“I think the tour quality depends on the drive of the van. There were times that I think the tour guide thought we were either in a coma for the past 20 years or we were a group of 3rd graders. I know what a cow is. I know what a wind turbine is. The sights are amazing. The 12 apostles is incredibly magical. Nothing more beautiful. It is a long drive but if you don't want to rent a car. It is worth it to see the Coast.”
