Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Paul picked us up and we started with a drive around Melbourne to get our bearings. He told us a lot about the city and its history, all of which felt personal. Then we walked through the Central Business District, including the fascinating Lanes and their murals, the shopping areas, the lovely arcade. Then off to a private boat for a cruise on the Yarra so we could relax and see the city from the water. He fed us very well on the boat.

Paul was informative and funny, all of which made for a great day.

We sadly missed a different company's tour pick-up to the Penguin Parade the next day. Our hotel porter called them and they basically said, "too bad." We couldn't figure out what to do and decided to call Paul with the hope that perhaps he or one of his colleagues was going there that day. He wasn't, but Paul contacted that company for us and got them to solve our problem - they had a charter going there an hour later and we were added on. Can yon imagine someone helping a former customer out with his rival? I can't, but Paul went out of his way to do so. He deserves lots of kudos for doing that!!

So, not only did we have a fabulous day with Paul, but he gave us a second fabulous day by helping us out when he didn't have to.

My husband and I recently enjoyed a very special weekend of touring to Daylesford and surrounds with Acacia Luxury Private Tours. This has always a region we had dreamed of visiting and since we have not been able to travel overseas figured we would splash out and do it in style, which proved to be the best decision. It is a stunning region with exceptional food and wine – it reminded us of the beauty of Provence.

Acacia were amazing to deal with, the booking process was seamless with Paul offering prompt and detailed service. He worked closely with us to craft the itinerary and the various options in the region, he even suggested a number of options we weren't aware the region offered. He really did tailor the most perfect weekend to suit our interests and budget.

Stuart was our guide for the weekend. He was incredible with great knowledge of the region and connections with the locals. We enjoyed many laughs along the way and travelled in comfort in a new Mercedes van. It was immaculate.

Thanks again Stuart and Paul for an unforgettable visit. We will come back for sure.

Thanks for your wonderful review. Isn't Daylesford a stunning destination? It is definitely proving to be a popular escape during these trying times. It was a joy to unlock some of its secrets. Do come back again. Kind Regards Stuart

Holidaying at home this year, we researched and studied reviews widely before deciding to undertake a two day Great Ocean Road private tour with Acacia Luxury Private Tours. Booking was simple and efficient and Paul attended to every detail to make our journey just perfect even down to our preferred beverages and snacks in the vehicle. On the day Stuart collected us in a super comfortable and luxurious Mercedes Benz vehicle. Stuart grew up in the region and therefore was able to tailor the tour exactly to our desire. We wanted to see wildlife so he was able to take us to off road places where we were able to see kangaroos, koalas, emus and amazing birdlife in the wild. It exceeded every expectation. We could not have done it justice if we had driven ourselves. The whole journey is jaw-droppingly beautiful from the beaches to the rainforest and the unforgettable Twelve Apostles. All our meals and the luxury lodging in picturesque Port Fairy were perfect too. We definitely recommend the Great Ocean Road journey with the expert team at Acacia. Thank-you so much guys.

We cannot praise Acacia tours enough for their versatility and desire to please their customers. We had travelled from the UK to watch the Australian F1 for my husbands big birthday, including hospitality, helicopter ride in etc. Having experienced over delivery of the service given by Acacia tours on our great ocean road trip I contacted Stewart & Paul ( directors) to ask them to put something exciting together at very short notice for my ‘ petrol head’ husband. They excelled themselves once again with a rally driving experience and lunch, which my husband really enjoyed today, taking the sting of disappointment away of the F1 cancellation

Well done Acacia- excellent attention to detail and brilliant experience.

Thanks for the opportunity to play a small part on the special occasion. It was a privilege. To say I was impressed was an understatement. Thanks for being such inspirational guests and for sharing your feedback with other potential thrillseekers. Kind Regards Stuart

We booked an all-day tour plus lunch with Acacia and it completely exceeded our expectations! We flew in from Sydney for the day and our guide/driver Stuart met us at the airport in a new, very comfortable Mercedes van. He tailored the tour to our requests, including seeing older, Victorian neighborhoods, while also introducing us to such fascinating things as the street art scene in Melbourne. We had a lovely tea and a great lunch as part of our tour. Stuart is passionate and knowledgeable about Melbourne and transmitted that attitude to us. If you want a tailored, deluxe introduction to Melbourne, I can't think of a better way to do that than through Acacia Luxury Private Tours!

What a pleasure it was to escort you both on a tour of Melbourne MinCA. Melbourne is such a multifaceted city and so it is possible to truly customise a tour to our guest's special interests. On our tour we were able to apply greater focus on Victorian architecture which included a visit to stately Rippon Lea Estate. You were great company and I do hope this taste of our city might inspire you both to return one day. Warm Regards Stuart

Our fabulous driver, Adam, was with us for 3 full days in a luxury Mercedes van, and we toured the city, wine country, and the coast. Although it rained and was cool for 2 of the days, we saw the sights, and learned about the area. Our wine tasting and lunch stops were well planned, and represented the areas we were interested in.
As we were limited in our walking, he planned so that short distances were achievable. We absolutely recommend this tour company!

I had the privilege to do a three-day tour with Adam back in October. My excursions included the Great Ocean Road and a day hike in the Grampians. Communication was superb from the initial contact. Stu put together three days that were absolutely perfect. Adam was an exceptional host. His knowledge of the region was superb, and I really appreciated his suggestions on restaurants and things to do in Melbourne on my last day. I highly recommend Acacia if you plan on visiting the Melbourne area. Also if you do the Great Ocean Road drive, do yourself a favor and stay overnight in one of the cool little towns along the way or in Port Fairy!

We have had a wonderful experience with Acacia Tour. Their service (from the booking to the “follow up”after our tailored experience) has just been perfect ! We have had many private experiences with other agencies but the team at Acacia really knows how to deliver luxury and delicacy.
We couldn’t be more happier with our experience and We do hope to use them again soon!

Thanks so much for this feedback DanBenAdr! It was a very special privilege to spend this day with you and your family. Conditions were magnificent and it is always a joy to see the smiles following this unique nature experience with the penguins. I do hope we have the opportunity to show you more of our city and state on a future visit. Kind Regards Stuart

We had organised with Acacia a private tour to visit the Penguin Parade and what we got was nothing short of amazing. Stuart was a very informative guide and was very knowledgeable of the surrounding areas while driving us to Phillip Island. I would highly recommend Acacia tours while you are in Melbourne. You won’t be disappointed.

Thanks for this wonderful review Chris. It was a pleasure to spend the day with you all on the breathtaking Phillip Island. It really is nature's wonderland teeming with Koalas, Wallabies, Cape Barren Geese and, of course, the inimitable Little Penguins. We really appreciate your support and hope we have the chance to show you something new on a future visit. Kind Regards Stuart

My son and I spent a full day of wine tasting with Paul. From start to finish, the planning was efficient and perfect. Paul shared the history of the wineries as well as this fabulous area of Australia. We enjoyed the simplicity and elegance of lunch at Ezard at Levantine Hill. Paul made every effort to anticipate our interests and included a tasting at the Four Pillars Gin distillery. We likely would not have been able to experience this beautiful area of Australia on our own and certainly not in this comfortable manner. Paul's Private Tour of Yarra Valley was one highlight of our trip!

Thanks for your feedback Northstar! Melbourne is blessed with easy access to one of Australia's most beautiful wine regions - the Yarra Valley. We love wine and we are glad you do too. You may be interested to know that Four Pillars Distillery recently was awarded International Gin Producer of the Year at the prestigious International Wine and Spirit Competition. Come back soon.
