Melbourne Tour Reviews
Guest reviews from travelers on tours in and around Melbourne
Jeffrey G. | Traveled in January
The hotels chosen for this experience were very good. The breakfast buffets were excellent. But going in January you should be prepared for brutal weather at Uluru and in Cairns, for different reasons. In one place you will broil and in the other swelter. Our tour guide took good care of us, especially at the various Australian airports. Many of the bus drivers were incredibly knowledgeable and added greatly to my enjoyment.

My trip of the Highlights of Australia/New Zealand. It was a great trip with great sights and great Trafalgar and AAT Kings representatives who were great help. They helped when issues arose for the trip and the travelers. They all were very friendly and kind.
Anonymous | Traveled in December
I think, no need for 2 days in Uralla, you could see the rocks in one day./night. Also in Sydney, 3 days are enough. This will reduce the total cost of the trip
Michael S. | Traveled in December
Everything was perfect but what made it the best trip ever was the best tour guide Anna and the equally good coach driver Terry. Once when I had technically left the tour in Melbourne Terry went looking for me to make sure I was alright. Unbelievably kind and caring.

This trip covers some highlights of Australia A busy pace but there is so much to see that is the only way to fit it all it. This trip also offered options to skip certain outings if you needed more down time or wanted to do something else.
