5 thoughts on “3 Day Melbourne to Adelaide Road Tour”
I did the 3 Day Melbourne to Adelaide tour at the start of July. Jiri was our tour guide and he was really passionate about talking about the surroundings as well as his specialty: the wildlife! As his passion gave this little extra, all of us were really excited and happy during our tour. I had so much fun during the tour and 3 days was by far not enough as we were having a really good time all together.
I enjoyed this tour very much. The tour took in a LOT of sights in just three days, and went to the Grampians as well as the Melbourne Great Ocean Road. Our driver-guide was Tom and he entertained the group not just with knowledgeable stories but also entertaining and highly apt song choices along the way. Good times.
100% absolutely recommend – only the second group tour that I have ever taken and would re-live the tour over again. Stunning scenery along the Great Ocean Road and in the Grampians National Park, amazing animals but not so friendly as to let me cuddle them and the passion of the tour guide, Jared shone through. Even a little bit of rain didn’t dampen the trip for me or my travel buddies, or the kaolas, wallabies, kangaroos, emus… Loved it! Nikki, UK xx
Did last 3 days the great ocean road tour from Melbourne to Adelaide. Our guide Darren was great. He takes everywhere the time the group need to have to having a great. He said “you’ll be here only once so having a great time”
after the last stop we change the bus to go to Adelaide. Our driver Dave told us t was the most boring road. And he was right 😉 still he did a good job and brought everyone to her/his hostel so 🙂
Darren and Dave, and off course everyone off the group, thnx for the great time!!
What an action-packed, stunning and value for money tour this is! I thoroughly enjoyed myself for the entire 3 days, with amazing scenery and wildlife the whole way. Eric the tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and made the tour interesting from start to finish. We had great luck and saw koalas, a whale off the beach at Warrnambool, and even an echidna in the Grampians. The tour is a great mix of active walks, photo opportunities and time to relax. Accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the included food hit the spot! Forget about flying or the bus, this is absolutely the best way to travel between Melbourne and Adelaide!
