David makes traveling a dream!
We initially hired David to line up a driver/guide for us in Melbourne. He then offered the same service at any Australian or New Zealand location, and since we were taking a cruise, we hired him for all the cruise stops. David made it all so easy for us. He was always readily available for any question or issue and the vacation flowed like a dream! You will see so much more, get to experience so much more, and get itineraries that are catered exactly to your interests and needs. There are obviously cheaper ways to travel, but this is the most desirable way by far. And you could not ask for a more conscientious or responsive person to deal with than David.

Thank you once again Helen for your wonderful feedback

We prefer private tours...
We prefer private tours mainly due to a prior ankle injury that makes it difficult to keep apace with tour groups. Our guide was personable, knowledgeable and tailored our tour to accommodate our modest physical limitations and our specific interests.

Adam was a great...
Adam was a great guide/driver. Took us to all the places we wanted to see and did not try to show us anything we were not interested in.

Dear Viator,...
Dear Viator, i apologized for this late review because until now i cannot gather my words how to described my disappointment with this trip. I have discussed our experience with the operator, however because it was relayed after 5 weeks maybe he did not care since they got paid already as per your customer service responded to me. Our recommended itinerary was not followed because the driver states that all is far and travel will take time in which we paid $1,186.00 USD for an 8 hour tour with guide and on top of that we were asked where we want to go. He cannot come up at first seems he was confused as well. We make suggestions but he said it was far. We end up going around the city, local beach ,empty zoo but winery food was good. We have a family on a wheelchair and was dropped off on a not disable location and so we have to wheel her at the side street. and carry the wheelchair in stairs. I am really dumbfounded. Thank you for your response of numerous apology.

Half day tour of Melbourne...was great!!! Highly recommend!!
What a FUN tour of Melbourne! Andy showed us everything possible for a half day tour....South Melbourne Market (a must!) as we could have spent a day there! Fitzroy Gardens, Catholic Archdiocese, Hotel Windsor, Parliament of Victoria, East End Theatre District, Royal Exhibition Building, glimpse of Chinatown! He really knows how to show visitors a view of Melbourne! Very enjoyable!!

Wonderful Melbourne Tour
Together with my elderly mother and teenage daughter, we had an informative and fun tour of Melbourne. Our guide was Jasmine and she was fantastic. A superb driver, flexible waiting for us as we stopped off at an enticing cake shop walking Acland St and so interesting with her local knowledge. It was a great day for all three of us, even in the rain! Thank you Jasmine.
