Private City Sights

Rated 5 out of 5

Travel the city streets, markets and parklands with your own personal guide for four hours to reveal the secrets of the city of Melbourne. This city has made an incredible transformation over the past 200 years.

We pick you up from your city hotel and introduce you to Melbourne and why we think it’s special; its cultural diversity, shopping, great food / wine, sport and events, beautiful parks and gardens, and it’s classic historical buildings. Of course if you have a special interest or knowledge of something you would like to see we would bedelighted to include this in our tour.

We start the morning by leisurely driving the streets of cosmopolitan Brunswick and Carlton explaining the heartbeats of this young city. A stroll around the Queen Victoria Markets is popular for tourists and locals, and showcases a vast assortment of goods in a very vibrant atmosphere. The Docklands is Melbourne’s newest precinct and is a perfect example of the modern style of living within the city. Our journey then traverses the many streets and boulevards of Melbourne city highlighting the historical, cultural and geographical changes over time.

Melbourne is a very proud sporting city and home to the unique game of Australian Rules Football. Many International events are staged yearly at various arenas such as the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne Park (home of the Australian Open Tennis) and Albert Park Grand Prix circuit. We travel through this sporting precinct only a couple of kilometers from the city centre.

We stop for morning tea at the Royal Botanic Gardens and visit the Shrine of Remembrance before making our way down to Port Phillip Bay via the Grand Prix circuit. We drive the esplanade and take in the seaside suburb of St Kilda before returning to the city via Melbourne’s finest boulevard, St Kilda Road.

What an Excellent Tour Jeremy Redmond gave us. He was very informative but also very attentive to our group. We had a private tour and the vehicle was beautiful. Jeremey started the day by buying us coffee, tea and coffee. A nice touch. He also asked us what our interest were and taylored the tour to our tastes. The tour around the city was wonderful and we topped it off with a drop off at the City Market. The vehicle was clean and well kept. Jeremy's service was perfect and we throughly enjoed ourselves. Thank you for a great day.

I went on a wonderful two-day Great Ocean Road Tour that combined wildlife and landscape viewing, some walking, and great dining. Jeremy was an incredible guide: knowledgeable and informative, fun, helpful, patient and caring. He even managed to get the right weather at the right places: sun, wind at the 12 apostles, fog and drizzle in the rainforest and wind and rain for our 10 minute stop at Loch Ard. It was a really perfect trip!

Jeremy was our guide in a spacious vehicle for 3 days 2 nights that took us on the Great Ocean Road, the Apostles, Port Fairy, Apolla Bay, & to an intriguing tour of the mega-fauna exhibit, Blue Lake, Hahndorf, Mount Lofty, Adelaide overview, & more. Accommodations (luxury & more rustic) & meals were perfect & at every destination the locals knew & respected Jeremy for the gentleman he is! He is knowledgeable & patient as he tactfully managed our tastes & different personalities to personalize the tour. We were able to see echidnas, koalas, kangaroos, various birds in the wild as Njeremy is respectful of nature. An amazing, memorable & informative experience.

It was nice to be a small group (4 people) and I very much enjoyed every minute of our Great Ocean Road tour! Wonderful and amazing trip: breathtaking sightseeing, wildlife, best local dining. Our tour guide Glenn had a lot of knowledge and did a fabulous job. I highly recommend this company to everyone and am looking forward to return to Australia and to book another tour with them.

Had a fantastic time on the 2 day Great Ocean Road tour! Both tour drivers Eddie and Jeremy were lovely, informative, and made for interesting conversation! Plenty of stops at incredibly scenic points along Great Ocean Road with an additional bonus of Eddie's brilliant photography skills. The hotel's view was stunning and dinner and breakfast included was lovely. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to explore more of Victoria with the stress of driving/planning taken out 🙂

FAQs

Planning a custom tour can raise a few questions. Here are some common enquiries we receive about our private tours, covering everything from group size and flexibility to accommodation options and extended itineraries.
Is private touring worth the extra cost?
That is a very personal question. It guarantees flexibility, and that is the great benefit of booking Victoria private tours. Unlike shared group departures, our private escorted tours are built entirely around your schedule, preferences, and pace – making every dollar feel well spent.
We operate private tours Victoria on any day to fit in with our guests’ plans and itineraries. Many people who book our private tours do so because our set group departure days do not align with their schedule – so a private booking gives them complete freedom to travel on their terms.
We do not have a limit to how many people we can take however we like to keep the guide to guest ratio at 1 to 8.
They can be, but quite often our private tours Victoria vary to fit the timeframes and special interests of our guests. As providers of fully tailored private escorted tours, we frequently extend itineraries – adding a day or two between Adelaide and Melbourne, for example – because there is simply so much to discover along the way.
You can certainly add extra days. The longest tour we have run for a group was 17 days. These take a while to plan but it is fun for everyone to discover new places and spend a bit more time in each place.
The places we use regularly are chosen because they highlight the very best of the region we are visiting. We are happy to change if something is requested and give advice while we are in the planning stage of the tour.
