Okay tour but felt way overpriced. Guide had basic knowledge but didn’t have confidence in answers to questions. At least twice was given misinformation.
Rob was great! Very friendly and very knowledgeable! He customized the tour just as I requested! Awesome job!
Thankyou for your kind review Melody, it was a great day.
Jenny our guide was great. We’d never been to Melbourne and wanted to better understand the city, the people and the culture. She organized a very interesting tour and was an absolute delight.
Thankyou for your kind review, Jenny is an excellent guide and I'm glad you had a good day with her.
Visit the main points of interest of Melboune: Eureka Skydeck (88 floors) with a spectacular view of the whole city, for 30 Australian dollars not to miss, Albert Park with F1 circuit, sports areas and the lake; Hosier Ln with murals and graffiti, St Paul's Cathedral, the art museum... A spectacular 5 hour excursion. The only drawback is the very high price.
Thankyou for your review Joaquin, it was a pleasure to show you the best of Melbourne.
During our Princess cruise, we decided to book a private tour with Your Exclusive Tours rather than purchasing an excursion through the cruise line, a decision that exceeded all expectations. Our guide, Kylie, demonstrated exceptional professionalism while maintaining an engaging and personable approach throughout the experience. Kylie's extensive local knowledge and flexibility were particularly impressive. She successfully accommodated our planned itinerary while seamlessly incorporating a last-minute request when we discovered the Formula 1 Grand Prix was taking place that weekend. She made every effort to bring us as close to the track as possible, enhancing our overall Melbourne experience. Her attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm for sharing her city were evident throughout the tour. When we unexpectedly encountered a McLaren F1 display in a local establishment, Kylie graciously allowed time for us to view the care and take a lot of photos. Additionally, her restaurant recommendation for lunch was excellent, and she ensured we returned to the port well ahead of our departure. I wholeheartedly recommend the Melbourne Sights & Sounds Private Tour by Your Exclusive Tours. Kylie's expertise and dedication to providing an exceptional experience making this tour invaluable for both first-time visitors and returning guests to Melbourne. As a travel advisor, I consider Your Exclusive Tours a premier recommendation for clients visiting Melbourne, confident that they will gain unique insights into the city while enjoying a professionally curated experience. Blending a combination of local expertise, personalized service, and genuine hospitality makes this tour an outstanding choice for travelers seeking an authentic Melbourne experience.
Thankyou for your kind review, we're glad you had such a great day with Kylie.
Kylie was a very good guide for us. She is one of the actual owners of the company along with her husband Rob so it’s a family run operation. well organized and coordinated. We got a an excellent cross-section of the city of Melbourne in many areas that was Designed for anything we wanted to do. They also have several other tours that they do including Phillips Island penguins great ocean Road and others. Her husband is 20 years and her 10 years of experience made her an excellent choice as they had great knowledge of the area which led to a fun day for us.
We had a fantastic time exploring Melbourne’s eclectic food scene with Jeanie! She is super knowledgeable about Melbourne’s restaurants and history. Although we aren’t a particularly adventurous bunch, our favorites were the crocodile, chocolate, and oysters. She effortlessly balanced a party of 8, all with different paletes, able to accommodate, adjust on the go, and find something for everyone. Some food tours only give small portions, but we were given very generous portions and walked away incredibly full and satisfied. Additionally, we loved talking with the whole group, as well as the passionate restauranteurs who gave us more insight about their amazing food. We got way more than we bargained for - book this food tour, request Jeanie, and you’re sure to have a great time!
We were notified in advance of our tour time and that our Guide would be Adam and where to meet. We were getting off of our ship and Adam was already waiting in the designated area. We discussed what we wanted to see and he was very helpful in coming up with an excellent itinerary. We were able to feed kangaroos and wallabies, and had our picture taken with a koala. We visited the infamous beach houses, street art and toured the city center. Thank you Adam for a wonderful tour!
Our tour guide Peter was very knowledgeable and friendly. We got to see the highlights of Melbourne and we got to focus on areas of most interest to our group. Highly recommend!
Kylie provided an outstanding tour for Melbourne’ city highlights. Kylie is very well versed in the historic attractions, answered all of our questions about sites and made sure our day flowed smoothly. A most enjoyable day in Melbourne. Kylie’s warm personality made our day delightful. Thank you, Kylie
