I had a great experience using the Melbourne City Express airport transfer service during my recent visit to Melbourne.
A special thank you to the staff member who assisted us, whose name I believe was Grace or Heather. She was friendly, patient, and very helpful from the moment we arrived. She answered our questions clearly, guided us to the correct coach, and made the boarding process smooth and stress-free. Her warm attitude gave us a wonderful first impression of Melbourne.
The service was efficient and comfortable. I would definitely recommend it, especially for solo travellers or those with standard luggage.
One suggestion is that larger groups with several bulky suitcases might find an Uber more suitable, as the luggage storage space on the coach is limited and can become quite crowded.
Overall, a great experience. Thank you to Grace or Heather and the Melbourne City Express team for your excellent service!

The pickup point is very close to the CBD and just a few tram stops away. Before your activity, you will receive an email telling you where to wait. There is no need to arrive too early because the vehicle arrives right on time. It takes about an hour and a half to get to the skydive location. Upon arrival, you will watch an instructional video, followed by registration and gearing up for the jump. The whole process is very quick. I arrived around 9:30 AM that day and was able to catch the bus back to the city by 12:45 PM. If you purchase the photo and video package, you will generally get all your media within about half an hour after the jump. The whole experience is quite efficient and a lot of fun, though whether the photos and videos turn out well is really a matter of luck. They claim to give you over 300 photos, but whether every single one is usable is another story. All in all, for anyone who has never tried it before, the value for money is pretty decent.

Arrived the area at 9.47am and there was no one around so I was quite stressed about not getting the correct pick up location. It would be good if the email could include a picture of the pick up point. Other than that, best tour I had so far. Ride on the train was okay. Good to experience as a first time tourist in Australia, especially since our country does not have operating steam trains. Wish we had more time at the gift shop at Puffing Billy. It started raining on our way to Philip Island. It was very very cold so my mom and I left the viewing area very quickly after spotting some penguins. Video and photography is not allowed. Neither are umbrellas or standing up. They are quite strict on that so that we do not startle the penguins in their habitat. Our guide Simon was the best. Kept us all entertained and interacted with us, making sure everyone was alright.

A MUST DO! Instead of Belgrave, we departed from Lakeside and stopped over at Gembrook. I dont know what I am missing at Belgrave but I am super thankful I chose Lakeside. Driving there was easy, parking spaces aplenty, station was nice with a cafe and a mini museum and just a walk or short drive you can get to the Lake area for a walk. Gembrook is a super charming small town too! We walked around and settled at a cafe called Gracie's and had some scones and hot drinks before we took the train back to Lakeside. I thoroughly enjoyed this trip because it was sooo peaceful. I highly recommend you try the same route too!

Visited SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium on a weekday am and found the entry process smooth and hassle-free. Admission was quick by simply scanning the QR code from the Klook app, allowing us to enter without any waiting.
The aquarium itself is relatively small and has a more traditional, old-fashioned city aquarium feel compared to some of the newer attractions in Asia. There is a decent variety of marine life on display, making it an enjoyable visit for families w young children and casual visitors. School groups started arriving later in the am, so it was quieter and more pleasant to explore earlier in the day.
Unfortunately, the penguin section was closed for renovation during our visit, which was a disappointment as it is usually one of the main highlights of the aquarium. Despite this, there was still enough to see and do, and we spent around two hours exploring the exhibits at a comfortable pace.

This is the 1st time I joined a Great Ocean Road Tour. The whole tour was great even if initially had some problems with the seating. Our tour guide was Augustine very knowledgeable and good driver but strict with time. We are able to see koalas on trees and we are very lucky to see one in the road passing by. The weather is also good during our tour. I highly recommend this Great Ocean Road Tour by Bus and Coach Charter

What to know before visiting Melbourne
Melbourne in a nutshell: what travellers book and when
Melbourne draws most bookings for Tours, Zoos & aquariums, and Museums, with Outdoor activities and Historical sites also popular. Demand rises and falls through the year, peaking in August and dipping in February, so the city’s visitor rhythm is a mix of busy winter months and much quieter late-summer periods.
When to visit: peak, quiet months and price movement
Klook booking data shows demand peaks in August and is lowest in February. Prices move through the year too: according to Klook data May tends to be among the priciest months while February is typically the cheapest, and prices generally drift down from spring into the late-summer trough before rising again into autumn. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, plan for February or the surrounding late-summer months; if you prefer peak-season atmosphere and events, August and September offer the busiest conditions. Demand and prices don’t always match exactly here—August is busiest while May can be pricier—so choose based on whether crowd levels or price sensitivity matters more to you.
Tips for travellers
Most visitors book around five days ahead on Klook, with many last-minute options available as late as one day out, so there’s flexibility for spontaneous plans but booking within a week gives more choice. For travel during the busiest months named above, consider locking in popular tours and experiences a few weeks ahead to secure preferred times. Use Klook to compare options across the top categories—Tours, Zoos & aquariums and Museums—to build an itinerary that matches your timing and budget.
