PLEASE ASK ABOUT
PRIVATE & GROUP TOUR SIGHTSEEING OPTIONS
AND HERE'S WHAT OUR
CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT:
"I, being a sports mad
fan, loved the tour. The tour guide was very informal and gave useful
information about many different sports. My girlfriend enjoyed the tour
because driving on the bus gave her the opportunity to see many of Melbourne's
sites that otherwise we could not have. To finish the trip lunch at the
Telstra Dome was delicious with a beautiful view, which was thoroughly
enjoyed by all. It was great how at the end of the tour our driver offered
to drop us anywhere around the CBD. Overall it was a terrific experience."
