I found Cam via the Google several years ago when I needed to arrange for a tour for relatives. As it was their first time in Melbourne, of course we did the penguins! It was great - Cam listened, suggested multiple options and executed a fun, easy trip.
I've subsequently took several trips with Cam and several of his guides (Francois, Julie, etc) and each time, the trips have been drama free, stressless, and simple. Having been with multiple groups, they handle a van full of rambunctious kids as well as they do 4 adults doing a tasteful wine afternoon in the Yarra.

We had an unbelievable day well spent with our guide, Francois. He had several helpful ideas about our other trips and he was so knowledgeable about the places we visited. He took time to get to know my daughter and her boyfriend. And at the end of the night, he let us sleep all the way home since we had only gotten 3 hrs of sleep the night before and we had an early day ahead of us the following day. We all loved getting to know him. If you want an amazing day, request Francois for your trip!!
