      Penguins and animal sanctuary day
      Lucy gave great commentary throughout the day, great tips for local spots to visit and even gave her jacket to a passenger for the penguin parade. Only negative was that seating on the bus was tight which gets quite uncomfortable with long legs

      Such a beautiful experience!
      We had an amazing time on the Philip Island Go West tour from Melbourne! The entire experience was fantastic, and it was made even better by our guide, Chris N. He has excellent taste in music, and we really enjoyed the playlist he played throughout the day. Chris was incredibly knowledgeable, well-prepared, and brought so much energy and humor to the tour. His jokes and fun personality kept us entertained, while his insights and passion for the sights made the experience feel special. He also made sure to give us great tips at every stop, ensuring we got the most out of each location. We truly felt like we made the most of the experience. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne!

      Highly recommended, loved it.
      Loved it, I can’t recommend this trip enough! The whole day was great from start to finish. Our driver Jacqui made ours (and the rest of the bus ) trip fun and informative. The penguins are amazing and the stop to see the kangaroos and wallabies etc was great.

      Jacqui was an excellent guide, knowledgeable, energetic but not too much so, and a smooth driver. WiFi in the van was a definite plus

      Great experience with Alisha in the Ocean Road
      I really enjoyed this trip. Alisha was the best guide ever! She was so kind and profesional, gave as a lot of information and did some stops to see koalas and kangaroos. She really took care about us specially when it started to rain. I loved she had “Milo” and not only tea for the morning. The landscapes on the road in this tour are stunning. I really enjoy it a lot. Thanks Alisha and Go West Tours!!

    If you want a quick introduction to the city, its history and culture, this tour is for you. Our tour guide Chris was great, shared significant information about the city’s history and cultural evolution. At stops he allowed enough time for short exploration and pictures. Overall, we are happy that we took the tour.

    "Great Stories and Laughs with Dave, Our City Tour Guide!"

    We had the pleasure of exploring Melbourne with Dave W, our funny and chatty city tour guide. From the moment we met him, it was clear we were in for an entertaining and informative experience. Dave’s knowledge of the city’s history was impressive, but it was his storytelling that really brought Melbourne’s past to life. He had a knack for weaving fascinating nuggets of information into every stop, from the city's origins to quirky facts about its hidden laneways.

    What really set the tour apart, though, was Dave’s sense of humor. He kept us all laughing with his witty jokes, lighthearted banter, and funny anecdotes.

    We got to see parts of Melbourne we might have otherwise missed — from historical landmarks to secret spots that only a local would know about. But it wasn’t just about sightseeing; it was about connecting with the city’s rich and vibrant history, all while having a good laugh along the way.

    Thanks to Dave, we left the tour with not just a deeper appreciation for Melbourne, but also a few great jokes to tell ourselves!

    A beautiful city with excellent network of public transport and varied activities to choose from . Sightseeing includes dockyards, botanical gardens, Parliament Street , St Kilda beach , federation square , shrine of remembrance to name a few and all these places are within the City limits . One just needs to buy a travel card .

    Had a great tour with Go West, our guides Hilda and Bill were so knowledgeable and made the tour really interesting. They also answered everyone’s questions giving advice on other things to do in the City. Would highly recommend, lots of stops and a great way to see the highlights of Melbourne in a short time.

    Rachel and Jules were our tour guides very friendly and happy. Rachel kept the tour entertained with her lovely witty and funny remarks about Melbourne and its landmarks. Would reccomend the tour any time well worth the 3.5 hours. Providing a coffee and the famous Krispy donught at the start of the tour would be a great touch.

    Bob was a terrific tour guide, he was knowledgeable & I learnt alot about Melourne. A 'Ferrari' zip around Albert Park circuit. A pause for thought at the Shrine of Rememberance & told to take a look inside the ANZ back at the beautiful architecture. Best 3 hour tour that was extremely entertaining.

    From our meeting point, which was easy to get to, our guide Felix, was a star! Great banter and amazing knowledge of the city and districts. Wifi on the bus was a definite bonus. At the end of the tour we asked Felix his to get to Victoria market, he very kindly showed us by dropping us off! Hope you don’t get into trouble for that Felix! Thank you again for making our day memorable, Sydney and Sally.
