. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Melbourne?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Melbourne?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
