Grampians Sunset - Great Ocean Walk & Grampians 3 Day Private Tour

Great Ocean Walk + Grampians 3 Day Hike & Camp Tour – Jan 2020

With my new favourite family from Durango, Colorado

Trip Report & Photos

This was only the second time I organised this epic 3 day adventure that involves sightseeing along the Great Ocean Road, hiking 35km’s of the Great Ocean Walk from Blanket Bay to Johanna Beach and then spending a day in the Grampians National Park but this itinerary is quickly becoming my favourite to highlight the very best of Victoria to those groups and families from overseas looking for something unique.

Please see pictures from an awesome adventure with a fantastic family from Durango, Colorado.

Waiting for my guests to appear (you can just make out the trail in the top left hand corner of this image) It usually takes 90 minutes to make it to Parker Inlet so it's a great place for a quick break. — Parker Inlet from above.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jono went above and beyond to ensure that my family enjoyed Mornington and Great Ocean Road. He has been very accommodating to our family needs, and the little children also absolutely adored him! I would 200% recommend booking the private tour with Jono to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jono (Good Time Tours) is a must if you are looking for something a bit bespoke and not your average trip out of Melbourne.  Nothing was too difficult for Jono. From the suggested itinerary, the various pickups and then throughout the day, we had a knowledgeable local who shared his experiences with our group.  Thanks Jono.... legend!

Jono was very approachable, accommodating and flexible in terms of letting us choose our lunch destination. Each cellar door was very welcoming as Jono knew some of the winemakers and introduced us to them. Jono even went as far as suggesting this gorgeous spot for a great autumn pic. Overall everyone absolutely enjoyed their time and we will most likely book Jono again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an excellent trip to the Yarra Valley with Jono on Anzac Day. Nothing was too much trouble, from the initial enquiry the week before and arranging a tour that catered for the reduced mobility of two of our group. He was very flexible on the day as well. I would highly recommend touring with Jono.

Jono looked after us superbly throughout our wine tour in the Macedon Ranges. If you’re looking for a reliable and quality tour, hit up Jono!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We loved our 1 day winery tour in Heathcote. Jono had picked some great independent venues where you got to meet the owners and everything was well organised from start to finish. The bus was comfy and clean, price was very good value and Jono was a great host. Would definitely recommend!
