Amazing Melbourne T had to be one of the high points of our 12 days in Australia then NZ; we spent…read morefive hours w/ Shelly and she turned it into the value of values for this beautiful city of Melbourne---the stops were the best; her love and depth of knowledge of the region and the city made it a day well spent and she is surely known to the many merchants, tourist highpoint stops and neighborhoods that she showed to us; it was an air conditioned roomy van and she began the morning by giving us the history of what we were about to see--if you want value and the chance to see just what you need to see for your time here--then this is the local to book and book now---my guess is she has got to be in demand and I can vouch for time and dollars very well spent/ so do it now/

The Legendary Laneways City Quest is really as good as it gets. I just went on this 'part amazing…read morerace' experience only recently, and I was inspired to rank this experience the best amazing race experience in Melbourne, and this article I had to write for one of my major freelance journalism clients covered this and has already scored a few accolades. In all seriousness the Legendary Laneways Quest from City Quest Australia is unique, and the right orienteering and part amazing race experience to go on and enjoy and learn about the history behind such popular lane ways; some of which include an abundance of cafes and street art. Definitely great for locals and visitors alike. If you live in Melbourne, you definitely might come across some lane ways you have never even been down before, and some that you might have and it's all perfect. As a result you will begin to gain more love and appreciation for Melbourne; well I certainly did anyway. Go with the flow and be surprised. A couple of the clues are easy, while some of the others are a bit tricky. You finish the Quest at a mystery restaurant, ideally for lunch yet just as suitable for dinner. You can also do the Quest anytime, yet it is more enjoyable on the weekends. You will need to book ahead with City Quest in advance - up to 24 hours in advance so they can make your reservation at your mystery restaurant 1.5 hours after completing the Quest. For a total investment of $19.95 for the Quest plus lunch, a great amazing race experience is enjoyed, and you never know where abouts in the city you will find yourself. I am not letting out too much information on the locations in the city you end up finding yourself in, as I don't want to ruin the surprise for you.

I'm a Melbourne local but had a friend in town who wanted to do a walking tour. I was pleasantly…read moresurprised by how knowledgeable the guide was and how much I learnt (even I as a local). I'd recommend this tour for visitors as a great introduction to Melbourne.

The guide was the driver of a 12(?) passenger van. He was very courteous and accommodating. Since…read morewe sat in the very front seat by the driver, we were able to have numerous questions answered. The tour came with tickets for the Wildlife Park, and we also purchased tickets to have pictures taken with a koala when we arrived the park. It gave us the opportunity to pet the soft fur of the koala. You might also want to purchase food for the kangaroos. The kangaroos gravitated toward tourists with food. An opportunity to pet and take pictures with numerous kangaroos. For the Penguin Parade, you'll want a warm jacket. I was glad I brought a warm jacket, but I am from southern California. Someone from Chicago might not consider it as being cold. I was glad that we chose this company with a passenger van than to tour around with a bus load of people.

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!

You get your own personal guide essentially, and he's incredibly friendly and knows everything there is to know about the history of the city. I came here from California with 2 of my best girlfriends. We spent most of the afternoon walking around the city and learning about the unique culture of Melbourne. Dave gave us tips on where to eat, drink, and just be merry. We had a blast, and hope to take with us the memories of this beautiful city. LOVED IT. Whether you're an out of towner, or a local seeking a new perspective, Melbourne by Foot is the way to go. You won't be disappointed. LOVE YOU DAVE.

The whole experience of the trip on the Zoobus to Healesville Sanctuary exceeded my expectations -…read moretickets were very easy to purchase via the zoobus website - I found the site to be user friendly with loads of useful information, including a clear map of the pick up location. The drive on the shuttle was smooth and comfortable, about one hour each way. The park itself is amazing - well worth the visit! It's a really big zoo, so the time Zoobus allows for the sanctuary visit was just perfect too. We arrived at 10am which offered us just over four hours to see all of the animal enclosures, read all the facts, stop for a healthy lunch and enjoy the bird show. Our driver was really friendly and was eager to answer my questions on the area and places we were passing by. And most importantly, it felt very safe the way he drove. What a great day! Thank you Zoobus team!
