Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best day tours from Melbourne?

The most popular Melbourne day tours are the Great Ocean Road & 12 Apostles, Phillip Island Penguin Parade, Grampians National Park, and Yarra Valley wine tours. All depart daily with expert guides, small groups and hotel pick-up included.

Do all tours include hotel pick-up?

Yes. Complimentary pick-up and drop-off is available from central Melbourne hotels and select locations on all tours. Exact pick-up points are confirmed at booking.

What is the cancellation policy?

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before departure on all Victoria day tours. Full refunds are processed to the original payment method.

Are tours suitable for families?

Absolutely. All of our tours are family-friendly, with Phillip Island being especially popular with children. Our guides are experienced at engaging visitors of all ages.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking at least a few days in advance, especially during peak season (November–March). Popular tours like the Penguin Parade and Great Ocean Road can sell out.

Can I combine two tours in one trip?

Yes! Many visitors do two or three tours during their Melbourne stay. Each tour operates on a different day, so you can easily mix and match — for example, Great Ocean Road one day and Yarra Valley the next.
