1000 💥💥💥💫💫💫 EXPERIENCE - Lawrence from Tours Around Melbourne was AMAZING!!! I'm a history teacher, and on the drive to Country Side Melbourne he taught us all SO much, from millions of years ago, to present day. He has a soothing voice ( I've been on tours where I've bailed, and listened to my ear buds🤣) Lawrence was prompt, super organized, and very clear. My husband and I would recommend this company in a heartbeat. The Erueka Tower tour AFTER Wildlife Tour was incredible, and a peaceful way to end the day. Bus has WiFi and charging ports ( USB)10/10

Best Time IN Melbourne For Our Family.... We 100:/: RECOMEND THIS TOUR & COMPANY TO EVERYONE. - We did a PRIVATE TOUR TO SEE PENGUINS & ALL THE OTHER AUSSIES ANIMALS THROUGH TOURS AROUND MELBOURNE had an absolutely great time, to a large extent thanks to our guide JAI. JAI was super clear and detailed from the start in communicating how the day would go and gave us useful and interesting commentary throughout the day covering a vast array of topics. The day tour itself was well structured - we got to THE PLACES with time to spare for a coffee/snack and time to get gifts before getting onto the tours which was nice and early, before the crowds/heat. We then drove to SEE MELBOURNE CITY around lunchtime, had time to grab SOME WINE there before the tour, and then drove back to MELBOURNE. Water and some snacks were provided, while the van was very comfortable (including AC and USB ports). All in all, the tour took just under 9 hours, as advertised. Thanks again toJAIfor the awesome day!

100 out of 100 Such A Great Day we’ve Had 🌟💫⭐️ - It was exactly the kind of tour we were after. Didn’t have to drive for hours to get to the penguins place. And we saw all the down under Animals at the same place I.e koalas kangaroos and a lot more. And we had the best Aussie wine at Michael Uwin wines. It was one of the best wineries we have been to. And the day was organised so well A big Thanks to Jay and Rennie for Such A Great Day

Worth every Penny and minute 🐧🦘🐨 - It was great Beautiful park celebrating Australian animals (plus tigers and PENGUINS). Kangaroos are special from Kangaroo island, super friendly and you can feed them - make sure you buy the special food at the entrance, it's worth it! We all loved it, never thought my 23mo would be able to feed, pat and even hug a Kangaroo.. Then we were taken to a Great Local Winery . Wow what an experience we have been to Hunter Mudgee and Barossa Valley but nothing will ever compare to Michael Unwin wines. We meet Michael and learnt how he started making his own wines what a Amazing host. Lindsay did the wine tasting and he was knowledgeable and fun to chat to. I highly recommend stopping tasting. We went home with the merlot shiraz sparkling shiraz and the durif if you like fine strong bodied reds highly recommended purchasing. They offer cheese platters and Amazing hospitality. I cannot brag about this winery enough it's a must do if your doing a trip to Ballarat. OVERALL A GREAT EXPERIENCE 😃
