Rondleiding over de Great Ocean Road: Versla de drukte en geniet van de beste uitzichten

Ik vond de tour geweldig. De gids is erg behulpzaam en zijn kennis over dingen maakte de tour erg leuk en informatief! Had een zeer goede tijd. Al met al een geweldige ervaring.

Onze chauffeur/gids, Mr Ben, zorgde goed voor ons en maakte onze reis leuk en leerzaam. Bedankt voor de prachtige oceaanzichten, geweldige regenwoudwandeling, en deze super harige schatjes - coalas!

Het was eenvoudig. Een goede dag, James was erg enthousiast en behulpzaam.

Onze gids was vriendelijk, beleefd en best grappig! Ik waardeerde zijn commentaar onderweg.

Did this solo and had a blast. The group was friendly and the guide Ann was super energetic. The views are just out of this world. Bit windy but nothing a hoodie can’t fix.

Went with my partner and honestly, the drive was LONG but never boring. Our guide (think his name was Chris?) had stories for daaays—like, you end up remembering random facts about shipwrecks and why the trees lean so weird here. Saw koalas sleeping in the crook of branches and a kangaroo that totally ignored us (mood). Weather was chilly but clear and we lucked out with the light at the Twelve Apostles—looked EPIC for photos! Only complaint: lunch options were a bit basic, but can’t really complain when ur eating with that view.

Such a great tour! Our guide, Chris, made sure everyone was happy and comfortable. The wildlife spotting was a highlight for my kids. Would recommend for families.

Booked last min and so glad I did. Saw the Apostles with no big crowds. Guide was a legend, showed us koalas AND kangaroos. Bring a windbreaker, it gets cold on the cliffs!

Took the reverse route and wow, barely any crowds at the big spots! Our guide (Mark?) pointed out all these tiny details along the way—like the old post office and the weird rock formations people usually miss. Food at Apollo Bay was simple but tasty. Weather changed every hour (classic), so pack a jacket. Would recommend this for families—my kids were obsessed with the parrots and kangaroos.

Tour was great! Guide pointed out all the best spots for photos and wildlife. Rain made the rainforest walk kinda magical.

Super early start but worth dragging myself outta bed for. The group was pretty chill, like 12 ppl. The guide, Barb, was kinda hilarious and knew her stuff. We spotted 3 koalas (one had a baby!) and a heap of parrots. Only thing—wish we’d stopped for coffee sooner, was half asleep for the first hour lol. Rain hit for a bit but the cliffs looked wiiiild with the clouds anyway. Would go again, maybe pack snacks next time.

Went with my partner and we both loved it. The coastal drive is STUNNING, and the rainforest feels like another world. Our guide, Mark, was super chill. Bit of rain but it actually made the views better. Bring snacks!

Weather was a bit dodgy (drizzled half the time) but I still had a blast. The guide kept spirits up, told some wild stories about shipwrecks and magpies (still scared of those birds). Saw a kangaroo in the wild for the first time. Only wish we got more time at the bakery stop—line was massive. Still, scenery was UNREAL.

So so glad we took this tour. The guide (Ann) was super friendly and knew all the secret spots. Got amazing photos and saw kangaroos for the first time!

Just did the Great Ocean Road tour with my two sisters and still buzzing tbh. The guide, Jimmy, kept us laughing all day and didn’t rush us at any of the stops. I got about 100 pics of the Apostles (you can’t not). Loved the rainforest walk—smells like eucalyptus and felt suuuper peaceful. We even got lucky and saw an echidna waddling across the path. Only bummer was the bus seats aren’t built for tall folks (my knees were jammed). Otherwise, def worth it!

Family of 4 (kids 9 and 14) and honestly, everyone was happy. The bus was comfy, guide (Ann) had snacks and games for the kids, and we got to see koalas up close—highlight for my younger one. Lunch was quick but tasty. The cliffs are insane. Would totally do again!

Did this with my bestie and we were both blown away. The reverse route is genius—barely any crowds. Got AMAZING photos, and the guide (Jimmy) even took some for us. Wildlife spotting was super fun. Bring layers, it gets windy!

Did this tour with my girlfriend. Views are next level, but it is a long day of driving. The guide was great and the stops were well spaced. Bring a good camera!

The trip was great, but be ready for a loooot of time on the bus. Wildlife spotting was a highlight—not every day you see a wild koala! Our guide was knowledgeable and patient with our group.

Hmmm, mixed feelings. The day was packed, maybe TOO packed? Felt like we were always on the move. Some sights—like the Loch Ard Gorge—are honestly magical, but I coulda used an extra 30 mins to just sit and stare. Guide was polite but not as chatty as I hoped. Saw wildlife tho, and my teens loved the rainforest bit. Not bad, just not mind-blowing.

Honestly, I didn’t expect to be so impressed. The guide (Ann) had the BEST facts about the area and found us three koalas. My partner loved the history bits. Super long day but never boring.

Long day but worth it. Saw koalas and kangaroos (yay!), and the guide had some good stories. Lunch was a bit meh but ok. Loved the forest walk best.

Loved every minute! Saw so much wildlife and the views are INSANE. Our guide Jimmy was a legend—funny and super knowledgeable. Would do again for sure.

Totally recommend for anyone who wants to see the coast without driving. The guide, Chris, knew all the best stops. Got lucky with the weather and saw loads of parrots. Bit rushed at lunch, but minor issue overall.

Took my mum and she’s STILL talking about the rainforest walk. The guide kept it fun and not too cheesy, which I appreciate. Saw a couple of kangaroos up close. Weather held up, which was a win.

Went solo bc my friend bailed last min, but didn’t feel out of place at all. People on the bus were friendly and the guide made sure everyone got their photos. Best part was the rainforest—sooo lush and green. The coastal views are next-level, especially at sunset. It’s a long day tho. Bring headphones for the drive back.

One of the best tours I’ve done in Australia. The guide was super into local history and made even the bus ride cool. We saw dolphins out at sea too!! Bit chilly on the coast, so bring a warm jacket.

Such a great way to see the Great Ocean Road! Our group was small, the guide made everyone feel welcome, and we saw so many animals. The highlight was definitely the Twelve Apostles. Would recommend to anyone.

The scenery was great but be ready for a loooong day on the bus. Stops were nice though and guide tried to keep everyone happy. Bring snacks.

Visited this couch last week , there was a long queue but it moved very fast ...very impressed with the church , the alter the states , well worth a visit.

Our room was big and very quiet. I love a quiet room! No noise from other rooms or anyone else’s plumbing. A very big, very comfortable bed. Everything was spotlessly clean. The staff were lovely. We really enjoyed the spa and the rooftop pool area. Excellent breakfast and a great location. If I go to Faro again I would always stay here.

Nice and safe location walking distance to Sagrada Familia, busses and metro. Near cafes and restaurants too. Very good service, and very clean . I did not include breakfast in our stay. There are many Cafes nearby for breakfast and a quick meal. Thanks Acta Antibes you made us very happy.

I visited Castaways for a friends wedding. What a stunning site for a wedding. However I felt the venue itself is in need of modernising or upgrading. Some aspects are starting to look quite tired and my partner mentioned the men's toilets were disgusting. The food was pretty average for a wedding and the service staff were also pretty average, the bar staff were mostly standing around doing nothing and it took quite some time to get a drink. I know how much this venue costs as I looked at it for my own wedding and I'm glad I didn't get married here as I would have been disappointed.

During a previous visit to Madrid Constant Companion and I could not help but notice the queue to enter the Basilica of Jesus de Medinaceli. It went on for over three blocks. Curious, we did a little research since nothing about it appears in any of our English speaking travel guides. What we learned was that the Jesus de Medinaceli statue was carved in 17th Century Seville. Iit has traveled to Morocco, was captured by the Moors, was rescued for 30 coins(Miraculous), and went to Madrid in 1681 where it appeared in its annual first Friday in March procession for the first time. It also survived trips to Ceuta, Gibraltar, Valencia, Barcelona, Genoa etc. before being accidentally rescued again by the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War. Its current location--the Basilica de Jesus Mendinaceli- was consecrated in 1930. Note that while the entrance queue is blocks long it moves pretty quickly. We waited approximately 20 minutes to enter. When we did the queue to the statue on the second floor took another 10 minutes or so. Mondrileños believe that the statue is miraculous and queue to kiss its feet and to make three requests. A mass was occurring when we attended and the basilica was completely full. There are a number of beautiful side chapels and another in the basement worth viewing. This is a beautiful statue and basilica with a large and very devout following. Make an effort to visit this basilica! We are sure you will be glad that you did!!

you don't believe and just wish to talk "to yourself" about all your worries, sorrows, pains and doubts, go and have a sit in that basilica. Luxury despoiled, clean and wide, you have there a place to hear you thinking. And you know? I did so and I was heard, Now I'm in peace...

How to describe this area? Well, its grown over the famous Khao San Road (nothing fancy, Raw Rice Road, that's it). Low-cost tourism business was booming so it grew to near blocks.

We had a birthday party for 50 guests at the resort. What a spectacular location! After the party, my wife and I headed off to one of the glamping sites. We had never "glamped" previously. First checking in was friendly and efficient. Secondly we were led to a golf buggy. We the drove for about 15 mins across sheep paddocks to our glampsite Tussock Hut. What a spectacular location. The hut was fully kitted out in luxury and the fridge fully stocked with food, beer and wine. There was a gas barbie for cooking There was also a capsule coffee maker. The bed was giant and very soft. Outside was a bath - yes under the stars, two hammocks and two cape cod chairs. It was all sublime. Note entirely off grid. No cellphone or wifi. The sound system had lots of music covering all tastes. For dinner we cooked steak, potatoes etc. For breakfast we did bacon, eggs, tomatoes etc. All included in the price. This is definite if you want to escape the world. It's totally private. Highly recommended and will do again.

Sensational rooms let down by indifferent staff. The pool was out of action but we were not told until after we had checked in when we were handed a piece of paper as if there was now nothing we could do about it. More than a bit unfair. A huge tantrum on my part illicited a 35percent discount on the rate after a new front desk manager Raul took some responsibility but the damage was done I’m afraid. The business room we had was pretty stunning but it’s just as well because the staff need their hands holding at all times to make anything happen.

The Church of Jesus de Medinaceli is one of the most important churches in Madrid because it has the statue of Jesus de Medinaceli, donated to the church by the aristocratic Medinaceli Family. The statue is venerated by the Madrileños and is supposed to have created many miracles.

I can not fault this place. My partner took me here for a birthday surprise on Friday 10 Oct 2014. When we arrived, we were greeted by name. The lovely woman at the reception desk knew to keep secret the surprise planned for the next morning, so spoke in code to my partner about where to meet and what not. From the get-go, without prompting, had my lactose intolerance reconfirmed upon check in also. Stayed in room 21, an ocean view studio which with the large ceilings, made the room feel a lot bigger than it actually was, so didn't feel like the small studio was claustrophobic. Great view of the ocean and the sunset from our veranda. The food at this place was superb. We had 2 dinner options and a breakfast option included in our package. When we added everything all up, the majority of the price paid for the accommodation was actually towards the 5 star quality food served in the restaurant. Our waitress (same for dinner and breakfast) offered to move us closer to the window after the table had cleared (we had only just been served our entre so no issue to move), knew what food items I wouldn't be able to eat due to my dietary requirements and had on hand alternatives that the chef was able to make in stead. The birthday surprise after breakfast was archery. I was surprised to see so many activities on offer at this place. The guy we had for this was super friendly, chatting away to us about the new things going on at the resort, funny stories about past guests (archery related) and had we not of complained like Aucklanders that our arms and fingers were getting sore from the bows, would have let us keep shooting until our hearts were content. I can not rate this place highly enough. Happily recommend to anyone wanting a quite night/weekend away, beautiful backdrop for a wedding or wanting to surprise that special someone.

Good location not far from tube station & walking distance of Sagrada Familia. Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms clean and reasonably spacious. Breakfast ok with selection of cereals, pastries, eggs etc. Could do with a kettle / hot drink making facilities in the bedrooms.

Surprisingly colorful and bright church in Barrio de Las Letras.

Of course, this area is known for several tourist attractions.

This is a nice church in the heart of Madrid, very close to Neptuno Square.

Had a really enjoyable day & night in the old backpacker area of Bangkok.

We stayed in Cala Blanes which is close by and there is a nice coastal walk provided to link the towns together - recommend this stroll. We visited the marina area in Cuitedella a few times during our two week holiday and enjoyed it each occasion. There are lots of restaurants along the marina which provide a lot of options on food quality, type and price so something for everyone in terms of breakfast, lunch or dinner.

My daughter & new son-in-law recently held their wedding at Castaways and from the moment we all arrived we were not only greeted by stunning views but also by a very hospitable and accommodating staff. Roddy in particular was exceptional and I can't thank him enough for the long hours and huge effort he afforded us to ensure the wedding was a success. The food at Castaways is excellent and the menu caters very well for vegetarians with flexible, viable options available and a chef who is happy to oblige. We were there three days and the meals were consistently excellent. The wine list is very good with several local wines available too. A large group of us booked for a Clay-bird shoot on the Sunday and Frosty Frost, the gentleman in charge was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and safety conscious. I would highly recommend anyone keen to give it a go no matter what age! Frosty entertained us with little snippets of information and funny stories from his past. The rooms are comfortable, clean and the heat pump provides a cosy environment on colder days. Internet connection is difficult because of the location and the TV is very small, however the outdoor activities, the beautiful beach, the stunning sunsets and my book was all I required after the wedding. I have it on good authority that the Baisanti Spa is worth a visit for some pampering too. If you have a special event or just want to get away for a few days and get back to nature I would highly recommend Castaways as a fantastic choice!

I live around the corner of this church and pass by very often, I can't help myself to enter many times during a week just to sit there in the quiet, contemplating g this mesmerising black Jesus and meditating about my own life, I'm not practitioner of religion but these moments bring me peace.

I think this is one of the nicest place where to stay at night in bangkok. It's easy to arrive both by tuktuk and by boat (pier 13). The atmosphere is warm and relaxed. Making exception of the most crowded street with live music and thousands of people having fun ... all the rest of the area is quite, with good restaurants and wow street food (highly recommended here!), affordable massages and lanterns anywhere. Enjoy a Chang beer in a bar on the street and relax your soul here.

Had a very enjoyable 4 night stay at Room Mate Gerard. Great location, near to bus stops and Metro and plenty of eating places. Staff were very welcoming. Bedroom was comfortable & clean & air conditioning worked well. Breakfasts were excellent.

I was attending a wedding here recently and wife & I decided to stay the night. I'd been here before to another function and raved about how lovely it was so wife & I decided to book a room for the night. We went to check in early, but room was not available and it was the last room to be cleaned. On getting to the chalet we couldn't believe the view - Stunning! the Chalet was modern, well laid out and had everything you would need - even a washer / drier. I looked around the lounge for the TV - then discovered it was very high on the wall...almost hanging from the ceiling. This would be my ony criticizm of the place as you really had to strain your neck upwards to watch the TV. The bed was comfortable and we both really enjoyed our over night stay here. We would happily stay here again.

Starting route from main Avennue circular rounsbout road connected to Phra Arthit and Samsaen plus Khaosarn road area. These Bunglumpoo location is a mix of touchy treandy feeling style.

We decided to go out for the day to the cuitadella as it had been described as having a good market. Let's start there - approx 15-20 stalls all selling the same items not a great visit to purchase gifts for home. The shopping area is nice but VERY expensive. The church/cathedral is nice to look around and very flat so good for prams and wheelchair access. The monastery part which comes with the ticket price is more an art gallery than a sight seeing opportunity. We walked down to the marina area where there are plenty of restaurants. All seemed decent value and the one we stopped at (at the very end) was very nice. Only negative is there was a few steps to get to it. Ok to carry a pram down but not sure there was an alternative for wheelchair users. It's ok for a half day wander to break up your holiday but not much to write home about.

Dit is niet de eerste keer dat Pam en ik een cruise maken om de zeehonden te zien. De nieuwere, grotere boot heeft meer comfortabele zitplaatsen binnen waardoor je het voorbijglijdende landschap uit de wind kunt zien. Er is voldoende dekruimte buiten om de ontelbare zeehonden te bekijken en te fotograferen als de kolonie is bereikt.

Leuke ervaring! Ik heb genoten van de gratis cake en koffie.

Evenement werd geannuleerd door de exploitant, maar toen werd mij gevraagd contact op te nemen met Headout om een terugbetaling te regelen - dit had naadloos moeten gebeuren zonder de onhandige ervaring die ik had.

Het was geweldig om een volledig vrouwelijke bemanning te zien en bedankt voor een geweldige ervaring. Het was beter dan mijn zwemmen met zeehonden in WA omdat ik meer zag op deze reis

Geweldige interactieve en goed geïnformeerde tour. Veel tijd voor interactie met de zeehonden en geweldig commentaar over het leven en de locatie van de zeehonden.

De hele ervaring. De bemanning was vriendelijk en informatief over de natuur en de zeehonden. De bemanning bleef bij iedereen checken of ze iets nodig hadden of dat het goed met ze ging. Ze hadden alle benodigdheden voor reisziekte beschikbaar, veiligheidsvest was netjes geïnstrueerd en wat te doen wanneer. Seals Rock zat vol met zeehonden, de reis waard, plus de taart was erg lekker en vochtig.

Het personeel was geweldig bedankt

Deze jongens waren geweldig, ze wisten wat ze deden en het was een geweldige ervaring, al het personeel was fantastisch en de schipper toonde uitzonderlijke vaardigheid om zo'n groot schip in en rond de rotsen te krijgen om de zeehonden te zien, de informatie en feiten die tijdens de tour werden gegeven waren geweldig en we kregen hopen zeehonden te zien. Ik zou dit bedrijf ten zeerste aanbevelen voor al hun tours.

Alles goed Alles was perfect alleen de boot vertrok niet op tijd

Leuk, informatief en spannend om de zeehonden van zo dichtbij te zien.

De zeehondencruise was ongelooflijk! Honderden zeehonden! Ik ben meerdere keren bij de Nobbies geweest en wist dat de zeehondenrots daar was, maar de zeehonden waren met het blote oog niet te zien vanaf de wal. Zo blij dat we besloten om deze cruise te maken. Een echte aanrader! En het personeel was erg vriendelijk en deskundig!
