What are people saying about Melbourne

From Melbourne: Puffing Billy Steam Train Experience

Anna_S, Oct 2026

An amazing day of Memories

We did this tour which also included the redwoods and winery. It actually lasted 9 hours rather than the predicted 6. David was an excellent guide who was friendly and knowledgeable of the local area, and we never felt rushed throughout the entire tour. He provided little conveniences such as hand wipes which I greatly appreciated when being in crowded public areas. You can not go wrong with this tour, it is just amazing!

Yarra Valley Half-Day Winery Tour from Melbourne with Small Group

Laura_B, Oct 2026

Nice Afternoon of Wine Tasting

An excellent introduction to Yarra valley wines. Jenny was an informative and thoughtful guide and handled the delay due to the freeway being closed very well. We were met at each winery with an area set up just for our group and had a little time to linger and get a glass of one at the first winery despite the delay. The van was one of the more comfortable ones that I have been on.

Full-Day Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles Tour

Alan_C, Oct 2026

Excellent day on Great Ocean Road!

Excellent day, even though it was a long time on the bus. The final two stops were “show stoppers.” 12 Apostles & gorge were amazing. We opted for the helicopter ride and glad we did. Not inexpensive, but a once in a lifetime opportunity! John was our driver+guide. How he’s able to stay SO upbeat & funny for 12+ hrs I’ll never figure out. We thoroughly enjoyed this day.

Great Ocean Road

It was a great tour. You see a lot of different things along the Great Ocean Road, from seaside towns to rainforests to the 12 Apostles. We saw a lot of local animals including koalas and kangarooos. The tour is long but went by quickly and was very well paced. Our guide, Lucy, was phenomenal - she provided a lot of interesting facts about each location and its culture and history. She also remembered everyone’s name and where they came from.

A Fantastic Great Ocean Road Adventure – Wildlife, Ocean Views & Wonderful Company!

Noel, our driver and guide, was wonderful company and an excellent, safe driver. We absolutely loved the experience, made even better by sharing the journey with friendly fellow travelers from all around the world. We spotted kangaroos and koalas, dipped our feet in the ocean, and, of course, saw the Twelve Apostles (well, a few fewer than twelve! 😊). It was a fantastic experience, full of beautiful sights and great company. Highly recommend — don’t miss it!

Great tour! Pick up was...

Great tour! Pick up was on time, and our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Melbourne and the tour stops. Time allotted for us to roam around and take photos was just right. I do hope the van came with a cup holder at least for our tumblers/coffee.

Full-Day Phillip Island Tour with Kangaroo, Koala and Penguin Parade

Eileen_N, Sept 2026

Be patient! You’ll see plenty of tiny penguins walking the Penguin Highway .

It was a full day of activities. Just remember to dress appropriately for the high winds and cold breezes when visiting the Nobbies and waiting for the Penguin Parade. At Moonlight Sanctuary you’ll get the best opportunity to see the koalas, kangaroos, dingos, and Tasmanian devils up close. There was even a rare albino kangaroo. The views are spectacular in the Nobbies area.

Puffing Billy & Rainforest Tour from Melbourne

Nadine_B, Sept 2026

Our pick up was a fuss...

Our pick up was a fuss free event with the amazing Alan who picked us up. The train ride was an absolutely wonderful with breathtaking views of the scenery. The locals get into it and wave as you go past them. It was such a memorable day that we glad we did. The walk in the rainforest was great as well. If you get Alan he made our trip fun and had so much knowledge and an awesome sense of humour

Olivia_M, Jan 2026

Go and do it!!

What an experience! Communication ahead of the day was great and clear. The crew were brilliant - fun but took your safety very seriously. Getting involved in setting up and taking down the balloon was very cool. The air balloon ride itself was magic - amazing to see the sunrise and also the city from above! Felt very comfortable and would highly recommend
