Private Tour of Melbourne City Tour with Local guide /4 hours

Thorough. Upbeat. Time well spent!

We had a great tour of Melbourne with Mark. He is a really friendly guy and definitely cut for showing people around the wonderful city. A true local - Mark took us through some of the historical alleyways and side streets that we otherwise would not have found on our own. Of course we also ran by some local beaches and parks for the gram snaps! Make sure to stop by Brighton Beach for the iconic Bathing Boxes! Thanks Mark!

Amazing tour!! Very knowledgeable tour guide!

Great tour!! Mark is very knowledgeable and showed us the entire city!! We made lots of stops and took many pictures, it was especially nice that we also walked for about an hour to tour the city by foot! Highly recommend!

Enjoyable experience

We highly recommend Marks private tour for anyone visiting Melbourne . It was wonderful. He is very friendly, polite, respectful and knowledgeable. All of us enjoyed the tour .

A wonderful morning in Melbourne

This was the first time we were visiting Australia. Mark gave us a lovely tour of the city of Melbourne but also told us a lot about the history of the country and of Melbourne in particular. He was speaking slowly so that everyone could understand and drove us around in a lovely minivan. However we also took a lovely walk in the city arcades and hopped on a tram for a couple of stops. We had a great time and got to know the most interesting parts of the city.

A lovely day in Melbourne

It was our first visit to Melbourne. Mark was an excellent guide. He explained to us a lot of the Australian history, the history of the city and took us to many landmarks in Melbourne. We drove around for most of the day but we also went for a ride on the tram and got to walk in a few beautiful arcades. Had a great time!

Top! Had a great time!

Mark is an amazing tourguide, super friendly, full of energy, very empathic and very flexible in aligning his private tour with your schedule. I had a great time and felt very welcome in Melbourne. He told me everything I needed to know with a local twist and authentic information.

Thumbs up guide

Our trip to Melbourne was superb n marvelous thanks to Mark, who’s always on time. He took us to tour the CBD, the sidestreets n alleys to get a better glimpse n feel of what it’s like in Melbourne. It was an exciting tour, so we booked another trip to the Great Ocean Road, not only worth visiting bcoz of d breathtaking view, but bcoz you have the best guide to tour u around. With Mark as ur guide, you feel safe and secure, we give him a 10 out of 10 stars. Good Job Mark👍

Absolutely Fabulous

We booked a tour with Mark on our first day in Melbourne which gave us a great intro into the city. He was knowledgeable, friendly and a good communicator. He helped us be able to navigate our way around for our next few days and gave us some great tips. A great experience!

Great fun experience!

Mark's local knowledge - as someone born and raised in the area - can't be beat! Amazing service too - I had briefed him beforehand of my father's mobility issues and he really kept that in mind not just during the planning phase prior to the tour, but even as we did the tour. Really enjoyed our time with Mark, and learned so much about Melbourne even though I had been to the area several times before. Highly recommend!

Best Tour Guide in Melbourne

Wonderful walking tour of Melbourne followed by driving tour of outskirts of Melbourne - all in 4 hours. I learned so much about Melbourne from the combination of walking and driving along with Mark's vast local, architectural and historical knowledge. Mark was very interested in showing me the sights that interested me and not just the regular tour sights which I very much appreciated. Thanks Mark!

Great tour!

We enjoyed Mark’s Morning tour of Melbourne at one of cruise stops. He was very knowledgeable, accommodating and engaging. Four of us had a great time and were able to adapt the tour to our interests. Highly recommend!

Melbourne Introduction

This was a wonderful introduction to Melbourne and Australia. Mark was a great host - we covered the downtown area, took the tram to some of the outlying areas, and walked through some of the wonderful malls. I would recommend this service to anyone new to Melbourne or looking to see what they may have missed on previous visits while exploring on their own.

Mark Knows His Stuff

Very personable and knowledgeable. Tailors tour to your individual interests. Comfortable, clean vehicle. Also offered many other ideas for things to do outside tour’s limits. Highly recommended.

A Perfect City Walk

What a perfect way to start my trip! Picked up at the airport, delivered to hotel and then a 2 hour plus walking tour. Tram ride. Great knowledge of this beautiful city. The library, the gaol, architect and oh the arcades. My favorite was Block Arcade!

Mark was the best!

My husband and I did a five-hour tour with Mark. He is very knowledgeable about Melbourne and Australia. We wanted to see as much of the area as we could in our limited time, so Mark made suggestions that worked out great. We especially enjoyed the interactions with the koalas and kangaroos at the Moonlit Sanctuary. Also the walking tour of the downtown alleyways, and the Brighton Beach bathing boxes. Mark went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and having a good time...he was even our private photographer. We highly recommend him!

A wonderful tour

Our tour was brief and seamless. Mark was right where he said he’d be, right on time when we got off our ship in Melbourne. He took us to Moonlit Sanctuary, where he had arranged a koala encounter for us. Afterward, he showed us around the sanctuary. We had some time left so he showed us around the arcades and lanes in Melbourne, including the very cool street art, a walk along the riverfront, and through Chinatown. He is a local so he gave us a lot of really interesting information and history. Mark was attentive to shaping the tour around our interests. When the tour was over, he gave us a restaurant recommendation (fabulous) and advice on things to do in our other port. He even introduced us to Tim Tams, our new favorite cookies! Well done, Mark. Thanks for the great service.

Trip in January

Mark was an absolutely amazing tour guide! He picked us up from the airport and was waiting for us upon arrival. He greeted us with a goodie bag of Aussie essentials: Tim tams, carmello koalas, and much more. Mark was always on time and catered to ever need we had. He was very flexible and more than happy to cater to anything. He was very sociable and provided amazing insight about OZ. Being that we were an American family we didn’t know much about the history, tourist sites, or anything. Mark provided all his input and recommended great places for us to eat, shop, and hang out. Being that we were a family of 5 with boys and girls ranging of different ages mark always made recommendations that suited all our needs. Mark was a great tour guide and if you’re going to austrialla mark will make sure you see everything you want to see in a short or long time span. Great guide!!

Great

Mark was a wonderful guide. Showed us all around Melbourne included an animal sanctuary and Brighton Beach. We also got out of the van and walked some streets. Friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

A great day with Mark

When we travel to new city, we first try to participate in free walking tours to get a feel for the city and then engage a private driver to visit the outskirts or other attractions that we want to see. Fortunately, we found Mark Mark is a true professional and a gentleman. Working with him to organize our itinerary was easy and very straightforward and as a result we had an excellent afternoon. If we come back, we will definitely call Mark

Extraordinary Tour

We engaged Mark to do a private shore excursion for us when calling at Melbourne on our recent cruise. Mark was a great choice; firstly, setting up the shore excursion via email with Mark was an absolute pleasure - emails with questions were quickly answered and Mark had lots and lots of patience going over our tour and accommodating the special things we wanted to do. Bravo! We paid in advance though a secure online method with no drama. The tour itself was extraordinary: we saw so much and being a private group we moved at a very quick pace - we saw much more that those utilizing shore excursions organized by the ship. We walked downtown Melbourne, saw the inner suburbs, went to the war memorial, saw charming St Kilda, visited the "Beach Boxes" as part of a drive on the beautiful coast and took in other highlights. Mark also accommodated our special requests: we did a bit of Jewish history and visited a couple of synagogues in Melbourne and its surrounds plus we visited a Jewish area of Melbourne where we enjoyed bagels and could visit kosher shops. Very cool and much appreciated. Finally, Mark made time for us to visit the Australian Open (which was just getting started) so that we could see the site and hit the gift shop for special souvenirs. What a bonus! Small group and private touring is wonderful: its personal, you can set the pace and see exactly what you chose. Mark accommodated all of our wishes and it was a memorable day. Thank you! If visiting Melbourne (especially if travelling by ship when time is limited), Mark's private tours are a great (and cost-effective) way to visit beautiful Melbourne.

Einfach Perfekt.

Der Fahrer/Guide war sehr freundlich und kompetent. Einfach bestens. Kennt sich sehr gut aus und geht auf die Wünsche seiner Gäste zu 100% ein.
