We did this tour in February 2020. We originally scheduled it for the 10th but one of our party took unwell and Kel went out of his way to help rearrange our tour for the 13th, once our group were fully fit. Kel and Mel were great hosts, sharing a lot of information and making us feel very welcome. By the end of the tour, I felt I'd seen a lot, had a great afternoon out and had made two new friends. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne.

Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique.

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

It almost seemed a little unnatural going on a city tour of Hobart since I've lived in Tasmania most of my life but WOW we had the best time. Our guide Tim was knowledgeable and extremely entertaining. I couldn't recommend this tour enough ????

Andrew picked us up from home, provided all the gear and took us on an amazing ride out to Victoria’s beautiful Yarra Valley. We cruised out on the open roads for about an hour, stopped for some photos, then he dropped us off at Yering Station winery for lunch. We felt 100% safe and it was great fun! Thanks Andrew, we will recommend you and your company to all of our friends and family ????????
