What are people saying about Melbourne

Premium Great Ocean Road Tour Reverse with Pickup - Max 10-14

Todd_N, Nov 2026

An excellent sampling on the nature outside Melbourne

This was an excellent tour! I’m not usually interested in group tours but this was a great choice when I only had one extra day in Melbourne. We saw a good cross section of the natural area outside Melbourne—beaches, koalas, kangaroos, the rainforest—and yet it didn’t feel rushed. We had the right amount of time at each stop. The reverse itinerary and small group size helped too. But perhaps the best reason to choose this tour over others was the guide. He was great! Very knowledgeable about the local geography and history and a good storyteller. It helped us feel more connected to the places we visited. I highly recommend!

Phillip Island Penguin Parade Day Tour from Melbourne

Maneshae_F, Nov 2026

This ended up being one...

This ended up being one of my favourite experiences in Melbourne. Rhys was an excellent guide; he shared lots of interesting little tidbits of information throughout the day which made some of the more monotonous parts of the journey fly by. The Brighton beach boxes were the first stop and probably not somewhere I would have thought to visit on my own; great spot for photos! The Moonlit Sanctuary allowed us to see koalas, kangaroos, and so many unique Australian animals up close. The Penguin Parade was the perfect way to end the day. But be warned: you can't take photos to protect the little ones, but it honestly makes you appreciate the experience even more. I'd recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne, especially if you're an animal lover.

Great walking tour

Great tour Hugo was great took us around all the inner city of Melbourne streets that we would never have found and gave loads of interesting information about the beginnings of Melbourne. We sopped for a drink which he took care of and never felt like we had walked for 3-4 hours ! So fun highly recommend Depot Adventures .

We had an incredible day...

We had an incredible day out and I would definitely book this tour again in the future. The whole trip was paced perfectly with a variety of stops that allowed us not only to see the great views from the coast but also Koalas, Kangaroos, and a beautiful forest. We stopped for lunch in a nice little town where the beach was amazing. The guide/driver was very informative, nice and also drove really well.

Great Ocean Road 12 APOSTLES Tour REVERSE–SML GRP- Hotel Pick UP

Chris_L, Oct 2026

Fun and insightful tour with Bill

Bill made it a great experience. He opened with a history of both Australia and the sites we would visit, so I arrived at each stop with context and a real appreciation for what I saw. Bill managed time well. He kept the day running smoothly. At each stop, he shared tips on the local food, the shops worth visiting, and the sites themselves. He also counted heads before every departure to make sure everyone was on the bus, which reassured me as a solo traveler. What stood out most was how much Bill cared about the people on the tour. He remembered each person’s name and details about them, and he showed genuine curiosity about who we were. That personal touch turned a good trip into a great one.

Full-Day Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles Tour

Climber16123571583, Oct 2026

A precious experience!

It was a truly wonderful tour. It was long, but it was very good to go. Recommended great tours! The large bus was full, and since I was the only one participating, I shared a seat with others. The guide does both driving and guiding, which was very surprising! The guidance was very easy to understand, and the story was interesting! The sea is wonderfully beautiful and moving! We will have lunch freely at Apollo Bay. The 12 apostles also felt the greatness of nature and history. I even saw a wild koala from the car window, what a precious experience! Depending on the season, the wind along the coast can be strong and cold, so you might need a jacket. Also, I took a bus from the Immigration Museum, but there are no restrooms nearby, so you should go to the restroom beforehand. The first stop is Chocolate Factory, and it's about a two-hour bus ride to get there. It's a system where, while in the car on the way to the Chocolate Factory, you select your favorite menu (coffee, cocoa, brownie, etc.) from a QR code, and you receive the freshly made item when you arrive. It's a very good system for saving time, and the coffee I ordered was very delicious.

Recommended one-day tours in Melbourne

This tour allowed us to see rare Australian animals, enjoy the beautiful coastal landscapes, beaches, and sunsets, and have a fun time. There weren't as many penguins as I expected, but a few that waddled close enough for me to watch a performance of them being washed by the waves or falling over. The guide's explanation was good too.

Puffing Billy & Rainforest Tour from Melbourne

Nadine_B, Sep 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

Hot Air Balloon Flights over Melbourne City (optional breakfast)

hot air balloon ride Melbourne

Simply unforgettable experience! The hot air balloon day in Melbourne, flying over the CBD area, was something magical and difficult to describe in words. From the very first moment you can feel great professionalism and passion on the part of the staff, who immediately put you at ease and explain every phase of the flight with clarity and tranquility. Once in the air, the view is breathtaking: the silence, the colors of nature and the view from above make the experience unique and relaxing, almost out of time. Everything is perfectly organized, from the initial preparation to the final landing. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to treat themselves or give a special, romantic and really exciting moment. A memory that remains in the heart! special thanks to our pilot Nick kind, helpful, professional person
