Great trip but take precautions if you get travel sickness.

Excellent trip. Guide was fantastic, scenery amazing, stops were ideal. Just be aware, Coast Road is very undulating with lots of bends, those who get motion sickness may need to ask if they can sit in the front (happened on our trip but no problems as the chap who was ill moved to the front and all was okay).

Worth every minute!

We spent an awesome day with our guide Chris. He knew lots of interesting facts and stories about the various attractions to tell 🤩 As we were at the attractions well before the coaches we could take pictures without the crowds much easier👌🏼

Highly recommended

Very efficiently run tour, pick up arrived early so no worries about whether in the right place, small numbers and plenty of information about what to expect. Itinerary is great, lots of stops of varying lengths, starting with a breakfast/loo stop at about 8.30am. Although it’s a long day with a lot of miles covered the frequency of the breaks means the journey passes quickly. The sights are amazing, and our lovely guide (Jimmy) also took us to see kangaroos and koalas, which was a bonus. Lunch stop is good with delicious seafood or other options plus a few shops to browse (quickly, as this is definitely not a shopping trip!). Would thoroughly recommend the Reverse Itinerary tour and would say that Jimmy was a truly excellent guide - lots of interesting information but he also let us chill/sleep at the beginning and end of the journey. Great driver too!
