Professionally organised tours John organised two fantastic tours for our ladies group to the Penguin Parade and Puffing Billy. Wes and Neil did an excellent job looking after us all and getting us to the venues and return on time. We particularly appreciated you and your drivers being in continual contact throughout the whole process as well as being able to organise the purchase of tickets and meals for the events. Your prices came well within our budget. Thank you from ALARA.

Best Customer service ever Arranged at short notice for 6 of us traveling to see Lions rugby. Recommended by Pan Pacific hotel concierge we arranged a winery tour with no hassle. We had a great vehicle pick us up at hotel, visited 3 wineries and had lunch at third which was excellent. Our driver, Michael, was brilliant-knowledgeable and even found wild kangaroos to see at end of tour. Somewhere along the route I lost my British and Irish Lions cap. After we left Melbourne for Sydney MTC contacted me asking if the cap they had found was mine-it was! They then posted it on to me in Sydney. Customer service beyond the call!

Great Ocean Road Tour experience We had an excellent private tour experience of the Great Ocean Road with Melbourne Touring Company. Wes was our driver and guide, and he made the day absolutely amazing. He’s such a friendly, kind person, very knowledgeable about the history, and genuinely committed to making the trip a unique experience.

We were lucky to have great weather, and besides the breathtaking views, we even got to see koalas and kangaroos. The tour included all the classic stops as well as some less crowded spots, which made it even more special. This was a family trip for seven of us, and we wanted something more private and personalised — it was perfect!

We were picked up and dropped off at our accommodation, and we had complete freedom to bring our own food and snacks for the road. There was also the option to stop for a meal somewhere if we wanted, although I’d recommend making the most of the time to explore the different landscapes.

A big thank you to Wes and the whole team for such an unforgettable Great Ocean Road adventure! Definitely recommended for larger groups of friends or family, and excellent value for money compared to bigger, more crowded tours.

Great experience Well designed itinerary, communication was excellent, our guide Wes was excellent- one of the best guides I’ve ever encountered

Excellent Tour: Highly Recommend My family of four booked two tours through MTC Tours. John was super helpful with all of the back-and-forth emails I had (and there were many!) He was patient and answered very promptly. We decided to book two days of private tours and had wo separate drivers, Michael and Wes. The first tour took us to an incredible beach, Maru Koala and Animal Park, and the Penguin Parade. Michael was very flexible and provided a great day for us. Our tour included a chocolate tour factory visit but we wanted to spend more time at an incredible beach so he was happy to make the adjustment and made sure to keep us on track for the Penguin Parade time. The next day, Wes picked us promptly and he explained we would do the reverse Ocean Tour to beat the traffic and have an overall better experience. He was correct! The day was awesome. We had two requests if possible; to see a koala and a kangaroo in the wild and Wes delivered! We knew it would be a long shot because of well nature. But Wes put us in the best places to see both and we got lucky. Both Michael and Wes were not only excellent and safe drivers, but they are all around delightful people who my whole family enjoyed being with, which is important because they were both very long days. I've traveled around dthe world with many tours and recommend MTC Tours 100% with no reservations.

Lake mountain, trout farm, waterfall and chocolate factory John is responsive and reliable. I organized a tour with him one week before and he turned up right on time. He was accommodative to our last minute changes. Very nice and experienced guide , he helped teach the kids how to fish when we were at the trout farm. We had a fantastic time, without worrying about driving the long winding, narrow road up the mountain.

I wasn’t sure whether to join a group tour, or to pay more money for the privacy of a private tour. I am so glad that I chose to join this company’s tour. It was an unforgettable day, an experience that I will never forget. I went with John, and he arranged everything down to the last detail. We knew that we were in safe hands. He obviously has a lot of experience in this industry. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. We were able to stretch out and relax, because it is a very long day to drive to the famous great oceanic road and the 12 apostles. We were able to stop and get out of the vehicle in many locations where there were no other tourists. I really enjoyed that. His commentary was informative. I was able to ask him a lot of questions, and I learned a lot about Australia and the way of life. He took many photos, and I will be looking at them for many years to come. Highly recommended. Thank you so much!!

Great tour. Great guide. Lots of great information. We chose the private tour with Melbourne touring company because it had great reviews and we wanted the flexibility to spend more or less time at each spot. We chose reverse itinerary with a 7am start to avoid the crowds and it worked out perfectly. Our driver, Wes, was a wealth of information, made great suggestions, and remained flexible to our wishes. We stopped to see koalas on the side of the road, drove through the golf course to see kangaroos, and spent time at each sight without feeling rushed. Wes even gave us great suggestions for our visit to Sydney where we headed next. It was the perfect tour and the perfect day!

First class service This is the 3rd year in a row using the Melbourne Touring Company. Dealing with John has made organising our events a breeze, and Lawrence who has been our driver each year has been fantastic taking into account all our requirements. We will be back again for the 4th year without doubt. Keep up the excellent work.

Unforgettable Great Ocean Road Tour This was really unforgettable tour! We went for Great Ocean Road Tour for 2 days with kids and all of us was very very happy with it. Pete showed us many interesting and sometimes secret places. We visited 12 Apostels, London Bridge, Rainforest and many others beautiful places. Pete made very good photos for us and told us a lot of interesting stories about these places. He also advised us the best restaurants and waited till we finish our dinner and buy a lot of gifts on the way:) We can really recommend Melbournetouring company and Pete as the best guide. Thank you all! It was very wonderful trip!

Memorable Golden ocean road Trip We had an unforgettable day trip to Great ocean with Peter Luehman engraved in our love for Melbourne, who went beyond his duties and made our trip very memorable. Peter also adjusted the tour to accommodate our photography needs and got us best shots. We found him very friendly , passionate and funny with my kids and we absolutely loved him.

Great Ocean Road Tour Experience! I can’t say enough good things about Melbourne Touring Company and our experience on the Great Ocean Road tour! Despite booking last minute, the company was incredibly accommodating, responded quickly, and clearly explained the options available. The whole tour was so well organized and tailored to our preferences—it truly felt like a personalized adventure!

Our driver and guide was simply fantastic. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the history, sights, and local secrets along the way, but he was also kind, patient, and always eager to answer our questions. His passion for the region really enhanced our experience, making each stop feel special.

The breathtaking scenery, combined with such professional and friendly service, made this tour unforgettable. I highly recommend Melbourne Touring Company to anyone looking to explore the Great Ocean Road—whether you’re booking months in advance or last minute, they will ensure you have a remarkable experience!

Degustation lunch at The Cupps Estate Winery - Mornington Peninsula The most beautiful day! We celebrated a very special birthday with a degustation lunch at The Cupps Estate on the Mornington Peninsula, and John made the whole day so easy and seamless that all we had to concentrate on was enjoying the many great plates and local wine overlooking the most stunning views with our favourite company. The service from the start or our journey to the staff at the estate and back again was 10/10. They were so friendly and accommodating. The perfect day to celebrate. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. Would definitely recommend!

A one of a kind experience! Truly recommended day trip. The views are mesmerizing, the road is unique and the experience is really worth it. Our guide Wes has been truly professional all the way from recommending us the departure time, to guiding us during the day with his very elaborate, knowledgeable and fun commentaries. Wes even looked out for koalas, kangaroos and wallabies that we wanted to see (and saw) in the wild. Our family really enjoyed this day. Gracias!

Amazing Experience with Melbourne Touring Company We chanced upon this tour when reading through another review. We did not regret a single moment in this trip. From the time we were picked up till the time we were dropped back at the hotel, this entire trip felt like an Australian road trip with stops at scenic places along the Great Ocean Road and viewing wildlife such as koalas and kangaroos in their natural habitat. Most of all, our tour guide, Wes Albert was really one of the best guides we have had in our trip. He suggested to take the opposite route where we headed straight to the Twelve Apostles and then moved down the road and then back to Melbourne. This helped us to beat the crowds from larger tours and enabled us to have more time at scenic places for photography. Wes also provided so much information about the Great Ocean Road, and we also enjoyed conversing generally about Australia with him! We definitely learned a lot more through this trip and would recommend to others, especially those who prefer to customise their trip and to have more private time, while being guided. The vehicle provided was also very clean and tidy, and they provided us with water, wet wipes and ensured that we had ample toilet breaks throughout the journey. Wes also went the extra mile to take good photos for us and they turned out really well! Please consider this company for your trips as well!

Great Ocean dr tour The Great Ocean driver reverse tour and the guide Wes were amazing. I wanted to customise the tour as per my preference. John and Wes were good to suggest private tour and the reverse travel option worked so well that we got ample of time at 12 apostles with less tourists. I highly recommend Melbourne Touring Co for the Great Ocean drive tour.

Amazing views The views were amazing and we took a lot of beautiful photos. Our tour guide, Wes, was very friendly and knowledgeable. The whole trip took around 12 hours, was long but very enjoyable ride.

Beautiful We were a group of around 35 pax and we did the Healesville Sanctuary Zoo & Yerring Station wine tour. John was an immense help from the first email, very clear tour options with cost, always kept in contact. Our guides were also very helpful and friendly throughout the tour. Yerring Station a beautiful spot and services. Loved it.

Be Prepared to be Amazed! We had the best time on this tour. Royce was great. He made it easy and fun. Door to door service. I have more photos of this tour than any of the others I went on. It was very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you !

We had Adam take us on a winery tour down the Mornington Peninsula and we all loved it and will definitely be using this company again! Thankyou for a great day!

Great experience with Melbourne touring co, our driver was punctual, professional and fun! Accommodated to all dietary requirements and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and were happy. Would definitely use their services again!

Beautiful drive — no where like it! Terrific drive — don’t miss it. Even with a little bit of rain, it was a stellar day-out. We took the shorter route - 9 hours instead of twelve, and it was just right. Stopped first at the Twelve Apostles, before the crowds got there — in fact, we were ahead of the crowds all day, which made it much more enjoyable. Don’t miss it!

Mornington Peninsula Winery and Lunch Tour - very enjoyable day! Thank you John for organising this private winery and lunch tour for us and our driver Michael on the day. It was a very enjoyable day, visited couple wineries, a brewery and lunch at the Cup Estate.. Great wine tasting and hospitality! The food at The Cup Estate was superb! Highly recommended!

Best experience 2023 I had an amazing time in rosebud for a wine tour with the amazing John and Mark.

They played a significant role in my birthday weekend and topped it off, everyone invited enjoyed it and we can’t stop talking about the amazing experience we had.

I recommend booking with John and Mark I assure you won’t be disappointed.

Awesome day We had an amazing day. Great driver full of information and we took heaps of photos. Would recommend this company to everyone.

One day trip --- Great Ocean Road -- Torrens University Melbourne Campus Student Joined a memorable school excursion with Torrens University to explore the stunning Great Ocean Road, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our driver and tour guide, John, was exceptional - his passion for the area and extensive knowledge truly enhanced our adventure.

The 12-hour journey was meticulously planned, ensuring we soaked in every major highlight and some hidden gems along the scenic route. John's storytelling and fun facts kept us engaged, providing a deeper appreciation for the landmarks and local culture.

The Melbourne Touring Company did an outstanding job orchestrating this trip, striking the perfect balance between sightseeing, relaxation, and education. I'm eager to embark on another tour with them and uncover more treasures in and around Melbourne. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an enriching and enjoyable day out!

Good tour The trip to the Grampians Day Trip were excellent from the Torrens Uni. The bus driver told us about the history of Melbourne and was knowledgeable about many different things. It was fun

Grampians One Day Trip The trip to the Grampians Day Trip were excellent. The service is really nice and the bus driver even told us about the history of Melbourne which for me as an international student really appreciates the effort. Overall very satisfied.

University day trip We had a great time, we took tons of photos and we even got to visit McKenzie Falls aswell, on the way back we even saw some deer and kangaroos.

Exceptional Day Trip to Grampians National Park Organising our university day trip with John was very smooth. Communication via email and phone calls was efficient, he arrived early on campus, ready for departure, and he even made accommodations for us with requested stops. The Grampians National Park blew us away (literally!) Despite the rain, we embraced the adventure of a lifetime, thanks to John and Melbourne Touring Company. Set at very affordable price with safety always ensured, 10/10 highly recommended! We loved the experience so much that we are now using Melbourne Touring Company for all our university day trips!

Torrens University Australia Grampians Hiking Day Trip Even though is rained when hiking the Grampians, the energy from the team was good:) and the driver of the tour was really nice friendly and polite, so it didn't matter what the weather was like, the University Team knew we'd have fun. And I liked the music in the bus, it took me back a couple of decades to all my favourites! And we took too many pictures and now we have a lot of memories hahaha

We booked a full-day private tour to Phillip Island and it was fantastic. John was responsive in replies while planning the tour itinerary. During the tour, he was punctual, accommodating and knowledgeable. We like his attitude and enjoyed his company :)

ROTARIANS HAVING FUN I organised a 4 day itinerary for 19 friends prior to attending the 2023 Rotary International Convention. John was so easy to work with, suggesting the itinerary and lots of flexibility. We did a bit of everything from wineries and a delicious degustation lunch at The Cups Estate. We enjoyed the afternoon floating in the Peninsula Hot Springs. The next day, we made our way down to Phillip Island via the Millionaire's walk at Sorrento, and fish and chips at San Remo. On the island, we enjoyed Nobbys head, Panny's chocolate and of course, the amazing penguin parade. The third day, we explored Walhalla gold mining town, with a local historian, and the long tunnel with a different tour guide. The fourth day, we checked out the beautiful Dandenongs, starting with a Puffing Billy ride. Back into Melbourne on Thursday afternoon.

An unforgettable trip! Fantastic tour!!!
The most stunning scenery throughout the trip.
Great guide (Red) , we had a lot of fun (dad jokes and sing alongs) keeping us entertained throughout the 14 hour long trip.
Couldn’t fault it. An unforgettable day!
Small coach, only 24 people. Plenty of stops for food and comfort breaks.

Great service, happy customer We had an amazing full day trip to Mornington Peninsula with driver and tour guide John.
John helped us with the itinerary, was calm and patient and provided us with great insights throughout the trip, including suggestion for an amazing lunch in a local place.

Very Satisfied Customer MTC provided us the best and most flexible way to manage our group of 28 people. John was great with idea and Neil Allan, our guide and driver was the best fella for the job. We booked a City Tour on Day 1, Yarra Valley day tour on Day 2 and The Great Ocean Road on Day 3.
The journey were pleasant and accommodative by Neil, food at the Boat O Craigo vineyard was superb at the Yarra and we even had the Wave Restaurant opened on their day off at Port Campbell during our Great Ocean Road trip arranged by John.
Overall, if we were to be doing this again, i will book MTC.

Late summer in the Grampians Craig, our driver & guide, was very interesting and informative. Beautiful scenery with a mix of trees,geology & wildlife. Mackenzie falls had plenty of water flowing through it, which put a ‘cherry’ on a great day.

Mornington Peninsula Day Trip - John and Lawrence were fantastic. We were a trip organized by UniLodge, going down to the Mornington Peninsula for the day. John and Lawrence took us to the Rocky Creek Berry farm for a pick-your-own-punnet, to the Arthurs Seat Lookout for a roundtrip on the cable-car, down along the Millionaire's walk for stunning bayside views (from Sorrento to the east all the way to the Bellarine Peninsula on the other side), then we had lunch together at the Point Nepean Historical Quarantine Facility before capping off the trip with a walk to the backbridges and London Bridge rock formation.

John and Lawrence were patient, informative, and very accommodating, and I was especially fond of the stories they told as well. I'll be keen on a trip with this company again in the future. :)

They go the extra mile The bus trip was smooth and comfortable. John was an amazing driver and made sure everyone felt comfortable.

Yarra Valley Winery Tour was the best with MTC!! We organised a Corporate Winery Tour with MTC for roughly 30 people to celebrate our company's quarterly results. The entire event went so smoothly and John was so accommodating and flexible with our requests - making sure everyone, including those who didn’t drink, had a fabulous time.

John picked us up right on time at our office and provided a comfy bus to take us to/from Yarra Valley. On the way he shared some interesting stories about the region that made the 1 hour ride to the winery fly. John's recommendation to visit Boat O Carigo is 100% spot on - beautiful views, yummy food and amazing wine! We then visited Yarra Valley Chocolate Factory for Chocolate tasting which was a brilliant way to end the day.

I recommend the Melbourne Touring Company for a wonderful experience at the Yarra Valley and will be booking again in the future for more fun team-bonding events!

John was unbelievably professional and punctual from door to door. We hired him to drive a party of 16 on a winery tour, and he couldn’t have been more accommodating of us. He really went the extra mile to make the day a great one. Thanks John!

Adam provided great service and was a great guy to spend the day with!

Adam really made our winery tour the best it could possibly be. He gave us the best experience! 10/10

Wow! Lost for words with the service we received on our winery tour today. Our driver Adam went above and beyond with his service and can’t recommend there tour enough. Thank you Adam

Completed our Trip This service was amazing! There were 12 of us down at the Peninsula for my brothers bucks party over a weekend, and the Saturday was entirely spent with the driver John who took great care of us. His recommendations were exceptional and he was great to have a chat with. Would recommend for any big or small group heading down there looking for an activity.

Unreal service! Unreal Tour! We had a Bucks tour around the Mornington Peninsula last weekend with John and he was absolutely unreal with the group. The organisation beforehand, communication and hard work selecting venues was second to none and I can’t recommend John and MTC enough. John is fun, down to earth and the perfect person to look after your group. You won’t be disappointed.

I recently organised a Mornington Peninsula winery tour for my birthday with 11 of my friends and we had the best day! John was very easy and great to deal with. He was very accommodating and made sure the day was very special for all of us such as taking photos, getting VIP service at the wineries and more. I would definitely recommend Melbourne Touring Co. This is our 2nd time booking with them and both times were awesome. Thanks John and team! :)

Amazing Full day private wine tour Mornington - dog friendly too! John was a great driver, knowledgeable, good conversation and planned a fantastic itinerary for us and our pooch to go on in March. Highly recommend!

The BEST Mornington Peninsula Winery Tour Did a winery tour at Mornington Peninsula for my 25th Birthday with a large group of 19 and from the start of organising the whole event to the actual big day John was literally the best could not ask for a better company to go with.

John was so accomodating when planning out the itinerary and which wineries to go to as well as the rescheduling of dates due to the lockdowns and the numerous changes of numbers. He was so friendly and knowledgable and ended up being our tour guide for the day and he truly went beyond for our group helping us take photos and etc.

We went to Point Leo Estate (must visit), Old Apple Shed (loved the cider tasting was one of my favourite stops and had a cheese platter for us to share), Red Hill Estate and The Cups Estate for lunch (was delicious). Overall great value for money and was a very memorable tour I definitely recommend the Melbourne Touring Company and John :)

A memorable and fun day We did a Mornington Peninsula Winery tour last Sunday to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday. John, our tour organiser and driver for the day was fabulous. We were collected from our home at 9.30am and our first stop was Point Leo Estate for wine tasting. We then went to Red Hill Estate and had the wine tastings matched with food. This was amazing and we highly recommend doing this. The food was delicious and paired perfectly with the wine. The service here was outstanding and we felt very welcomed. Another highlight was our degustation lunch at The Cups. The food was exceptional. We would definitely recommend John and this tour to anyone. It was such a fun day despite the cold weather.

28th Birthday Blast! For mine and a girlfriends birthday, we booked a winery through Melbourne Touring Company and it did not disappoint! John or (Uncle John) as we called him by the end of it, was a perfect gentlemen chauffeur who came with a wealth of knowledge of each vineyard we visited. We all had such a blast! Highly recommend this company. I want to book the next one asap!

Cheers
