Our walking tour with Rian was excellent. He was very personable, had a great sense of humor, and…read morea vast knowledge of the city which he delivered in an entertaining way. We had 31 tourists in our group, but it seemed smaller. He gave us time to take photos, but didn't make photos the overwhelming reason for our tour. Instead, he gave us a real sense of the city. Rian kept up our pace making sure we were all safe crossing streets. I would highly recommend this tour.

Sam gave us a lot of history and background to his city. Some points of interest visited were: - Old Melbourne Gaol, a former prison where Ned Kelly (a bushranger who was considered both a hero and a villain) was hung, and it's now part of RMIT University and a museum - Princess Theater, where a seat is always left unoccupied in honor of Frederick Federici, and the theater is supposedly haunted by his ghost - Chinatown, the oldest Chinatown in Australia and filled with cheap eats - Federation Square, a large public space great for televising live sporting events as well as for rioting - Flinders Station, the largest and busiest metro station in Melbourne - various alleyways that have cute cafés and restaurants that are prefect for bunch and lunch - street art that's legal at some alleyways

Fantastic sunset tour of Great Ocean Road with the multi-talented Sherif as our guide/driver…read more Long drive, but worth every minute. Sherif had much information to share about the history, geography, and wildlife of this beautiful area. Views of the ocean, cliffs, Twelve Apostlesand sunset were stunning. It was fun to see and photograph kangaroos, cockatoos, and even sleeping koalas. Sherif (a professional musician) even performed a very memorable demonstration of the didgeridoo for us. This tour also helped avoid the crowds. Thanks Sherif for a great tour!

We went on the one day Great Ocean Road tour where we started off at Bells beach, had lunch at the…read moreCape Otway lighthouse (and we climbed up the lighthouse). And I would give this tour a five star except the lunch was merely a light snack that included two small sausages, potatoes, and a salad and since it's a ~13hr tour, everyone was quite hungry by the end. Anyway, we got to see the koalas and were lucky enough to see one awake, walking and climbing a tree! We didn't get to see the kangaroos due to the season but that's out of the tour guide's control. The major highlights of our tour were the 12 Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge! The pictures don't do justice, you'll have to go there and see them for yourself! Our tour guide was AJ, he was nice and informative.

Matt and his company were great. We wanted something much more personal than a big bus tour.

We added an extra day trip out of Melbourne to see the Penguin Parade and Churchill Island. He personalized our tour to meet our needs, and gave us a wonderful tour of wildlife, beaches, 12 Apostles, seaside towns, and wonderful food! Also, made extra trips to get us coffee and playground time for my two kids. Australia is amazing, but to have a personal guide that became a friend made it exceptional! We visited places we probably would never have found on our own, and he was able to give us information about each and every place. I highly recommend this group to show you the Great Ocean Road!

However during the week were emailed & informed the bus had to be back 30 mins prior to our scheduled time. This morning the day of our tour that 26 people were looking forward to, we await our bus for pick up at 8:15. . . . 8:30 we call & they say its on the way. 30mins later Malcolm calls & says the bus is coming but is stuck in "roadworks" (one of our guests lives near the bus company & there were no delaying road works for her!). The bus arrives, AN HOUR LATE! We had our first winery booked in for 10:30am (there's an hour & 1/2 travel time!) old as we expected we complain to the driver and get on board. The bus was PUTRID! It stank. As one of our guests went to sit there were feces on the seat! We disembarked and spoke to the driver, who told us her received a call at 8:15 this morning to take the tour & was working until 3:30 am that morning. How can Butt Bus Lines send people out with a driver who has had only 5 hours sleep? And a bus with S H I T on the seats?! So be warned you can't take glass / stubbies on the bus BUTT feel free to wipe your ass' on the seat! Really sad as I used them 5 years ago & they were brilliant. Luckily we had some very generous mates who nominated to drive us all so we didn't miss our tour due to the incompetence & unhygienic facilities offered by BUTT BUS LINES. And we still haven't heard back from them, no apology no explanation. . . . .

We did a full day Penguin Tour to Philip Island with Penguin Island Tours…read more The price was very reasonable for all that is included, like the conservation parks, snacks and of course the transport itself. We were picked up on time from our hotel - or you can meet at the Flinders location which some people did. We had Kurt as our driver and he was super nice. He gave us some good tips on the various places were were visiting and we felt safe with him as a driver. Some tips overall - make sure you print your voucher for faster processing and bring warmer clothes for night - even on a hot summer day in Melbourne, we froze our booties at the Philip Island Penguin Viewing. Reason for a 4 star rating is the coach itself - it was a bit small and at one point, you drive for almost 2 hours on your way back from Philip Island to Melbourne. Try to sit in the very back or very front for a little extra leg room!

I loved loved loved penguin island!…read more I booked online and boarded the coach at the pick up point on flinders street. My ticket price included return journey and a meal and drink whilst at the penguin parade. I went on a night in october and did not appreciate how cold it would get so i would advise wrapping up warm and taking some blankets whilst outside on the viewing platform. It was amazing to see the little penguins come onto the beach at night and really was an unforgettable experience. My only downpoint was the guides were constantly telling to not take pictures as this can stun the penguins but i saw loads of toursists do it. I dont understand why they would do this. Really disrepectful! The journey is long but our bus driver was fab in pointing out local landmarks on the way out and letting us sleep on the way back.
