Things to do in Melbourne

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to our guide and driver, Mr. Simon, for his exceptional care and attentiveness throughout the tour. As we were travelling with our elderly parents, we especially appreciated that he thoughtfully checked in with us from time to time to see if we needed a toilet break during the journey. His kindness and consideration made the trip much more comfortable for our family. We were also delighted that we drive past the iconic Formula 1 track before heading to Phillip Island. It was a wonderful bonus that added to the overall experience. The café stop before we crossed the bridge was perfectly timed and much appreciated—it certainly saved us from our growling stomachs! We truly admire Mr. Simon’s dedication and hard work as managing both the driving and guiding responsibilities on such a long itinerary is no easy task, yet he remained professional, friendly, and attentive throughout the day. Thank you, Mr. Simon for the enjoyable trip!!

I had an amazing Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles day tour with Jensen! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip fun and enjoyable. The itinerary was well-paced, and we had enough time to enjoy each stop and take plenty of photos. One of the highlights was spotting wild koalas along the way—it was such a special experience! Seeing one up close would have made the day even more magical, but that’s all part of the excitement of wildlife. 😊 Thank you, Jensen, for making this trip so memorable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne!

Tony was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. He gave a thorough explanation throughout our whole 12 hours or so journey...it is such a delightful experience! Thank you for the memories!

Our tour guide, Curtis, was very enthusiastic. At first, he seemed a bit talkative, but he also gave us time to rest later on. The entire tour had plenty of time, and we never felt rushed, though some guests might have been a little late. The steam train experience was excellent; I was surprised we rode it for almost 45 minutes. I personally think most souvenirs aren't necessary to buy; it's better to use that time for photos and enjoying the scenery. When we went to see the penguins, I was surprised that the guide noticed I was wearing a skirt and asked if I was cold, even thoughtfully giving me a hand warmer. I'm not someone who gets cold easily, so I immediately gave the hand warmer to my friend who does. I highly recommend buying the deluxe seats because you'll be incredibly close to the penguins, almost within arm's reach, as you watch them come ashore and then return. It's absolutely worth it. Even more surprising was the sky full of stars; the scenery combined with the penguins was truly a perfect 100. Many thanks to the tour for this wonderful experience.

This is an amazing experience that you should definitely try if you plan to travel in Melbourne. Our tour guide Tony was informative and gave insights on each of the destination areas. Highly recommended!

Overall, the tour was good, although the itinerary felt a bit rushed. There were so many places to visit, but not enough time to fully enjoy each one. The highlights of our trip were definitely the rainforest tour and the Puffing Billy experience—they were absolutely superb! I’d also like to give special recognition to our tour guide, Mr. Joe Chan. He was incredibly kind, friendly, and accommodating throughout the trip. He went above and beyond by helping us take photos and videos, making sure we captured wonderful memories together. We truly appreciated his thoughtfulness and exceptional service. Thank you, Mr. Joe Chan, for making our experience even more enjoyable. Kudos to you!

A fantastic trip! We were greeted By our driver John. He is exceptional and funny. Friendly and always joyful. Made the whole bus enjoyed the journey. Pick up time was early but it was worth it. Smooth journey. We really enjoyed this trip. Just be mindful and stick to the the time given by your driver. We had to be waiting for half hour in the bus by 2 girls post-ski. It will be good if every member of the bus plans their time well. Overall, John made it all better!! Thank you John!!

We had a great family visit to SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium. The kids loved the penguins, sharks, and underwater tunnel, and there were plenty of interactive exhibits to keep them entertained. The aquarium is clean, stroller-friendly, and easy to explore with children. It can get busy, but overall it’s a fun and educational attraction that’s well worth visiting for families with kids.

So fun! first time experience and found it very fun! so many animals to see. worth getting there and sticking around to the after noon where the tigers and snow leopards were more active. Staff were very friendly as well.
