Escape Discovery Adventures - Melbourne, VIC

Paul has gone above and beyond my expectations for this trip. My friend and I had a wonderful time the whole day we went to the Apostles. Paul is a very kind, knowledgeable and a funny man. Everything you could ask for in a tour guide. He is truly a very kind person that loves what he does because you can just tell. He made my trip and it was the last event we had planned for Melbourne so it left us very happy before we went back home. I want to keep saying how kind and funny he is because I feel your typical tour guides make you feel like your a hassle and like it is just a job they want to get over with as soon as possible but Paul really makes you just feel like a friend that wants to have a good day with you and teach you stuff along the way. I learned so much this trip as well from him! I would love to book with him again in future he was just wonderful! Thanks Paul!

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Melbourne. Paul was an absolutely fantastic tour guide and truly made this experience one of a kind. He is incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, funny, and kind and took this trip to the next level. He also cares greatly about the health and safety of his guests. If I could give more than 5 stars I would, and definitely recommend this trip with Paul to anyone and everyone seeking a day trip to the Great Ocean Road. My partner and I had such an incredible experience thanks to him. He’s also a great photographer!!

This tour was nothing less than sensational. Paul Anderson is everything that one could ask for in a guide. He is witty and full knowledge of the history as well as the flora and fauna of the south coast of Australia.

Each traveler on the Great Ocean Road tour is made to feel like an honored guest. From morning tea at a secluded beach, to a guided walk through a rain forest to the grand finale at the Apostles, Paul saw to it that everything was done in a first class manner. We had sufficient time at each stop to take in the sights and marvel at the beauty of the scenery. We even saw koalas in the trees by the Kennet River

The small group setting in a clean and comfortable Mercedes made the time fly by. We could not have been more pleased with our selection of Escape Discovery Adventures!

Great trip to Phillip Island including hand-feeding wallabies/ kangaroos and the Penguin Parade. Paul was knowledgeable but also was patiently and warm with all the passengers. It was a very comfy van and a fantastic day experience, thanks again Paul

We had an extraordinary day with Escape Discovery Adventure Tours, guided by Alex, exploring the Great Ocean Road and the Twelve Apostles. Our small group enjoyed maximum comfort aboard a very comfortable bus. The tour was impeccably organized, with well-chosen stops, such as the charming café in the morning and a delicious Fish and Chips lunch in a typical setting at noon. The multiple stops allowed us to discover the various aspects of this magnificent coastline, including encounters with koalas and kangaroos in the wild, the rainforest, and a variety of breathtaking viewpoints to admire the Twelve Apostles. Alex, our guide, was simply perfect: kind, professional, and attentive. Even our 11-year-old daughter said it was the best excursion of her life. We are grateful for this memorable experience and highly recommend Escape Discovery Adventure Tours and Alex to anyone looking to explore this spectacular region.

We had a great tour of the Ocean Road with Adam Firth leading us. The Ocean Road is a must do, and I strongly recommend doing it with Escape Discovery Adventures. Adam was a great tour guide. He was very entertaining; he provided interesting history and stories, and was willing to answer all questions. He even spotted kangaroos and koalas for us, The Escape Discovery tour van was really comfortable and the navy van was easy to spot in a sea of white buses and vans. And, of course, the locations are breathtaking… highly recommended!

Absolutely breathtaking tour and so informative. Did the one day great ocean road tour and it was amazing. So glad we did this as we didn't have much time in Melbourne - hands down the best thing we did whilst here. Loved it.

This was a fantastic trip. Booked fairly last minute when first trip to Great Ocean Road was cancelled at short notice. Paul was super quick to confirm tour with easy pick up details. Small group of ten with loads of information. Met some lovely people. Paul was a fabulous driver and guide with great mixture of info and humour. Really tasty lunch included and a breakfast snack box. I was a single traveller. Felt very included. If you are looking for a Great Ocean Road trip do this one. And I’m guessing the other trips he does are also worth doing. I ran out of time otherwise I’d have been to Philips Island in a shot. Thank you Paul.
