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.

I booked Jetbus return shuttle for 3 people 5-6 months before. Our flight from Sydney departed a couple hours later due to high winds. I was contacted by one of their drivers wondering where I was and when I told him he then informed me that if I’m not at Tullamarine airport before 11pm he won’t be there to shuttle us to our airport and to find my own transportation. Received the call just prior to boarding our flight. So no time to research other organisations or to have a discussion with this person. So he cancelled me. I asked if I would be refunded as Mother Nature has caused my delay not me personally and he said sure. The next day I cancelled our pickup shuttle due to their inconvenience to us the night before and leaving us three women stranded at their airport late at night. Again I requested a refund and again I was told sure. Well that was February 2019 and we are nearly into September 2019. 10 phone calls later and 6 emails later and still NOTHING. Everyone time I request to speak to the manager they are never there either they are off today, their shift hasn’t started yet, sick or Overseas. Very frustrating and disappointing. It would be great to actually hear from Jetbus manager seeing I’ve left my name and number multiple times. Even rang again TODAY 23/8/19 and the manager is...More

Henry gave us a great tour of Phillip Island, aided by some beautiful weather (thanks melbourne). He was a very knowledgeable guide and just a great guy to have to spend the tour with. We had a close family friend who warned us from doing a trip down to Phillip Island. They hated it. But the more I read up on the island, the more I realised that most other people that had visited the island, overwhelmingly had a positive experience. But now I understand why my friend hated it. They took a bus tour and when we compared notes on our tour, they described the places they stopped. Well they only visited 3 stops. We visited about 10 different locations and half of them were definitely not on the tourist map as we were the only ones there. But to be honest, these were my favourite stops. They were well away from the tourist buses and in fact probably not accessible to the buses as we went down some narrow roads. But the wildlife there was out of this world. So look, if you are going to to Phillip island at all, find out where you will be taken. How much value for money are you getting. Are the tickets included. Is there an advantage to taking a private tour. How well does your group mix with other people you have never met. Do you want to go and your own pace or happy to go at the pace set by the rest of the group. Do you want to be picked up from your hotel doorstep or are you happy to jump on a tram to meet the bus tour. Obviously these are not questions my friends asked before she booked her tour. So really, do your research people or you will just end up on a tour that isn’t right for you. There are lots of options so nobody out there should be licking the wrong tour for them.unless you are a lazy click and book person like my friend!
