Our touring philosophy 

At Go West Tours our mission is to provide Melbourne’s most entertaining, informative and memorable day tours. We recognise that all too often, day tours are little more than a shuttle bus between photo opportunities. We have therefore set out to ensure that our journey is itself a significant part of the touring experience. Our guides are hand-picked and comprehensively trained to provide you with a truly memorable Australian experience.  

What our customers have said 

“So much more than we expected. Brilliant value!” “It’s easy to see why Go West won the tourism award. Well done!” “Old fashioned service and amazing scenery. Unforgettable!”  We challenge you to find another operator that provides all this:

 For peace of mind when enjoying Melbourne sightseeing, choose Go West Tours, “Melbourne’s leading small group touring company”. The entertainment revolution is here… The drive home from the Great Ocean Road is quite long, so with the sightseeing highlights behind you, why not take advantage of our free unique entertainment package.

Enjoy our unmatched range of international and local movie titles, learn some more about the Great Ocean Road, or play a game on your very own Sony Play Station Portable (PSP). Your ride home on the bus will be every bit as memorable as the day’s sightseeing. Please note: We require a passport, credit card or Australian driver’s licence to be deposited with your guide as security for your PSP.
