Overview of your Melbourne tour

You will have an amazing day out along the Great Ocean Road with a local Melburnian. The Great Ocean Road is one of the most scenic roads in the world! We highly recommend doing this tour in reverse as this is a long day and we want you to be excited and fresh to see the very famous attraction, the 12 Apostles! Plus, we also want to miss the large crowds and major tourist buses! It's a humbling experience to see all this natural beauty along the Great Ocean Road, from gigantic formations of sandstone and limestone carved from wind and waves of the Southern Ocean, to visiting charming seaside towns, gorgeous view spots of the coast, and spotting our native wildlife! I look forward to sharing this marvel with you!

We had spent a few days having a lovely urban experience in Melbourne, and Francois provided a perfect complement to that with his tour of the Apostles some 120 miles south of the city. It was breathtaking and we couldn’t have found a more generous and knowledgeable host. Eleven hours and we loved every minute of it - the Apostles, the fern forest, looking for koalas, kangaroos on the golf course, great roadside sandwiches, and charming, humorous descriptions by Francois, a true raconteur.

One of the best tours we ever had! Cameron was a great guide and was very sensitive to our needs since we have two children and two senior citizens. He adjusted the tour to suit our needs. He knew the Great Ocean Road tour by heart, which is the main reason why we go to Tours by Locals since your tour guides know all the "tricks" and tips of a tour.
