What are people saying about Melbourne

Gavin_D, Jun 2026

Great tour, highly recommended

This was an awesome tour with so many great sights. Tim, our guide, was very informative, friendly and made sure we got everywhere on time. We had good amounts of time in each location, plus there was a bonus option to do a Twelve Apostles helicopter trip. Prepare for a long day - I was picked up at 7.10am and got back to my hotel at 8.45pm - but absolutely worth it.

Great Ocean Road Reverse Itinerary Boutique Tour - Max 12 Guests

Yiwen_S, Jun 2026

Amazing trip！

I had an amazing day on the Reverse Great Ocean Road tour. The itinerary was very well planned. Starting from the Twelve Apostles early in the day meant we could enjoy the views without large crowds. We visited beautiful places including the rainforest, and several coastal lookouts. Seeing wild kangaroos and koalas in their natural habitat was definitely a highlight. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the long drive enjoyable with interesting stories and local information. The pace of the tour was comfortable, and I never felt rushed at any stop. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne. It was a wonderful experience and a great way to explore one of Australia’s most beautiful regions.

Phillip Island Penguins & Wildlife Day Tour from Melbourne

Krish_K, Jun 2026

A 10/10 experience

It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. I had the opportunity to see Australia’s unique wildlife and visit some truly breathtaking scenic locations. The Penguin Parade was an unforgettable highlight, and the entire experience was made even more enjoyable thanks to our tour guide, Tim. His insightful commentary and interesting information about the places we visited added great value to the tour and made it both engaging and memorable.

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

Beatriz_R, Jun 2026

Quick overview of Phillip...

Quick overview of Phillip Island. We stopped at the Moonlight sanctuary on the way there where we could see a bunch of Australian animals. I'm not a big fan of zoos but I enjoyed this visit. I also loved the Nobbies, where we could see some penguins in their burrows. Very cute! And then the reason of the trip: the penguin parade! At this time of the year they don't come in thousands but in hundreds. Yet it was a thrilling experience to see them emerge from the water and group before marching. I just wish we could have had an extra hour or so to spend 30 mins more in the sanctuary and at the Nobbies.

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

Heidi_S, Jun 2026

No whining here

We had such a fun and memorable wine tour. The experience was engaging from start to finish, with plenty of great local anecdotes and thoughtful knowledge shared along the way. The wines were excellent, and I especially loved hearing about the different philosophies behind each winery, from their winemaking techniques and creative inspirations to the distinctive flavours each wine was designed to embody. It was a wonderful way to discover the region, learn more about the craft, and enjoy some truly beautiful local wines.

Puffing Billy And Phillip Island Penguin Parade Bus Tour

friendsofcarcourt, Jun 2026

Great experience. Highly recommended

We had a great day on this tour. Everything was very well organised, and Matt was an excellent guide and driver. He was friendly, informative, and engaging throughout the trip. There were enough breaks and toilet stops, which were clearly communicated in advance. Matt also went above and beyond to help guests spot wildlife and get good photos of the animals and penguins at Phillip Island. Although it was a long day, the tour was relaxed, comfortable, and well paced from start to finish. We would definitely recommend this tour!

Full-Day Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles Tour

Rachelle_F, Jun 2026

Simply stunning

Excellent tourguide Steve and very knowledgable about the coast and surrounds. We would have loved to do the rainforest and Apostles itself a bit longer of a stop and get back a bit later. However Steve insisted we made sure we saw everything on the tour so very thankful for that. Even seeing koalas in their natural habitat was great. But overall fantastic!

Puffing Billy And Healesville Sanctuary Scenic Tour

Thomas_P, Jun 2026

Incredible Wildlife and Scenic Train Ride!

Our tour was absolutely incredible! It was such a wonderful experience to see the Australian wildlife up close at Healesville Sanctuary; seeing the koalas and kangaroos was a real highlight. The historic Puffing Billy steam train ride offered truly amazing, scenic views. Highly recommended!

Puffing Billy & Rainforest Tour from Melbourne

Kiara_I, May 2026

Very nice experience :)

Our guide Matt was very knowledgeable and accommodated to everyone’s vibes- if you wanted to chat you could, but you could also relax in silence which was nice. He also communicated very clearly about the schedule and places we were going, and he still gave us an hour to explore after the Puffing Billy even though the boarding was delayed. Matt also got some really nice videos of the group on the train, so that was a very nice bonus and showed real professional care. The experience on the Puffing Billy was probably the highlight of our trip, the views were very pretty and the experience was unique. I would recommend having some wriggle time for any plans you might make after the guide, as in our experience, the Puffing Billy was almost an hour delayed due to a safety concern, although typically you wouldn’t have to wait that long. The staff at the Puffing Billy communicated very clearly and were very polite.

Puffing Billy Steam Train Experience

Kasia_T, Apr 2026

A Delightful Day on Puffing Billy with an Outstanding Guide

I had a wonderful experience on the Puffing Billy Railway tour with Cloe. Everything was exceptionally well organized—the tour started right on time, and the bus that picked us up from the city was clean and comfortable. Cloe truly made the experience stand out. She was not only a skilled driver but also an engaging and knowledgeable guide, keeping everyone entertained along the way. Her energy and warmth added a special touch to the trip. The one-hour train ride was absolutely delightful, taking us through beautiful eucalyptus forests, charming local villages, and the rolling hills on the outskirts of Melbourne. The scenery was peaceful and picturesque—exactly what you hope for on a heritage train journey. Overall, it was a fun and memorable experience, especially for families with kids. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something relaxing, scenic, and a little bit magical

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
