Best Melbourne Tours & Day Trips
Melbourne is a city that truly lives up to its reputation as a coffee-loving, football-obsessed, and art-filled destination. From its stunning gold rush era architecture to its lively food and wine scene and charming neighborhoods, it’s easy to see why Melbourne captures the hearts of so many travelers. Whether you’re seeking out hidden bars in the city’s iconic alleyways or joining 100,000 passionate fans at an AFL game at the MCG, Melbourne offers endless opportunities for fun and entertainment.
Don’t make the mistake of getting so caught up in Melbourne that you never venture beyond the city. There are plenty of incredible day trips to destinations around Victoria that are just as impressive as the vibrant capital. Our Melbourne tours take you to explore some of Australia’s most amazing rural regions, from the breathtaking coastline of the Great Ocean Road to the world-class wine region of Yarra Valley. Don’t miss out on all that Victoria has to offer!
Melbourne Day Tours & Trips
No trip to Melbourne is complete with visiting the Great Ocean Road and Phillip Island to see two of Victoria’s icons – the Twelve Apostles and the Penguin Parade . Enophiles should pry themselves away from Melbourne’s distinguished restaurants to sample the top drops of Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula on wine tours from the city. For a Melbourne day tour off the beaten track, head to the Grampians for some of the most spectacular scenery in Victoria.
Visitors with younger kids in tow can entertain them on a day trip to Sovereign Hill in Ballarat or Puffing Billy in the Dandenong Ranges. Ski bunnies will enjoy the chance to hit the slopes on a day trip to Mount Buller and experience the snow at Victoria’s premier ski resort.
Discover Other Sightseeing Tours from Melbourne, Victoria
To further explore the best Victoria has to offer, join a multi-day tour from Melbourne to stay overnight in some of the region’s top locations. Two day tours to the Great Ocean Road, Phillip Island and the Grampians give you the opportunity to discover more of the breath-taking scenery in these stunning locations. If you are ready to head on to the next destination, jump on one of our tours to Sydney , Adelaide or Canberra for your next adventure.

Green day: 'the saviors' tour.
These 90s and 00s favourites are returning Down Under to play their iconic 'Dookie' and 'American Idiot' Albums in full.
Do you have the time to listen to Green Day live? Do you now have 'Basket Case' from the California-born band's iconic 1994 album Dookie stuck in your head? To celebrate three decades since releasing one of the records that defined the 90s, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool are returning to Australia to play it in its entirety — and to also bust out their American Idiot album from 2004 in full as well.
If you're a Green Day fan, welcome to paradise come Saturday, March 1, 2025, when the band will hit up Marvel Stadium in Melbourne. We hope you have the time of your life getting a blast of 90s and 00s nostalgia, complete with 'When I Come Around', 'Longview', 'She', 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams', 'Wake Me Up When September Ends', 'Holiday' and, yes, 'American Idiot' echoing.
Alice Baxley, Apple Music
While the visit is part of the group's global The Saviors Tour , which is named for their 14th studio album Saviors , they're clearly happy to keep working through their best-known tunes — and, while they aren't on either Dookie or American Idiot , 'Minority', 'Brain Stew' and 'Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)' have been on Green Day's recent setlist overseas.
In support, also bringing the 90s and 00s to mind, fellow California-born group AFI will share the stage on Green Day's 2025 Aussie tour.
