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 have taken these tours in most cities visited and have found them a great way to get an overview of a new city. We considered this one poor value overall with too few stops and gaps between tours too lengthy. The city tour was much better than the St Kilda one. Other annoying things - location of stops did not always match what was indicated on maps; cleanliness of buses left a lot to be desired. Overall we would NOT recommend - particularly given other transport and info options available.

Ricardo and I want to thank Debby for the amazing time we had at the Great Ocean Road a week ago. The tour was well organized and, it included nice spots that are not usually included in other companies' tours. You will be amazed by the last spot of the tour. I can't tell you much, but I can guarantee that you will not regret it. Thanks Debby, you are the best!!
