Beautiful scenery, nice pace, great guide and really enjoyable day. We had 7 stops in total and each one was worthy of our time. Our only regret was that we didn’t take the two or three day journey from Melbourne to Adelaide.
Wonderful trip. Our guide Kurt was very experienced. He totally outlined our day so we knew what was coming up. The stops were all worthwhile and enjoyable. My husband is a tall man and found the seats rather confining.
We had a great day. Both the guide and the driver are nice and kind persons!! I will definitely recommend this trip!
Nice view. Handy tour leader aka driver. Safe and sound. Good pictures.

The tour guide was great, the day trip was organized and full of fun!
Our bus driver was very good. Very informative and interesting.
It's a tough ask to get this much driving done on a one day tour so I was pretty happy with it. Of course, being a bus tour, you spend alot of time on the bus. My only issue was with the seating. Unless you are lucky enough to have a set of chairs to yourself, prepare to be a little cosy with the person next to you. Not a whole lot of leg room. Not a small group tour! To me, a small group tour is 10 or so. This was not
Other then that I was pretty chuffed. The Otaway Forrest stop was very good and the views a long the great ocean road where consistently amazing.
I enjoyed my day trip with Autopia Tours led by Tim. I was staying in Melbourne and wanted to get out to the countryside to see some of Australia's beautiful landscapes but didn't feel confident to drive myself. This tour checked all my boxes to see the ocean, rainforests, and wildlife while making it convenient to be picked up and dropped off near my CBD hotel. Our guide Tim made everyone feel welcomed and curated a full day of sights for our group. I will say that I definitely wish we had more time at each stop since each location is uniquely beautiful, but it was a longgg day so in order to squeeze in everything, it is necessary to stick to a schedule.
It was a very hot summer’s day on our trip. We felt that our transport was outdated with the air-conditioning barely coping and neither was the “promised” wifi working adequately.
Unfortunately we wont forget this trip in a hurry. This small group tour was in a full 24 seater coach. Very cramped, no leg room and nowhere to put anybags so i sat with it on my lap the whole time. Our driver and guide ' Phil ' was very rude to a couple of passengers and also drove at a great speed. didnt feel very safe at all. A very uncomfortable day.We were prepared for a long day, but a total of 8 and 3/4 hours on the coach and only a total of 3 hours and 40 minutes visiting sites was not quite what we expected. A very disapointing trip.
On the plus side, the places we visited we lovely and would love to go back and do it all again properly to see more.
we were promised a small group tour but were put on a big bust with 42 people. we were promised water during the trip, tea and snacks in the morning, None of that was provided we had to keep buying water on our stops, and did not have any morning tea nor snacks. Our tour guide driver was awful did not do any commentary . he talked on his phone with a friend during our travels. Tour was not as advertised. Very disappointed.
