30 day welcome to travel Amazing time with amazing people, I’d do it all over again, worth every penny, 30 days was too short I would’ve like to spend a bit more time in certain places.

the best time up the east coast amazing time on the tour it was so much fun

welcome to melbourne Kiera was such an amazing guide!!! She made us all feel so welcome and made our first week so fun :)) I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Welcome to travel, first week in Melbourne The first week in Melbourne was pretty mich amazing. Our lovely tourguide Kiara was wonderful. She sowed us all the cool spots in Melbourne and was so present that nobody felt left out.

They take the stress away from travelling! I came to Sydney with no idea where to start with my working holiday visa and Welcome to Travel sorted everything out for me. They helped me get set up, found me a job really quickly and before I knew it I had done both the Welcome to Sydney and Welcome to Melbourne.

They also planned my entire East Coast trip which took all the stress out of it. Honestly could not have done it without them. If you are heading to Australia on a working holiday, these are the people to go to.

Keira was a wonderful guide! Had a great week in Melbourne. As a traveller (not working while here) I enjoyed the tour and added extra activities while the others discussed employment though this wasn’t often. The road trip was fab. I would recommend as an intro to solo travel, getting used to hostels and having fun in Melbourne!

Amazing trip and fun itinerary.

Anna was lovely:

Great vibes.
Bubbly and great energy. Offered a good sense of pace with the group.
Well informed.
Easy to talk to.

Dave our driver:
Really funny.
Lots of great stories.
Added to the dynamic of our group.
Was also very easy to chat with.

Accommodation hostel:

Awful
Bad.
No AC
Beds were uncomfortable and bunks were a smash your skull hazard.
Curtains instantly break. And are not well designed.
No key card, you use your phone and it sucks

Phillips island accommodation:

Beautiful
Comfy
Caravan park in all the best ways.

Grace our induction presentation:
Lovely.
Amazing public speaker and engaging
Really helpful.

Thanks again everyone

Couldn’t recommend Welcome to Travel enough!!! Only just finished our Welcome to Melbourne tour and Olivia is THE BEST guide ever. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about everything and nothing is too much trouble for her. The whole week has been so much fun and it has made us so excited for the rest of the east coast tour - Olivia has set the bar high. Also, we had a one to one with Rosie at the office and booked the rest of our travels after the tour. Rosie took her time with us to make sure everything was planned to perfection so we do and see everything within our budget and timeframe. If you are thinking of travelling around Australia definitely look at this company because you won’t regret it!

Had the most amazing time on my Melbourne tour! Incredible activities planned, lovely hostel and a great experience meeting new people. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of coming to Australia, great way to start your adventure. Big shoutout to the welcome to travel team for making the transition so easy and to Olivia our guide for making the week so fun!

Olivia, our tour guide has been so much fun, so knowledgeable, organised, welcoming and makes us all feel comfortable. She’s been one of my highlights this trip. Nikki our 1:1 travel planner was absolutely amazing too! She is so approachable and kind. She was so knowledgeable and helped us plan our entire east coast trip and book everything on our budget hitting every bucket list item we wanted. My experience with the tour was amazing, I loved our group and have already made strong relationships for life, we had the best time and experiences things we wouldn’t have even thought of.

We had such an amazing week with our tour guide Olivia! We didn’t have great weather and Olivia kept everyone’s spirits high! We were busy with different activities but still had free time to chill out! Our favourite part was Phillip Island! Such a good week to settle you into Aussie life! Thank you again Olivia❤️❤️❤️❤️

Welcome to travel have been an absolute godsend through my trip, I think it can always be abit scary coming alone even if you’re confident like myself! Planning the trip can feel so daunting but this first week has been a dream. Our group was of just 8 people and we are so close already, Olivia our guide is like our bestfriend - I forget that she’s being paid to hang out with us. The Phillip island section of the tour was my favourite- Olivia and rob (the driver) are the dream team!!! The meetings you have with them at the end of the weeks are so helpful. They literally go by step by step and would help you book everything you need, they have the best deals, tips and tricks!! I cannot imagine starting my Aussie trip any other way!!

Couldn’t recommend more! Welcome to travel has been an absolute incredible way to begin my Australia journey.

I initially was going to do everything solo which I’m glad I didn’t now looking back, welcome to travel literally help with everything, from setting up bank, phone number and so much more!

All I had to do was make new connections, explore and just have the absolute best time which I did!

I enjoyed it that much I booked on to doing the great ocean road afterwards with a few mates I made whilst on the tour the week before.

A big special thanks to Olivia our guide who looked after us on tour! she made sure we had an understanding of Australia culture & gave us the best confidence going into our solo travels.

Also thank you to Nikki who after the tour helped me map out my solo travels from booking activities & hostels I have so much to look forward to and cannot wait! Still low key shocked I’ve booked a skydive!!

Thank you welcome to travel!

I had the best time with welcome to travel! I did a lot of fun stuff like surfing, viewpoints and of course the kangaroos! On the last day of the week Nikki helpt me with the rest of my trip and planning everything. This was really fun and so helpful! Definitely recommend to book at welcome to travel!

Amazing group tour! This trip was amazing! I had so much fun and Charlie was so so good! The surf trip was my favourite part and Charlie made everything so easy to follow! Thank you!

It was such an amazing week in Melbourne and I have met so many lovely people and had a really great time! I was able to gather so many different impressions and I have seen places which I probably wouldn’t have seen by myself! Thanks to welcome to travel and our tour guide Anna, she made the most of it! Such a lovely person!

Welcome to Travel have been one of the most efficient travel companies. I have been on a Welcome to Melbourne tour with them this week and it’s been so easy and structured - I have enjoyed every minute. Well worth doing!
Our guide Olivia was so friendly and she led our team so well this week. Jessye and Rosie both sat down with me to do my 1 on 1 meeting to help me figure out what extras I would like to do whilst I’m in Australia and they were so lovely.

2nd trip this year, 2025 Welcome tours and Travels, Managing Director Mr Karunanidhi and staff did a great job in accomodating my last minute request as there were some miss communication and my wife and I reached the airport and there were no driver to pick us up, to our shock .
A call to the Director and matters were solved proffessionally within minutes. The real issue was I forgot to confirm with them.
The rest of one week was smooth and well taken care till we fly back to Singapore.
A must mention is I have taken this agency for all my INDIA TRIP.
We feel like a family rather then just a agency. We can trust this agency director Mr Karunanidhi for an excellent holiday trip.
Thank you again.

Very good It was a really good experience, fun group and helpful staff. They helped us plan our trip through the whole east coast as well as with our CV.

Sydney Mini Pack I did the Sydney Mini Pack with Welcome to Travel and I really enjoyed it. Our guide Julia was super enthusiastic and charming- not only whilst doing the walking tour trough the city. The 1 to 1 meeting with her was also really helpful and she really tried to help me plan my next months in a way that was very encouraging.

honestly had the best week with welcome to travel! liv took really good care of all of us and made sure we all felt included. the vibes were honestly amazing and 1000% worth it!!!

I had a great week with Welcome to Travel in Melbourne! It was a really nice way to see the city and meet like-minded people. Liv, our tour guide, was amazing! Would definitely recommend!

Had an absolute blast all week! Especially feeding the wallaby’s and kangaroos! Though I was awful at surfing it was still incredible to go with my tour group! Olivia and absolute fantastic tour guide, easily to get along with and constantly kept us posted with what’s going on and was just a great laugh!

I had a wonderful experience on my Welcome to Travel Melbourne group tour. Olivia our tour guide has been really lovely and super helpful with advice and recommendations for places to visit and restaurants/cafes to try locally. Rosie and Nikki in the office were also really helpful in giving a presentation on what travelling in Australia could look like. Rosie was very helpful in helping me decide to travel in Tasmania and created it into a calendar for me so I know exactly where I need to be when. She tailored it to my budget and any specific sights or experiences I wanted to have while in Tasmania.

Feeling at Home in Sydney Thanks to Welcome to Travel We’ve just wrapped up an unforgettable week on the ‘Welcome to Sydney’ tour, and what a way to kick off our Australian adventure! Moving to a new country on a working holiday visa can definitely feel overwhelming, but the Welcome to Travel team made everything so much smoother and far less stressful.

From day one, they helped us tick off all the essential setup tasks—getting our Aussie bank account, TFN, and SIM card sorted—which really took the pressure off and let us focus on settling in and exploring. One of the best parts, though, was connecting with a group of fellow travellers who were all in the same position. It was incredibly comforting to be surrounded by people going through the same experience, and it instantly turned the unknown into something exciting.

A real standout moment of the week was our one-on-one session with Haydn. He was incredibly helpful and took the time to walk us through all our options for work and travel in Australia. He helped us put together a personalised plan that suited our goals and gave us so much more clarity and confidence moving forward. Having that guidance made everything feel more manageable and exciting, rather than overwhelming.

The tour itself was packed with amazing activities that gave us a proper taste of Sydney and its surroundings. A massive shoutout to our guide, Maz, who truly made the trip special. Her positivity, energy, and genuine care for everyone in the group were something else. She had a way of lifting everyone’s spirits and made us feel supported and encouraged every step of the way.

If you’re planning to start your Aussie journey, I can’t recommend this experience enough. It’s more than just a tour—it’s a launchpad into a new chapter, complete with new friends, great memories, and a whole lot of fun.

Welcome to travel Sydney tour The tour was better than expected! Lots of fun activities and Maz was an amazing tour guide!
I would 100% recommend this tour as I have made amazing friends and memories

Welcome to Sydney tour Our tour guide was so nice and friendly taking us all around, took us to many places that i wouldn’t have thought to go to if i were on my own. we went on some beautiful walks and got see some beautiful views and met some really
lovely people. We were also offered a one to one to help with the rest of our stay is OZ and it’s been super helpful. i went in feeling really overwhelmed not knowing what i was going to do next and how to go about housing and jobs but i’ve left feeling really relaxed and at ease
and all my questions were answered.

Welcome to Sydney review I did the welcome to Sydney tour and had the best week. Had Maz as my tour guide and she was amazing! All the information and recommendations she gave the group was the best! She so chill and easy to get along with, if you weren’t down to do something she’d work round you. Met the best people and had a great week. If you get Maz as your guide, you’re in the best hands!:))

Trip of a Lifetime This tour was everything we imagined and MORE. Wow, this has definitely been the best month of our lives. The activities included/accomodation/meals were all great value for the money we paid, we keep looking back through our photos and can’t believe how much was included. The add ons were all optional and great price. We only added on the skydive as the tour itself includes all the activities you need. Our highlights were K’Gari, Byron Bay (with Chrissie) and Airlie Beach. The staff were always so knowledgable, helpful and couldn’t have done more to make our time along the East Coast so smooth. Airlie Beach scenic flight and snorkel at the Great Barrier Reef were insane - definitely a day we won’t forget. We travelled as a couple but there were solo travellers and groups of friends - all different ages. No one was ever left out, we became one big family and created friends for life. All we can do is thank Welcome to Travel for this experience.

Welcome to Travel Melbourne Loved the Toure, did so many funn things. Had a amazing time, Tyna our Tour guide was super nice. Loved the Tour woude recomend 10/10.

Wonderful start to my first time in Australia!
The opportunity to meet others and get to see the best sights that Melbourne has to offer with the knowledgeable tour guide! Tyna is THE lady for the job. Her ease and approachability made me feel so
Comfortable being so far from home and she really understood as a group what we would love to see . Being here for a week I feel I have ticked everything off my list.
10000% recommend

Had the best time in Melbourne with Welcome to Travel! Our guide Tyna was so knowledgeable and would help us with everything. She made the effort to get to know everyone and made us feel at home straight away. The tour was well put together, we saw some of the best bits of Melbourne, but also had the best two days on Philip Island. Would definitely recommend!

Had the chance to explore Melbourne with the wonderful Mia. She was so knowledgeable, funny and she gave SO much help & energy throughout the entire trip.

We had such a fabulous itinerary where we went to Phillip Island & saw Penguins, kangaroos, koalas. The tour was well organised, everything included was worth the money & really made a difference with the perfect size group.

Dave was fabulous too so thanks for being a great driver & keeping us safe!

If you’re thinking about booking your first week with OZ you have got to do this.

Another special shout out to Mia, without you it would not be the same.

Absolutely love the tour! Was the best experience entering into Australia meeting loads of new people and tour guides who are previous backpackers who know all the best spots. They helped us book our entire east coast route with great experiences and tours included! Honestly best experience and most rewarding! Even events continue to happen after finishing the tour! We had Mia as our guide and was absolutely the best she knew everything about backpacking, all the best places to go in Melbourne and all up the east coast! She was so much fun and can’t wait to stay in contact! :)

I did the Welcome to Melbourne tour with Alex as our guide. It has been an unforgettable week full of once in a lifetime experiences - especially the surfing lesson on Phillip Island. Alex was fantastic and ensured that the trip ran smoothly - it was a seamless experience. He genuinely cared about making sure everyone had the best time possible and had extensive knowledge of every place we went to. Anybody lucky enough to be on one of his tours, is in for a great experience - we felt like a big family by the end of the week.

Lily, another member of WTT was also on our tour. She was so lovely, and captured some amazing photos of our trip and the group. I would not hesitate in recommending the tour to anyone else and I am excited already for my East Coast tour with WTT in January!

fabulous The tour was amazing we got some much done in just a week! the highlights were defo phillip island and learning about melbourne through the city walk and the aboriginal talk! our tour guides alex and tyna created such a lovely and welcoming environment and made everyone feel heard and made sure we were always enjoying ourselves! alex was so positive and made the trip even more fun and legendary, he had lots of knowledge about melbourne and the east coast which has helped when planning my next adventure

The Welcome to Melbourne tour has been a great way to settle into aussie life. The week had so many great experiences and the presentation and 1:1 meetings were so helpful for our future plans. All this wouldn’t have been so amazing without our guide Mia, she was brilliant and always made sure everyone was having a great time, always willing to answer any questions and we really can’t thank her enough!

We had such an amazing week with Mia as our tour guide! Reassuring a bunch of Melbourne and Aus newbies immediately with her in depth knowledge of the city and positive vibes, we felt totally at ease. The highlight was of course the road trip to Phillip island- surfing, seeing the tiny penguins and feeding the kangaroos were once in a lifetime experiences. Mia made the whole week super fun and personal, with thoughtful additions like showing us her favorite bars, making sure there was a great soundtrack to the road trip, and making me feel special on my birthday when it could have been very strange being away from home with a group of new people!

I recently did the "Welcome to Melbourne" tour, and it was absolutely amazing! Having my week structured from the moment I landed in Australia was a huge help. They even picked me up from the airport, so I didn’t have to stress about a thing from the moment I arrived.

The tour was an incredible opportunity to bond with loads of new people and get a real feel for the city. The guides are fantastic—so helpful and attentive. They really go above and beyond to ensure you're having a great time and assist with all the admin you need to sort out, which can be overwhelming when you're new to the country. The 1:1 meetings with the guides were super useful (just don’t go to these hungover!).

Our guide, Mia, was absolutely brilliant. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and she genuinely cared about making sure everyone had the best time possible. By the end of the week, I felt like we'd become great friends. Anyone lucky enough to be on her tour in the future is in for a fantastic experience!

Highly recommend this tour to anyone new to Melbourne—it really makes the transition so much smoother!

This is an awesome program. The tour activities were excellent, such as the city walks, Penguin Parade, Maru animal park, and bar crawl. My tour guide Natasha was so fun, friendly, and knowledgeable—her personality and service definitely enhanced the trip! The one-on-one guidance and living support (like for the SIM card and bank account) was also very helpful and I valued it a lot. I wished some intensive one-on-one guidance was an option earlier in the week because I was a little anxious about figuring out my living situation all week long, but come to think of it, I think I would’ve liked to arrive a few days earlier to get my bearings before the intensive program. I recommend that—if you’re trying to work & live in Melbourne, consider arriving a few days before the tour so you get some time to figure things out on your own time.

Thank you Natasha and Team so much!!!

The tour was absolutely amazing. Natasha really made it so special for us and also feel like we’ve made a friend which is so so lovely. Dave also made Philip island great I loved it! Would recommend to everyone! Been the best week ever ♥️

Had a such a good time on the Welcome to Melbourne tour from welcome to travel! Our guide Natasha was great! It was really nice to discover Melbourne and Phillip Island like this. The team then also helped with my further travels up the east coast, which was super nice. Thanks Dan! They also are able to help with finding work. Thanks to everyone for making my start in Australia super easy and fun, especially Natasha. She was super sweet and energetic and really made the group tour so fun. Definitely would recommend!

Welcome to Melbourne is a great way to start your trip or travel/working visa in Aus. Our guide Nikki was so awesome. The tour shows you a lot of Melbourne and as well you do a little route trip to Phillip island. I must say that was the highlight. I had an lovely time with everyone in the wonderful city of Melbourne!

Absolutely fab time! What are we going to do without Grace now! She was a gorgeous guide. So much helpful knowledge and was very friendly, super fun and made everyone feel very comfortable. The tour itself was so much fun, definitely would recommend to anyone who is just landing into Melbourne and feeling unsure as to what to do, as you meet so many new people, form amazing relationships and a true understanding of the city!

My tour was incredible. We had the best tour guide, called Abbie. She gave us so much information, laughs and support. A perfect tour combining getting started in Australia and exploring Melbourne and the surrounding areas. Abbie became a friend that I know I can message whenever I need to and she’d help me and provide me with some banter along the side! Fabulous start to my time in Australia!

What a week it’s been with welcome to travel: Melbourne tour! Had a blast with our tour guide Nikki, she was so knowledgeable, bubbly and brought an incredible energy to the whole week! I’ve taken so much away from your advice and recommendations! Dave our driver for Philip island also was so friendly and helpful and pointed out some great stuff along the way with Nikki. Loved getting to know everyone and was easy to make connections and have just had so much fun!! All round the best first week half way across the world! Don’t think I could have organised my work holiday without all the help from Nikki and the arrangement wtt have made, like bank set up, employment, travel help! I think because Nikki was so informative and checked in on everyone throughout the trip she made everyone feel safe, supported and welcomed to a new city and life in Australia. My highlight was Phillip island and the amount of wildlife and viewpoints we saw and city wise our culture walks in Melbourne as we were told so much history, I couldn’t believe how much Nikki knew, I was very inspired! Keep being you Nikki, loved it ???? catch you soon!!

I just finished my Welcome to Travel tour in Melbourne and what a week! Grace was our tour guide and she was absolutely amazing. She had so much knowledge of the area and gave us great recs for both Melbourne and other areas of Australia. Grace always brought the best energy, answered all questions and made sure everyone felt super comfortable and safe.
I would highly recommend the tour of your new to Australia and wanting to meet new people, you will make friends so quickly and get the inside scoop of where to be and what to do. Again thank you so much to Grace and the WTT team!!!❤️❤️

GREAT experience. Had never solo travelled, stayed in hostels etc and this was such a great way to start the trip, meet new people, make friends. INSANE value for money. Would really recommend. And the help that the WTT team gives you for the rest of your trip, helping you plan what to do and booking things for the rest of your trip.

Grace exceeded my expectations as a tour guide! Nothing was too much and she had so much knowledge on everything I wanted to know! Everyone on the tour was respectful of one another and good friendships have been made! The tour was a great introduction to Melbourne and I would highly recommend for anyone solo travelling and wanting to meet new people. Excited for the next one booked now.

Where to begin!! Booked the “welcome to Melbourne tour” with my boyfriend Conor after seeing previous glowing reviews. I didn’t expect a fraction of what the trip was going to offer. There were plenty of surprises that were real showstoppers on top of the itinerary.

Every day was packed with fun activities and different sights to see. Having the expertise and knowledge from our lovely tour guide Grace was invaluable, as well as the laughs and dance moves! She really made everyone feel at ease and really took the time to get to know the group - thank you sooo much ????

Andy our driver to Philip island was super friendly too! We also had a chat with Rosie, she was full of advice regarding the best way to navigate living in the city.

If you want a great way to meet people in Oz this is the trip for you! The memories I have made with the group will be cherished forever. We’re settling in Melbourne and can’t wait to catch up with our new mates ????

We have already extended our trip to do the great ocean road and have no doubt it will be incredible ????

I have just finished the welcome to melbourne tour. I was so apprehensive before starting as this was my first time in a hostel and travelling solo but it has honestly been the best week. My tour group have been absolutely amazing, couldnt have asked for a better bunch of people. A very special shout out to our tour guide Grace who has been amazing the whole week and made us all feel very comfortable. She has been there to answer any questions we have had and just made the whole week so much fun. There is so much to do and see and the tour covers a lot of it. Anybody on the fence about booking a tour. GO FOR IT! you won't regret it. Xxx

i highly recommend anyone thinking to visit aus booking on a WTT tour. I’ve had the best week in Melbourne, and excited to continue living here :) The tour includes so many great activities and meals, very thankful for charlie, he was the best tour guide! he knows a lot of interesting facts and will tell you some great stories. really enjoyed the week, all in all a 10/10 experience !! ????????????????????

I am very happy that I chose to book onto a Welcome to Melbourne tour for my first week in Australia! Everything that I needed to settle in was taken care of with ease and I have made some good friends and memories along the way.

My tour guide was Charlie Morgan and I feel genuinely lucky to have had him around for the past week. This is due to his friendly and welcoming nature, as well as being very knowledgeable and capable of answering any questions anyone in the group may have had… (Not to mention his all of his fascinating stories).

I’ve booked onto the Great Ocean Road trip as an extension to the WTT tour as I don’t want it to end yet and it’s such a shame this will be unguided because I’m sure everybody in the group will have preferred to have had Charlie around for a bit longer. All things come to and end though! All the best Charlie mate.

Best week of my life! If in doubt, just do it! I have made the most amazing memories, and met the most amazing people. Doing the welcome to travel takes off so much initial stress that you may have the first week of coming out, as this is usually the hardest part. Doing the welcome to travel Melbourne was great as it is such a cultural city and our tour guide Charlie was the BEST! I wouldn’t know half the insight that Melbourne has to offer if it wasn’t from his many many fun facts. I would not have wanted any other tour guide, Charlie made the trip and had so much knowledge and was amazing at accommodating all of us and just making everything as easy as possible, and safe to say he kept up as all VERY entertained the whole trip. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much, the hardest thing was saying goodbye and I want to go back and do it all over again already ❤️ LOVE YOUUUUU xxx

Nikki was a lovely tour guide who was super helpful, friendly and funny. The group was so nice and I made loads of new friends. There was a good balance of exciting activities and free time, and Nikki really helped the experience feel personalised and welcoming.

The help we got from both Nikki and Holly during our one to one was brilliant. They made sure everything was within our budget and that we could do everything we wanted to do.

This week has been amazing, got to meet so many great people. We’ve had great experiences like feeding kangaroos, road-tripping to beautiful places, surfing and seeing wild life penguins ???? Our tour guide Nikki was absolutely amazing, she’s so fun and great at her job!
I am so thankful for all their help this first week in Aus and it could have stated any better than this. Also Abbie that we had 1:1 chat with was so funny and such a nice girl that really helped us out with every single question we had about work and much more. Thank you!

One of the most amazing weeks to start off a year of travelling. Our tour was full of so many trips and visited lots of “must see” locations for Melbourne. Perfect for a solo traveller because you make friends with everyone in your group.
Our tour guide, Grace, made everyone feel so welcomed and definitely made sure everyone had a smile on their face throughout the trip.
Abbie was amazing in the office for helping us plan our onward travel and adjusted it to fit our budget.
Ive had such an amazing week and I’ll definitely be returning to Melbourne in future!
Thank you so much again Grace for making our trip a once in a lifetime experience ????????

An absolutely amazing tour, met so many amazing people, had so many great experiences, the perfect way to start your journey in Aus. Made some amazing friends, and cannot wait to continue my travels with the plan from our 1-to-1 meeting which was so helpful. Tour guide Nikki was so friendly and welcoming and supportive, a great asset to the team!

I had the most amazing week???? great value for money, amazed at how much can be fit into a week. Great way to settle into a new city. Tour guide Grace was absolutely brilliant couldn’t fault her. Will be recommending to my friends to do the tour if they think of coming over!

Can honestly say had the most amazing week with welcome to travel! 100% better then I expected. Our tour guide was Grace and she was absolutely fantastic at showing us around and making everything so easy, she really felt like she was a friend and part of the group ???? All the activities included were so much fun and even the housekeeping stuff like the future travels, jobs and banks we were given so much help and information that there’s now no worry for anything! So huge Thankyou to welcome to travel and an even bigger Thankyou to Grace for making this week so memorable ????
