Great breakfast at Premier Inn
We were served by Anastasia who although didn’t know what Ceoliac disease was, she contacted her manager and arranged for my daughter’s food to be cooked seperately. Anastasia was friendly and helpful throughout our breakfast which was delicious and very good value for money.

Outstanding Great Ocean Road drive
Steve was an outstanding guide with personal attachment to the Great Ocean Road. A long day but worth it.
via Viator
Definitely better than hiring a car and driving there ourselves…
Steve was great! Managed our expectations pretty early on by being cheeky! There was never a dull moment considering it was 80% drive. He turned awkward situations (e.g. influencers not knowing limits, latecomers) into fun situations that in the end, there was harmony on the bus. Fun facts and true historical facts much appreciated, which we wouldn’t have known had we DIY’ed it. A one-day experience well worth it, thanks to Steve.

It was A Great Day
We went on a Great Ocean Road tour with guide Jay. I thought it would be a bit boring since it was such a long tour, but he drove safely and shared entertaining stories about Australia and animals along the way, so it wasn't boring at all! The weather was great, so I was able to fully appreciate the beautiful nature, including the coast and farms. Our guide took pictures of us at every photo spot, making for some wonderful memories. The restaurant he recommended was also delicious! Despite being a long Time, it went smoothly and I was very satisfied.

Why this scores 83
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Great Ocean Road Reverse Premier Tour in Premium Coach: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.
How much does Great Ocean Road Reverse Premier Tour in Premium Coach 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 Great Ocean Road Reverse Premier Tour in Premium Coach take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Great Ocean Road Reverse Premier Tour in Premium Coach worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 109 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Melbourne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Great Ocean Road Reverse Premier Tour in Premium Coach?
+
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 Great Ocean Road Reverse Premier Tour in Premium Coach suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Great Ocean Road Reverse Premier Tour in Premium Coach?
+
Around 38 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Great Ocean Road Reverse Premier Tour in Premium Coach 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.
