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.

Last Minute Day Tours - Melbourne & Sydney Tours: Reviews

Positive experience: Worth visiting area..

Fantastic experience: Excellent Service, bargain next day tour, Phillip Island and the penguins

Positive experience: Some passengers were rather selfish and chose not to follow the time limit set for each stops. It would be good to put in some more strict rules to avoid setting back all the other passengers. Other than that, it was quite enjoyable, maybe a bit of a rush but nice stories shared by the driver and definitely a beautiful scenery!

Fantastic experience: Affordable tour! Highly recommended!

Positive experience: This was a good tour for the price. The first stop at the animal farm was enjoyable, however, the second stop at the koala conservation centre was unnecessary. We had already seen a koala at the farm and and it cut into our time at the Penguin centre at the end of the day. By the time we got to the penguin centre and waited in line to get something to eat it was a very rushed then we only had an hour to see the penguins and head back to the coach. The coach was very comfortable and the driver was very pleasant and informative.

Fantastic experience: I've booked the half day Pinguin, Kangaroos and Coala Bears tour which was operated by AAT Kings. Last Minute Day Tours was by far the cheepest agency. The busses are clean and very comfortable and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: I booked a few tours from these guys in Melbourne and then when I checked the website of the company I went with, these guys were definitely way cheaper! Try get a last minute special if you can, but even if you don’t they are still much cheaper than others online.

Amazing experience, everything ran smoothly, and I couldn’t recommend it any more than - DO IT! Best time of my life on this tour, action packed days and it was so good to see different parts of Sydney and the wider area you might not have normally. Great value for money!

• €35 deposit on some dates Some departure dates offer you the chance to book this tour with a lower deposit.

Our guide, Rhys, was the best and I’ve made sure we all had an amazing time. However, 27 people to one guide is just entirely too much, not to mention dangerous. Aside from that, my only further complaint is that Intro should be more picky about the hostels they put their guests in. Nomads in Sydney was my first ever hostel experience and all you have to do is read the google reviews to know to stay away from there.

Sydney to Brisbane Experience: Bushwalks & Surfing

As far as tours go, it's great to have others to enjoy with. Wake Up was a nice hostel with a great breakfast included the first day. That day I chose to take the ferry to Manly where our tour guide Georgia showed us shopping, the beach, and this great acai bowl restaurant. From Sydney we took the 9 hour train ride to surf x camp in arrawara. The teepee I slept in was so cool. The surf lesson was great...but we only had less than 1 hour surfing in the water, if we wanted more we had to pay more, in the afternoon we went for a walk along the beach with some local indiginous people to learn about the plants of the area and try some, we stopped at the campground to find kangaroo. The food at surf X was good. surf x still hasn't sent us the link for the surfing photos though. Byron Bay is a great surf town, although I didn't surf Wake Up had free surfboards available...I had purchased the option to kayak with dolphins and didn't feel like surfing after that. the town had lots of little shops and restaurants and a walk to the lighthouse and furthest easterly point in Australia. The next day we went to Brisbane, after a koala bushwalk where we didn't see koala. In Brisbane check out Southbank and Queen street after dark.

Most of the Coast: Sydney to Cairns

Really good trip with value for your money. We saw a lot of Australia in such a short time, given how massive Australia really is. Our guide, Tamar, was an absolute sweetheart, knowledgeable, well travelled and very professional. This tour has the right balance of group activities and independent activities if you choose to do so. My only complaint is that some of the accommodations were subpar, which was disappointing given the high cost of this trip.

Well organized with great events along with plenty of personal time to further explore.
