Last Minute Day Tours - Melbourne & Sydney Tours: Reviews

Positive experience: Worth visiting area..

Fantastic experience: Excellent Service, bargain next day tour, Phillip Island and the penguins

Positive experience: Some passengers were rather selfish and chose not to follow the time limit set for each stops. It would be good to put in some more strict rules to avoid setting back all the other passengers. Other than that, it was quite enjoyable, maybe a bit of a rush but nice stories shared by the driver and definitely a beautiful scenery!

Fantastic experience: Affordable tour! Highly recommended!

Positive experience: This was a good tour for the price. The first stop at the animal farm was enjoyable, however, the second stop at the koala conservation centre was unnecessary. We had already seen a koala at the farm and and it cut into our time at the Penguin centre at the end of the day. By the time we got to the penguin centre and waited in line to get something to eat it was a very rushed then we only had an hour to see the penguins and head back to the coach. The coach was very comfortable and the driver was very pleasant and informative.

Fantastic experience: I've booked the half day Pinguin, Kangaroos and Coala Bears tour which was operated by AAT Kings. Last Minute Day Tours was by far the cheepest agency. The busses are clean and very comfortable and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: I booked a few tours from these guys in Melbourne and then when I checked the website of the company I went with, these guys were definitely way cheaper! Try get a last minute special if you can, but even if you don’t they are still much cheaper than others online.

Most relatable Brooke Warne pics ever

The daughter of one of the most famous Aussies to ever live has taken a tumble while leaving a private jet.

Child sex slave ‘kept in dungeon’ for 5 years

’Every day’: Premier’s worrying admission

The Family cult survivor’s tragic reveal

Stepping off a private jet in a designer outfit surrounded by glamorous influencers may not be the most obvious setting to appear relatable, but Brooke Warne has pulled off a move in this exact scenario that proves she’s one of us.

The daughter of one of the most famous Aussies to ever live, Shane Warne, had a fashionable arrival in Sydney derailed when she tripped while disembarking from a private jet.

The 24-year-old was looking glamorous as she touched down for a product launch, yet the topple undermined her chic look.

Brooke had gone for an all-black suit, wore some tiny sunglasses that everyone’s a fan of now, and went to the effort to blow-dry her blonde locks. She went the extra mile and even put on some giant platform shoes for the occasion, which may have been a mistake.

She was meant to be looking like goals, but instead, her stumble as she tried to head off the private jet was a relatable fail.

Everyone knows the worst place to fall is on the stairs.

Thankfully, she regained her footing and made it onto the tarmac relatively unscathed,

We’ve all been there, gone to the effort to look our best, only for a comical accident to bring us back down to earth again.

But while most of us recover by sheepishly glancing around hoping no one noticed, those travelling with a pack of influencers risk their every mishap being documented by photographers.

She was having an enviable day before the stumble, which led to her desperately grabbing onto the handrails like a piece of floating wood from Titanic.

The budding influencer, who has amassed over 70,000 Instagram followers, was hanging out with fellow Melbourne influences, including Rebecca Judd, Nadia Bartel, Effie Kats, and Lana Wilkinson.

The ladies were all flown to Sydney by the Booby Tape team for a launch at Mimi’s in Coogee. Yes, it is one of the most Sydney venues ever; it is so Sydney that Justin Hemmes owns it.

Who knows what they discussed on the plane?

One can only pray that Rebecca held the floor and retold stories of her harrowing time on The Amazing Race and Nadia Bartel offered mates rates to purchase from her brand Henne.

Brooke has been sharing her busy day online, so thankfully, we know she’s recovering from the fall and thriving.

She’s posting about wearing “the cutest suit” and tagging the Melbourne brand Bianca and Bridgett.

No, she hasn’t included photos of the moment she stacked it.

More Coverage

Instead, she’s included snaps of her hanging out at the launch and a few mirror selfies.

She’s also added in a few close-up photos of Booby tape products, which isn’t a surprise since the brand did roll out an actual private jet for her.

You might have assumed she’d had the perfect day if the photos didn’t exist.

A 12-year-old girl has been rescued after being kept as a ‘sex slave’ by her own stepfather for five years. Warning: Distressing

A state government has revealed a new policy in a bid to tackle domestic violence.

An Australian has shared a heartbreaking plea for help after revealing they were “one of the last Anne Hamilton-Byrne child survivors”.
