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!

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!

The Great Ocean Road day tour in Australia was a fantastic experience. The itinerary was very well-planned, and the timing was excellent, so we never felt rushed, yet we still got to see all the most worthwhile sights along the Great Ocean Road. We'd especially like to thank our tour guide, Michael Kim, who was incredibly professional, enthusiastic, and patient. Throughout the trip, he shared information about the attractions, history, and local characteristics along the way. At each stop, he also clearly communicated the meeting times and important notes in advance, making the entire journey very relaxed and worry-free. The scenery of the Great Ocean Road itself exceeded our expectations. The coastline, cliffs, beaches, and iconic landmarks like the Twelve Apostles were all breathtaking; every photo we took looked amazing. Along the way, we were able to appreciate Australia's magnificent natural beauty and experience the unique charm of a coastal road trip. Overall, this was a very enjoyable and memorable Great Ocean Road tour. The itinerary was well-executed, the scenery was stunning, and Tour Guide Michael Kim's service added so much to the entire trip. If you're visiting Melbourne for the first time, the Great Ocean Road is definitely worth dedicating a day to. We highly recommend this tour and Michael Kim!

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.

We had such a wonderful and memorable GREAT OCEAN ROAD trip! Our guide and driver, Augustine, was absolutely fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly in multiple languages, making the tour enjoyable and easy to understand for everyone. He was friendly, funny, patient, and very considerate of every passenger throughout the entire trip. You could really tell that he genuinely cared about making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great experience. We truly enjoyed the entire tour and would highly recommend it, especially with Augustine as your guide. Thank you, Augustine, for making our trip so enjoyable and memorable! 😊

The ride on the Puffing Billy steam train was truly impressive! Sitting on the open carriage window sills, dangling our legs outside, and feeling the breeze while passing through lush green forests was such an exciting experience! The penguin parade was incredible! I was grateful to see around 60 penguins—on average, about 700 penguins come out to the island each day. Australian penguins are the little penguin and irresistibly cute! I was also delighted to see baby Cape Barren Geese; they are utterly adorable! Our tour guide is knowledgeable and cares for our basic needs such as going to the bathroom and having our meals during the day. I highly recommend wearing enough clothing because Philip Island is very windy.

What to know before visiting Melbourne

Quick snapshot of Melbourne and what draws visitors

Melbourne’s Klook bookings are dominated by tours, zoos & aquariums and museums, with outdoor activities and historical sites also popular. Demand peaks in July and falls to its lowest in March, giving the city a clear high-season pulse around midyear.

Best times to visit based on crowds and prices

According to Klook booking data, the busiest month is July while March sees the lightest demand. Prices follow a similar rhythm: they hit their highest point in July and then drift down through the rest of the year, reaching the lowest typical levels in January. For lower prices and fewer crowds, aim for January or March; if you want peak-season atmosphere and more activity, plan for July when both demand and prices are highest.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers from the Philippines typically book about six days ahead, with some bookings made as late as two days before activities and early planners booking around eighteen days out. If you prefer flexibility you can book a few days before travel, but for popular tours in July it helps to lock plans in about a week in advance. Use Klook to check availability and secure tickets or guided tours a few days ahead so you don’t miss peak-season favourites.
