Brenda and had a great adventure today with Gowest on great ocean road. Our bus driver and tour guide Bree is such an upbeat, patient and knowledgeable young lady. She is also a superb driver. We were not sure what to expect, as we booked last minute. Bree stopped at a number of picturesque places, made sure we knew what time to be back by using here white board. We had a diverse group, so clear understanding was needed. The ancient rain forest stop and walking tour was a highlight. But to experience the 12 apostles from the cliff and then on the beach floor was spectacular. We would recommend Gowest tours.
