Kylie was a very good guide for us.
She is one of the actual owners of the company along with her husband Rob
so it’s a family run operation.
well organized and coordinated.
We got a an excellent cross-section of the city of Melbourne in many areas that was Designed for anything we wanted to do. They also have several other tours that they do including Phillips Island penguins great ocean Road and others.
Her husband is 20 years and her 10 years of experience made her an excellent choice as they had great knowledge of the area which led to a fun day for us.

Okay tour but felt way overpriced. Guide had basic knowledge but didn’t have confidence in answers to questions. At least twice was given misinformation.

Rob was great! Very friendly and very knowledgeable! He customized the tour just as I requested! Awesome job!

We had a fantastic time exploring Melbourne’s eclectic food scene with Jeanie! She is super knowledgeable about Melbourne’s restaurants and history.
Although we aren’t a particularly adventurous bunch, our favorites were the crocodile, chocolate, and oysters. She effortlessly balanced a party of 8, all with different paletes, able to accommodate, adjust on the go, and find something for everyone. Some food tours only give small portions, but we were given very generous portions and walked away incredibly full and satisfied.
Additionally, we loved talking with the whole group, as well as the passionate restauranteurs who gave us more insight about their amazing food. We got way more than we bargained for - book this food tour, request Jeanie, and you’re sure to have a great time!

We were notified in advance of our tour time and that our Guide would be Adam and where to meet. We were getting off of our ship and Adam was already waiting in the designated area. We discussed what we wanted to see and he was very helpful in coming up with an excellent itinerary. We were able to feed kangaroos and wallabies, and had our picture taken with a koala. We visited the infamous beach houses, street art and toured the city center. Thank you Adam for a wonderful tour!

Allen_L, Mar 2024
Had a great day with Andrew, our driver and guide for the day. He drove us all around showing us a lot of beautiful Melbourne. Went to Brighton Beach to see the $400,000 storage shacks, the amusement park, the Shrine of Remembrance, the Royal Botanic Gardens and stopped for coffee and pastries at a great Italian place. He was also very accommodating as we needed to make a couple of errand stops.
Cody_Y, Mar 2024
Our Melbourne sights and sounds tour was wonderful with Andy as our guide! His vast knowledge and love for Melbourne made it that much more special. Highly recommend!
Carole_P, Mar 2024
12FEB24, We chose this tour because we wanted to see Melbourne AND go to a Sanctuary-Zoo-To see the Kangaroos and Koalas. In the description of the tour it says ''Customize this tour exactly how you’d like it'' So Contacted Rob and he made it happen! The sanctuary was extra and 3 hrs more but it was very reasonable. What a beautiful day and experience that we had. This was a private tour, we spent about 7 hrs together, we did not regret. Weather was hot ( 37 C) other than that, very nice day.
Melbourne is a must to see, the history and culture and art so beautiful. Rob made it very interesting.
Rob was so knowledgeable, flexible and friendly, he was part of our little group :).
Ideliza_C, Feb 2024
Enjoyed the sights in Melbourne. Peter was a great tour guide. Very kind. Had a great time at Queen Victoria’s market.
PENNYL_B, Feb 2024
We had a great time traveling with Rob through Melbourne and surrounding areas. He made sure that we saw everything from the best places. Traffic was bad, but he was tenacious. Especially loved going to Brighton Beach and seeing the bath boxes. Great day.
Geraldine_M, Feb 2024
sWe had an absolutely wonderful time touring Melbourne with Kylie ! The Sights and Sounds tour is the way to go and having a comfortable ride in Kylie's most comfortable Mercedes is the best way to see the Melbourne including the beach areas. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you have only a few days in Melbourne as it is so efficient to have someone take you around. Kylie is so knowledgeable of the area and very easy to talk to. You cannot go wrong with this tour company!!
Esther_B, Feb 2024
Our group of 8 had a lovely morning with our guide Kylie. We explored the city at a leisurely pace. Kylie kept us organized and comfortable. We loved our snacks from Queen Victoria Market. This is a great introduction to Melbourne. Would highly recommend .

Our first trip to the beautiful city of Melbourne was amazing thanks in large part to our tour guide, Jennifer. She could not have been more delightful, knowledgeable and accommodating. She really worked hard to provide a custom tour designed around out interests. We saw gorgeous parks and beaches and enjoyed a great lunch together at a bustling local eatery. The food was absolutely delicious. A very memorable day. We left as very satisfied customers.

What a wonderful way to explore Melbourne! Our guides were fantastic and personable. They were fun and provided information in a conversational style. We got the tastes, the sounds and the vibe of this lovely city. Highlights included a walkabout the Victoria Market, a visit to St. Patrick's Cathedral and walking along the Brighton Beach and seeing the famous Beach Houses, The Fitzroy Gardens were lovely. We highly recommend this tour and the company's ability to tailor it to personal preferences. Thank you for a fantastic day!

A big waste of money. Poor narrative of sights, did not exclude uninteresting areas as requested. Did not show and visit sights requested Showed up for pickup at 9am rather than 10:30 am time per stipulated in meetup time and aircraft arrival.

Kylie was a great tour guide. She took us to some spots I’m sure you would not see in a large group. I told her I like diet Dr Pepper and she stopped at an EZ Mart to see if I could find one, and she even tries to find another one for me. Nice personal touch.
Response from Host, Aug 2023

We had 2 wonderful tours with Rob. We did a tour around the outskirts (non CBD) of Melbourne as well as a wine and chocolate tour in the Yarra Valley. Rob was affable and worked on delivering more than we expected customizing the experience to hit any highlights or desires we both were seeking.
He drove a comfortable Mercedes Van and had snacks and drinks to boot. We will be back and will ask for Rob
