    Best tour ever!

    Melvin was wonderful. So friendly and informative. Relaxing drive too. About of information. And also quiet time with music. As far as the value- cannot beat it. 12 stops and a 12 hour tour. The price is insanely good. Coffee stop in the morning was great. The row of restaurants were also good, it was hard to choose from. He took us to see koalas and kangaroos. That’s was surreal I would recommend him to everyone! You’d be lucky to have him as your driver. Truly, the highlight of my trip. Mahalo Melvin for an amazing, memorable day.

    Great ocean rd

    Great experience with Peter as our guide. Pick up was seamless. Long trip 12h in total but well worth the sights. Got to see tons of nature, some kangaroos and koalas in the wild. The tour group side of 9 of us was perfect. We had sufficient time to take pics with each site. Highly recommend.

    Excellent taour along

    I really recommend Grest ocean road and luxury tour while you are visiting Melbourne. Out guide Peter was fantastic and clearly has had a lot of experience

    10/10 Peter made this trip!

    Fantastic day out. Peter was a brilliant guide! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and he took us to some gorgeous spots beyond the usual lookouts. The reverse itinerary meant we avoided the crowds almost entirely, which made a huge difference. Koalas and kangaroos in the wild, and ice cream at the chocolate factory to finish. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.

    A Fantastic Day with an Excellent Guide!

    We had an absolutely fantastic day with our tour guide, Peter! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. The timing at each stop was perfect, so we never felt rushed or like we were waiting around. Peter also shared lots of interesting stories and background about each place we visited, along with some fun and fascinating facts about Australia. As first-time visitors to Australia, we really appreciated how much he helped us learn about the country while making the day fun and relaxing. Peter truly made our trip special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended!

    Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.

    How much does Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,030 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 Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 102 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 Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury 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 Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour?

    +

    Around 36 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury 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 From Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Cider & Chocolate tour, Melbourne: Epic Yarra Valley Wine Tour & Lunch - Gin/Beer Upgrade, 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.

    What is included in Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Carbonated beverages; All Fees and Taxes; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Breakfast; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 240 listed pickup locations in and around Melbourne. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Melbourne. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
