We did this tour in February 2020. We originally scheduled it for the 10th but one of our party took unwell and Kel went out of his way to help rearrange our tour for the 13th, once our group were fully fit. Kel and Mel were great hosts, sharing a lot of information and making us feel very welcome. By the end of the tour, I felt I'd seen a lot, had a great afternoon out and had made two new friends. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne.

My husband and I did a five-hour tour with Mark. He is very knowledgeable about Melbourne and Australia. We wanted to see as much of the area as we could in our limited time, so Mark made suggestions that worked out great. We especially enjoyed the interactions with the koalas and kangaroos at the Moonlit Sanctuary. Also the walking tour of the downtown alleyways, and the Brighton Beach bathing boxes. Mark went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and having a good time...he was even our private photographer. We highly recommend him!

We had a group of 9 in port on a cruise ship and Mark tailored a private tour for us based on specific sights and activities we were interested in. He was very informative and knowledgeable and his pre-tour coordination and communication via email and text was superb. I would highly recommend Mark for a private tour when you visit Melbourne.

10/10. The tour was informative, interesting and so so fun. The WTT team help you out so much with your travel plans as well as giving great advise if you’re looking to continue Aussie life working. WTT set you up with an Aussie SIM card, bank account and give you a two hour one on one to determine what you may wish to do once the trip has ended. Great help if you’re unsure what your plans are. The tour itself is so much fun and great value for money. Billy is a great guide with a good sense of humour, the trip was jam packed but never rushed and very relaxed. Surfing was a particular highlight for me personally and I can’t wait to take what I’ve learned from the lesson to the great ocean road (a trip WTT helped with too!) We made great friends along the way too. #Steffen65 eating 65 dumplings at the all you can eat dumpling restaurant was a very amusing highlight ❤️ Thank you guys for a fabulous week!!

We had a fantastic (and unexpected) tour with DM Concierge as all that we mentioned was that we liked culture and history to David in the initial emails. What we experienced was so much more than anything we could have imagined by heading to La Perouse for an immersive Aboriginal tour. John our guide, then took us back via Coogee for delicious cocktails and lunch before walking along the coast for about 20 minutes. This was definitely not the average tour of Sydney and that's what we loved about it.

As I work in the racing industry, my work colleagues were very jealous that I got a tour of Flemington racecourse. Driving round the Formula 1 GP track and visiting the MCG made my day. The only drawback was that the main courts at the Rod Laver arena were closed off due to the fact that the Australian Open had just finished the previous weekend.

After a technical hitch in February we had rebooked our Sporting tour with brewery tasting for today. And can I say what a great day we both had. Tamara our driver was very knowledgeable as was Jess. The flemington race course was outstanding with the great sunny day. A trip around part of the Albert Park F1 track in the Hiace at full noise lol. Then off to the MCG for a sporting tour with Rod our guide who was great and showed and explained everything to us. Then a very nice lunch at a pub in Richmond followed by a beer tasting. A most enjoyable day and we are looking forward to booking another tour in the future. Thank you guys for a very memorable day. We highly recommend this tour.
