With its abundance of breweries and bars, Melbourne is a mecca for beer lovers. Visit some of the bars favored by locals on a private craft beer tour that promises to take you off the beaten path. Taking a private tour means that you’ll benefit from the undivided attention of a guide and receive recommendations tailored to your craft beer preferences.

A hot air balloon ride over Melbourne offers unprecedented views of the city’s attractions including the MCG, Shrine of Remembrance, and Albert Park. This early morning flight, which departs at dawn and includes a complimentary breakfast, elevates an already special experience to an unforgettable one. The perfect way to see the city for travelers looking for something unique and luxurious.

Check out the sunrise over Melbourne, checking out the city’s iconic buildings from the sky. See the MCG, Albert Park Formula 1 racetrack, and the curving Yarra River as you float in the soft morning light. Not many people get to see this city with a bird’s-eye view, so make sure to keep your cameras ready to take photos to show those who aren’t able to make it.

The Great Ocean Road is home to the Twelve Apostles, one of the best places to visit from Melbourne. However, doing a day trip there on your own can be tiring, between driving and working out how to structure your itinerary. Take a customizable private tour, and you no longer have to worry about that; just tell your guide what you want to see, and they handle it for you.
