The Great Ocean Road is rightly considered to be one of the most picturesque ocean roads in the world. The culmination of your 12-hour trip will be visiting another of Australia’s icons, The Twelve Apostles. Apart from breathtaking ocean views, you will get a chance to see koalas in the wild, as well as hand-feed parrots.

WOW! This trip was amazing. We were in Melbourne for a week, no car, decided to reserve this trip a month ago and glad we did. Richard, our Tour Guide and Driver was fabulous. We made multiple stops, saw many wonderful sights and were able to really get a feel for the area. Richard gave us a lot of history and knew the answers to our questions. He made sure we were comfortable and was considerate of our needs. Any questions we had prior to the trip were answered promptly. Richard, thank you so much!

Our tour was just a private tour, not necessarily the Great Ocean Road, as it was just three of us, and one of us had done the Great Ocean Road the day before. So our guide, Richard, had to concoct something different for us, and wow - he pulled through in a big way. We had a booking at Maru Koala, so that was our first stop, though he had a few Melbourne sights to show us first. Then the rest of the day, he had to figure out! He took us to a local coop for fish and chips (one that is frequented by the locals rather than buses and tourists), and while there, he showed us where the sting rays swim - large 4 to 5 foot stingrays! Then he took us various places where we saw beautiful scenery, many kangaroos and wallabies, echidna, and even a little penguin (the star of the day). Richard was a superb guide - he even tailored his music to our taste! We would request him again, if we were to be in the area.

Our day with Richard was wonderful. He was friendly, informative, and was also a good driver. He showed us some areas of the Great Ocean Road that many people don’t see, and the lunch recommendations were spot on. The Great Ocean Road is spectacular, and a trip we will remember for a long time. Thanks, Richard!

Richard took us to Apollo Bay for fish and chips, the best kind of that we ever had!
He was on time and attentive.

Richard did a great job driving us on a very long but enjoyable day! He pulled into great spots for fabulous views with limited crowds, and provided us with interesting commentary on the Great Ocean Road and the communities along the way. Our stop at the Fishermen's cooperative for lunch was well timed to avoid any crowds and delicious! On our return home, he made sure we spotted kangaroos and flocks of cockatoos! We would definitely recommend using Bilby for a private tour.

We had a wonderful private tour with our very friendly and experienced guide Paul. He constantly asked what we wanted to do so our trip was optimal. Paul was also a very safe driver during the long trip. I highly recommend!

What an incredible day with Mark! He was on-time, cheerful, intelligent and knowledgeable! We had the most amazing day - koalas, kangaroos, carnivorous snails! And then the majestic scenery all along the Great Ocean Road... and the 12 Apostils were stunning!! It was one of the best private tours ever - highly recommended!

We took the Great Ocean Road private tour with Bilby Travel on May 31, 2023.
The first thing we told Richard, our driver/tour guide, was that we are interested in wildlife. They are our number one priority.
Richard did a great job focusing on the sights and experiences that were of most interest to our family. We spent more time than we expected searching the bush by driving and walking than we expected. It was exactly what we wanted. And at the same time, we were able to enjoy all the wonderful sights along the way.
The additional cost for the tour being private was not as much as one might expect and it was worth it to be able to enjoy the time on the things that we enjoy the most. Be sure to check out the price on their website.

Our driver has extensive knowledge on the history behind the scenery of this trip, he has made great effort trying to find the koala and kangaroo along the way, in top of that the vehicle is spacious and clean and we have a wonderful time
