Go West Tours

About Go West Tours

Go West Tours makes it easy to see Victoria’s best spots without dealing with logistics. Their guides are approachable, the pacing is well thought out, and the stops are more than just quick photos. Whether you’re heading to the Great Ocean Road, Phillip Island, or the Grampians, the experience feels personal but not overly scripted. It’s a practical way to cover a lot of ground with less stress.

When to visit

Autumn gives you cooler weather, clear roads, and fewer crowds at popular stops. It’s a good balance between comfort and scenery.

Most popular: March - April

Spring · Sep, Oct, Nov

Spring is a great time to explore regional Victoria. The landscapes are green, waterfalls are running strong, and the weather is mild. Tours to places like the Great Ocean Road or the Dandenong Ranges feel fresh without being too cold or too hot. Wildlife is more active and flowers line the trails.

Summer · Dec, Jan, Feb

Summer brings longer days and busy roads, especially along the coast. Early morning departures are common to beat the crowds and heat. It’s the right time for beach stops and scenic views but be prepared for warm weather and full lookout points. Booking ahead is smart during peak season.

Autumn · Mar, Apr, May

Autumn is ideal for most routes. The crowds ease off, the temperatures drop slightly, and the scenery starts to change—especially in places like the Grampians or wine regions. It’s a good season for hiking, sightseeing, and relaxed outdoor stops without needing to rush or escape the heat.

Winter · Jun, Jul, Aug

Winter means cooler days and fewer tourists. The pace is slower, and the misty weather adds atmosphere to forest drives and mountain views. While beach stops might be quick, places like Sovereign Hill, the Yarra Valley, and the Grampians still shine. Bring layers and enjoy having more space at each stop.
