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.

This was a gorgeous way to see the city from a whole new perspective. As first time stand up paddle boarders they equipped up properly, taught us what to do and turned us loose to have fun. Board rental costs were excellent. We loved the city views, the very cute penguins, the big ones expensive yachts (see how the other half lives!) and the exhilarating feeling of success when we stood up. Definitely the place to go stand up paddle boarding in Melbourne! And COVID safety was definitely considered and acted upon.

View was spectacular! If you want to see Melbourne in a different way, like 1500ft above, this helicopter ride is highly recommended. There was only 2 of us when we had the tour, so its like we have our own private helicopter to see Melbourne's CBD and shore line! Do not hesitate to try it! You should book now.

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.
7. Nightlife In Melbourne: St Kilda
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
By day the ocean side suburb of St Kilda is known to be a bustling seaside playground, where locals and tourists come in droves to grab a piece of the beach lifestyle; but by night, the other side of St Kilda’s personality comes out to play. Hip, but without the hipsters, this neighbourhood comes alive at dusk when its historic pubs, live music venues and trendy wine ocean view wine and cocktail bars open their doors. Once the tourists have headed back into the city centre, St Kilda’s local vibe can really start to be felt as locals from all over the city heard into the neighbourhood to revel in its (in)famous pubs, listen to live music by up and coming as well as established artists and party long into the night!
Inclusions: Private and personalised itenary, 4-hours in the city with a host, 2 drinks chosen by yours truly, Authentic local knowledge and insights, Walking experience (if required, your host can suggest public transport or private taxi options), Hotel meet-up (available on request for central location)
Exclusions: Your food and drinks, Tickets to any attractions, Transportation costs (additional to the ones included in the experience), Gratuities

Forget the 'sites' and 'attractions', Melbourne is a city built for locals. This is your perfect, personalised deep-dive into local culture and life through food and street art - the two things we do as well as anyone. This is not a group tour done in private, we have no script and no fixed itinerary. We take the time to get to know you and make the experience personal so it's exactly what you're looking for. It's an excellent 'day one' adventure that will change the way you experience Melbourne ...and it's perfect for people who don't like tours. WHAT TO EXPECT *Get orientated & gain unique local insight through food, art & storytelling *Meet the makers - the roasters, bakers, artists & innovators *Explore the backstreets, lanes & arcades of inner Melbourne *Visit neighbourhoods & local boroughs where Melburnians like to spend time *A friendly, well-connected & informed local host *Get personalised recommendations for how to spend the rest of your time
Inclusions: A progressive grazing meal of local treats... coffee, pastries, cheese, chocolate, gelato, market fresh produce and anything else you love - this is a private tour after all., Private transportation, WiFi on board, All Fees and Taxes
