Yarra Valley: Foodies Tour, Chandon & Kangaroo SafariYou’ll taste your way through Yarra Valley’s best cheeses and wines (plus chocolate), sip sparkling at Chandon with vineyard views, and end your day spotting wild kangaroos in their element. With city pickup included and a local guide who keeps things real, this tour feels more like a day out with friends than anything formal.
Melbourne: Yarra Valley Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour & TastingsYou board from Central Melbourne and hop on and off the bus at your chosen Yarra Valley stops — wineries, gin distilleries, breweries — on an hourly loop. Tastings are your responsibility to book and pay for, but staff recommend venues and you keep a storage box for purchases. No rental car, no fixed itinerary, just you and the region's wine and produce.Is it for me?Book this if you want to explore Yarra Valley wine region without renting a car or committing to a fixed group itinerary — the hourly loop gives you the freedom to linger at venues you love and skip the ones that don't appeal, which is what makes a self-paced day possible.
Yarra Valley Wine Tour: Hop-On Hop-Off from MelbourneYou board a hop-on hop-off bus from Melbourne and choose which of the Yarra Valley's wineries, breweries and distilleries to visit across four stops. The bus loops hourly, audio commentary guides you between venues, and a storage box holds your purchases. You book tastings directly with each venue and manage your own pace — no fixed schedule, no group timing. Bottled water and transportation are included; the timetable arrives by email so you can plan your day before you go.Is it for me?This works well if you want to taste across multiple Yarra Valley venues without driving yourself or being locked into a group's schedule — the hourly loops and self-paced stops mean you spend your time where it matters to you, and the staff recommendations help you choose venues that fit what you're after.
Melbourne: Crime History Walking Tour & Little Lon StoriesYou’ll walk Melbourne’s laneways with a real historian, hear gritty stories about gangsters and madams, peek at old police photos, and stand outside buildings that once hid brothels or sly grog shops. Expect laughter, strange details you won’t forget, and moments when the city feels both familiar and completely new.
Half Day Wine Tour Yarra Valley: 3 Wineries, No Early StartYou skip the predawn pickup and start at noon instead, visiting three Yarra Valley wineries with all tastings covered. Small groups mean you're not jostling for space at the bar, and the itinerary flexes slightly depending on what's available that day — which keeps it from feeling like a script. Cheese and charcuterie are optional purchases, and you're back in Melbourne by early evening.Is it for me?Right for wine drinkers who'd rather skip the 6am pickup and prefer a leisurely afternoon pace. Plan for about five hours out of the city — that's what gives you three wineries, proper time at each, and a return by early evening.
Melbourne Private City Tour: Laneways, Neighborhoods & Local CultureYou get a local host who knows Melbourne's laneways, neighborhoods and makers personally, not from a script. The day includes hotel pickup, coffee, lunch, and a luxury private vehicle—no group, no fixed route, just you and your host deciding where the afternoon goes. Half-day ends at 2 pm; full-day wraps between 4 and 5 pm.Is it for me?Book this if you want to understand how Melbourne actually works—the neighborhoods, the makers, the culture—without arranging transport, timing yourself or following a fixed route. A local host and a private vehicle mean you move at your own pace and steer toward what interests you.
Yarra Valley: Wine Tasting Day Trip with Lunch & PickupYou’ll taste your way through five unique Yarra Valley wineries with a local guide, sample chardonnay and pinot noir straight from the source, enjoy a relaxed lunch overlooking vineyards, and share stories with passionate winemakers. Expect real warmth, unexpected flavors, and maybe even a wandering winery dog or two.
Melbourne City Highlights & Penguin Parade: 12-14 hoursYou get Melbourne's main landmarks—street art, gardens, cathedrals, and civic buildings—in the morning, then travel to Phillip Island for the Penguin Parade at dusk. The guide handles all navigation and entry fees; you just show up and move between the stops. It's a long day, but it covers two very different sides of Victoria without you arranging transport or timing yourself.Is it for me?This tour works well if you want to see Melbourne's main sights and the Penguin Parade in one day without arranging your own transport or timing the evening wildlife moment—the guide handles the logistics and the long drive, so you just move from one stop to the next.
Melbourne: Sports Precinct Walk & MCG Tour ComboYou’ll follow local stories along Melbourne’s Yarra River, wander through iconic stadiums like Rod Laver Arena and AAMI Park, then step inside the legendary MCG for a behind-the-scenes tour.

Virtual Reality Escape Room Melbourne: 40-50min Team AdventureYou and your team enter separate VR rooms but solve one shared mission together across 40-50 minutes, moving freely through ancient Egypt and the moon landing to crack puzzles. You get an in-game photo shoot, the full experience, and a post-game photo with props before you leave. Book a time that works for your group size and show up ready to move.Is it for me?Right for groups of friends, families, or teams who want to do something together that actually requires teamwork — the separate rooms and shared mission mean you can't just watch someone else solve it.
