Overall rating

I have always had good luck with Greyline tours. They are typically a bit more expensive but I think worth it. I did the Penguin VIP and the city tours and they were great. Penguin VIP was the highlight of my trip. I booked Ocean Road and when the day arrived it was pouring rain by the time I got to the departure area my pants were soaking wet as were my feet and I was freezing cold. Based on the radar it appeared was going to rain all day. I asked to reschedule and after some hesitation she agreed. I reschedule for a Saturday. After thinking about it Saturday was likely to be very busy so I went back & asked to change to the following Tuesday. The girl asked if I had already changed it and I told her I had due to bad weather. She said she could only change once. I knew when I bought the ticket online there was a flexible refund policy. So asked for a refund and figured I would just go back online and purchase for my preferred date. She hesitated again and then said it wouldn't be a problem to change. I mean seriously, why wouldn't she just change from the get go. The reason I didn't give 5 stars was because if customer service at window.

Best Melbourne Tours & Day Trips

Melbourne is a city that truly lives up to its reputation as a coffee-loving, football-obsessed, and art-filled destination. From its stunning gold rush era architecture to its lively food and wine scene and charming neighborhoods, it’s easy to see why Melbourne captures the hearts of so many travelers. Whether you’re seeking out hidden bars in the city’s iconic alleyways or joining 100,000 passionate fans at an AFL game at the MCG, Melbourne offers endless opportunities for fun and entertainment.

Don’t make the mistake of getting so caught up in Melbourne that you never venture beyond the city. There are plenty of incredible day trips to destinations around Victoria that are just as impressive as the vibrant capital. Our Melbourne tours take you to explore some of Australia’s most amazing rural regions, from the breathtaking coastline of the Great Ocean Road to the world-class wine region of Yarra Valley. Don’t miss out on all that Victoria has to offer!

Melbourne Day Tours & Trips

No trip to Melbourne is complete with visiting the Great Ocean Road and Phillip Island to see two of Victoria’s icons – the Twelve Apostles and the Penguin Parade . Enophiles should pry themselves away from Melbourne’s distinguished restaurants to sample the top drops of Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula on wine tours from the city. For a Melbourne day tour off the beaten track, head to the Grampians for some of the most spectacular scenery in Victoria.

Visitors with younger kids in tow can entertain them on a day trip to Sovereign Hill in Ballarat or Puffing Billy in the Dandenong Ranges. Ski bunnies will enjoy the chance to hit the slopes on a day trip to Mount Buller and experience the snow at Victoria’s premier ski resort.

Discover Other Sightseeing Tours from Melbourne, Victoria

To further explore the best Victoria has to offer, join a multi-day tour from Melbourne to stay overnight in some of the region’s top locations. Two day tours to the Great Ocean Road, Phillip Island and the Grampians give you the opportunity to discover more of the breath-taking scenery in these stunning locations.
