It was nice to sit back, relax & enjoy the scenery.
We also liked that it was a small group. Would’ve loved a we bit more time for lunch and shopping, however, we made it work as we understood the timing of everything especially given the winter months and the sun setting earlier.
Def recommend!

Excellent
Tour di un giorno alla great ocean road da Melbourne, molto consigliato. Durante la giornata, prima di giungere ai Dodici Apostoli, ci sono altre fermate di scorci e spiagge memorabili, passeggiata tra eucalipti per vedere i koala e suggestiva passeggiata nella foresta pluviale.
