Do you want to experience Victoria through an exclusive, insider lens? G’day! I’m Peter — traveller, explorer, adventurer, and a lifelong enthusiast of business, economics, treasure hunting and metal detecting. I’ve built a reputation for showing guests a side of Victoria that standard itineraries simply can’t reach. Forget rigid schedules, generic commentary and cookie‑cutter sightseeing. My fully private, bespoke journeys are crafted around your pace, your interests and your sense of adventure. In fact, my tours have proven so successful that I have created a tour operation which now services visitors to three states of Australia, with many guides whom I have trained. You’ll explore in comfort aboard my 5‑series BMW, perfect for up to four passengers, and I always aim to create the feeling that you’re travelling with an old friend rather than a guide. Whether we’re discovering Melbourne’s hidden corners, heading down the Mornington Peninsula, cruising the Great Ocean Road, or venturing into the mountain ranges around the city, you can expect stunning locations, rich stories, plenty of laughs, great photos and authentic Australian cuisine along the way. Travelling with a group? No worries — I can quickly organise a larger vehicle, up to a 12‑seater if needed. Even better, the per‑person cost decreases as the group size increases. If you’re looking for a tour that’s personal, flexible, memorable and genuinely unique, send me a message. I’d love to show you my Victoria.

The most comprehensive 12 hour Great Ocean Road tour on the market!
Overview of your Melbourne tour
The Great Ocean Road is the second most popular destination in Victoria, after Melbourne. This tour will show you why. You will experience 9 locations at which you will have the opportunity to take photos and enjoy the amazing characteristics of each. This all-inclusive tour will not only take you to well-known locations such as London Bridge and the iconic Twelve Apostles, but also a number of lesser known, less crowded but equally beautiful locations - including a wildlife sanctuary! I have done this tour many times over the years, allowing me to make improvements and adjustments. Currently, I do the tour in an efficient manner reducing time on unnecessary driving allowing greater time to visit more (NINE!) locations, while avoiding large crowds. Since this is a private tour we take breaks when required, such as when we see wildlife. The default start time for this tour is 10am, however, since this is a private tour it is possible to customise the starting time to suit your preferences.
Your Melbourne tour itinerary
I do this route a little differently to other tour providers in order to avoid the crowds and increase your chance to see wild animals such koalas, kangaroos, cockatoos and parrots. The tour starts a few hours later than most so that you are well rested. You will be picked up and chauffeured along the inland route towards Port Campbell, following the Great Ocean Road back towards Melbourne. As we drive along the Great Ocean Road we visit famous locations such as London Bridge and the Twelve Apostles. I have included visits to a number of lesser-known, but equally amazing spots on this tour, including a short visit to a wildlife sanctuary. You will see beautiful beaches, explore mysterious coves and view amazing natural wonders from various observation points, with ample opportunities for toilet breaks. A picnic-style dinner is provided in Lorne - a picturesque coastal town. At the completion of the tour you will be taken back to your pick-up point.
