  • 5Fun-trustic Experiece

    It was a Fun-trustic experience; our tour guide, Mr. Noel, was very friendly, professional, and most importantly, kept our safety in mind. While other tourist vehicles were rushing, he ensured our safety. He also took us to koala and kangaroo viewing spots that were not crowded. His knowledge of the local area and history, and his ability to keep the group engaged, were impeccable. He ensured our group's dietary and other comfort needs were met as well. I will highly recommend this tour and especially Mr. Noel as the guide.

  • 5The 7 apostles tour

    10/10 major highlights were getting to see koalas in the wild, going on the helicopter ( and it’s a totally different experience if we were just to see the 12 apostles on the lookout because there was actually sooo much more to see when ur up on the air) and the town we got to eat lunch in was really different, wish we got to stay and walk around for longer there. Got to see so much in a day!

  • 512 apostols & helicopter

    Steve was great and very entertaining. Definitely recommend taking the helicopter tour (it's an add on) but well worth the money.

About Melbourne

Melbourne is the capital of Victoria on the Yarra River, known for laneway cafés, street art, grand Victorian buildings and a calendar full of sport.

Melbourne grew rich on the gold rush of the 1850s, and the grand buildings from that time still stand in the grid of the city centre, among them Flinders Street Station with its yellow facade and the domed Royal Exhibition Building. Federation Square and the National Gallery of Victoria stand close to the Yarra, and trams rattle along the main streets. Narrow lanes such as Hosier Lane are covered in ever-changing street art.

Top-ranked sights in Melbourne: Loch Ard Gorge, Twelve Apostles, Great Ocean Road.
