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.

Our cruise ended in Melbourne and we had decided to stay there for a few days along with 3 other couples we were traveling with. Friends of ours had recommended Melbourne Private Tours and we are so glad they did. We booked 2 tours with them. The first was a city tour for the day we arrived. Dylan was our guide and he was terrific! He is very knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor and made for a very fun day. We went to the Botanic Gardens and Shrine of Remembrance, cottages on the beach and saw lots of street art. Dylan also made sure we had plenty of time to explore the market. When we booked the tour we asked if it could include Jewish sites but since it was Saturday we were told we would only be able to see them from the outside. But Dylan and MPT went the extra mile and made arrangements with the synagogue so that we could visit towards the end of services. The synagogue was beautiful and the Rabbi and congregation were so welcoming and we were so moved, it is the most memorable experience of our trip.
The next day we did the Great Ocean Road tour to the 12 Apostles. It was a 13 hour day and it was terrific. Our guide for this tour was Neil and he was great. He took us all along the coastal road where we saw amazing views and lots of surfers. We stopped at a wonderful coffee shop with delicious pastries. But I recommend not eating too much at the coffee shop because you don’t want to spoil your appetite for the fabulous lunch that comes a few hours later. Lunch was family style and the food was ready when we got there. It was so good we asked to meet the chef so that we could applaud him and his wonderful staff. Along the way Neil stopped at a few different locations so that we could see kangaroo, koalas and birds up close in the wild. Neil got a crimson rosella to sit on my husband’s hand and we got great pictures of a kookaburra. The 12 Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge were amazingly beautiful and as an extra treat we saw an Echidna in the bushes. We had a fabulous time.

My brand new husband and I selected MPT for a full day tour while visiting on our honeymoon. We only had one full day to get in as much of the sites as possible. Our day with Peter was jammed packed but we'll worth it!! From the moment he picked us up in his van we felt comfortable and relaxed. Peter is super friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about both the city's history and current going_ons. Some of our stops jncluded the Shrine of Rrnemberance, a lane full of graffiti, Brunettis for a cake and a coffee, and lunch at The Point. In the afternoon we travelled to Phillips Island to see the Little Penguin parade,which was a real treat. During the afternoon, our schedule was tested due to unexpected traffic and we risked missing seeing Koalas. Peter deftly adapted our itinerary to include a different koala and kangaroo sanctuary enough route, showing both expert knowledge of his city and ability to remain flexible and calm under pressure. Overall a wonderful day, would highly recommend MPT to any tourists looking for a personalized and locals view of this cool, cosmopolitan city.

Hi Kim,
First of all congratulations onto the weeding and all the best to both! It is always lovely to hear that honeymooners spend their very special holiday with MPT.
Peter sure is a Melburnian through and through, he loves to show visitors the “true” Melbourne and share his knowledge about our cosmopolitan city . He always knows how to handle “difficult” situation under pressure and as an MPT guide, he always will have a solution.
It is beautiful to know that you had so much fun at Phillip Island, it is always a pleasure going there and watching little Penguins in their natural environment.
Yours MPT Team

Despite this being my first time in Melbourne, I feel as if I have lived here for quite some time after having taken the day tour with Peter. It's quite incredible how in four hours I learned about Australia's, especially Melbourne's, history all the way through present day life here. Along with receiving tidbits from Peter for the remainder of my trip, I can truly say I have soaked up the culture and history of Melbourne. For anyone who wants an interactive, informative, and light-hearted tour, Peter will provide just that!!!

Hi Annie,
Thank you for your fantastic review and your time to write this to us. We really enjoy feedback like this and are proud to show you the city in this fantastic way. Peter sure is a Melburnian through and through and he loves to show visitors the “true” Melbourne. It is lovely to hear that you became, in the four hours, a Melburnian as well and now love the city as much as we do.
We hope to have you on another tour with MPT and Peter again.
Yours MPT Team

I enquired about a tour with Melbourne Private Tours and just received an email back with a quote of $1295 for a one-day tour of the Great Ocean Road for two people. Unfortunately, the owner left his internal email chain intact, so I saw the message advising the following: "Mate charge her heaps and lock it in i reckon 1295."
I am sure this service would have been nice, but I would advise people to check prices carefully to make sure you are not getting robbed senseless by this group.

Hi Sarah,
We sincerely regret the fact that you won’t be touring with us and that you received what I would describe as a very unprofessional response from our reservations team.
Let me be very clear however. You were not in any way overcharged for this tour. The quoted rate of AUD$1295.00 is our retail rate for a private Great Ocean Road Tour for 2 guests on Christmas Day.
This can be easily verified by requesting a quote from an extensive range of travel agents and travel wholesalers with whom we work across North America for a private Great Ocean Tour on Christmas Day with Melbourne Private Tours.
Anybody reading this would be most welcome to do so and will find this information to be one hundred percent accurate.
The internal communication that you inadvertently received has internal meaning and internal understanding – that being that our reservations team were to charge FULL price on Christmas Day without exception as we were/are already very heavily booked.
I can appreciate the way this looked to you and I find it deeply regrettable that you were included in this internal communication.
It was an honest error and a regrettable one. I can however tell you with certainty that you received a legitimate, honest and current quote for this service and this can be easily verified.
I very much hope you enjoy your time here in Melbourne and I am deeply sorry that we won’t have the opportunity to show you the "highly regarded" service that MPT provide.
Regards,
MPT Management

We took two tours with Melbourne Private Tours. The first one was with John, who took us down the Great Ocean Road. He was incredibly knowledgable about the area, and, thoroughly entertained us with great viewing sites of the beautiful scenery along the road, interesting facts about the areas that we traveled through and told us a lot about the history of the area. He was marvelous. He even told us about some of the things that we would be viewing the next day when we took the city tour with their company. Unfortunately, he wasn't available to be our guide for our city tour; we had a Mark as our guide. We found that tour to be a waste of our money. He wasn't very knowledgable, asked us if we wanted to stop at the Botanical Gardens, to which we said yes, and then never stopped there. St Patricks Cathedral is one of the icons of the city, and stopping there a few moments would have been great; I was sitting on the wrong side of the van when we quickly drove by, so all I saw of it was the steps and the bottom part of the doors. We took a long time at the Shrine of Remembrance, waiting for and viewing the Ray of Light ceremony, and that time could have been spent elsewhere. We also had no interest in driving around the Grand Prix Race Circuit, and that time could have been spent elsewhere. We also didn't see some of the sites that John, our guide the previous day, mentioned that we would be seeing. All in all, we were very unhappy with this city tour.
I am not sure how I should rate both of these tours in the same review, as I don't think that I could give two reviews of the same company. I would give 5 stars to our Great Ocean Road tour with John (actually even 6 stars if it were possible) and 1 star to our city tour with Mark. I averaged them out, and come up with a 3 star rating.

Thank you very much for your review,
As you can see from previous reviews, anything other than a 100% positive one for us is something that concerns us greatly and we take very seriously. I am very sorry that your City Experience didn't meet expectations. I have spoken to your guide on the day (Mike is also our longest serving MPT guide - having been with us now for six years). He is also disappointed that the experience he provided didn't meet your expectations. We've had some discussions with Mike in an attempt to get to the bottom of this. Mike spoke to our Operations Manager on the day and was concerned about his ability to deliver the itinerary as a whole within the allotted four hours of the tour as there had been a request from your group to check emails at Macdonald's. He estimated on the day that this had taken close to an hour - quite a sizable proportion of a four hour city tour. We take on board your disappointment at not seeing in sufficient details the key attractions that you have outlined. We also understand as an overseas visitor your need to stay in touch via email. To ensure that this doesn't happen in the future, management have notified all guides that when creating itineraries for city tours from Cruise Ships, 30 minutes will be factored in so that our guests make a stop to check their email/banking etc, without the prospect of missing out on any aspect of their tour.
I'm very glad that you enjoyed your Great Ocean Road tour with us and hope to see you again in Melbourne.
Warm regards,
Management

our group of ten wanted to go wine tasting while we were in melbourne when we stopped there on a recent cruise. months before our trip i contacted MELBOURNE PRIVATE TOURS to get a quote and suggestions. their response was prompt, and they recommended MORNINGTON PENINSULA WINERIES TOUR. the price was higher than we saw for any of the other private tours that we had arranged for this cruise which visited ports in both australia and new zealand. but having a comfortable vehicle and seeing all the inclusions listed for the tour persuaded us to book it. inclusions listed were "seated range tasting at Crittenden Estates, wine tastings (approx. 3 vineyards), morning tea, 2 course lunch with beverage,local guide providing expert commentary, luxurious private vehicle with complimentary water." further information provided by MELBOURNE PRIVATE TOURS listed highlights of the tour "a memorable coastal drive, passing historic coloured bathing boxes, scenic views from arthur's seat lookout, spectacular ocean and port philip bay beaches, seaside villages, wine tasting at local wineries - fully tailored to the interests of the guest, the finest mornington peninsula porduce with wine at a vineyard restaurant for lunch.
the tour sounded wonderful. had all the elements listed in the description been included in the tour, it would have been a wonderful day. but, sad to say, much was left out.
we did have a nice vehicle which accommodated our group of ten. it was clean and comfortable.
we did have complimentary water.
we did have a guide who provided commentary.
we did make a photo stop to see the bathing boxes.
we did stop for morning tea. it was at our stop for tea that the tour guide presented the option to see sorrento, something he described as too good to miss since we were so close, but he also explained that doing this would take about 50 minutes away from tour time, and that it would perhaps make one of the wine-tasting stops not possible. with three or four wine tastings listed in the itinerary, and a lunch that included wine, we felt that having one of the wine-tasting stops deleted would be okay, so we decided to take his advice and check out sorrento. i must also add that when we stopped at the cafe for tea, it was clear that our guide had not given the esblishment a heads-up that he was coming in with a group of ten. it was a lovely place. the coffee/tea and treat were all good. but the stop was not as efficient as it could have been.
the tour included ONLY ONE tasting at t-gallant winery. once again, it was clear that the winery had not been given a heads-up by our guide that he was coming in with a group of ten people. and, once again, i felt that the visit and tasting were not as efficient as they could have been.
we did NOT have a seated range tasting with sommelier at crittenden estates.
we did NOT stop at arthurs seat.
we did NOT have a seated range tasting with sommelier at crittenden estate
we did have lunch. it was a good lunch. but, once again, this stop very disorganized. driver had to ask direction to the restaurant. guide told us, initially, that we could order anything off the huge, multi-page menu. but after a few moments, and checking his notes, he announced that we could have only 2-courses. we had a great meal and a great glass of wine at the restaurant, but it was all very chaotic and confusing, because neither the guide nor the restaurant manager seemed to know what was going on.
the mornington peninsula is beautiful and i am glad that we got to see what we did see, but we were all dismayed and disappointed that the tour was not as described. as soon as i had access to cruise ship internet, i notified MELBOURNE PRIVATE TOURS about our experience and our disappointment. very quickly i received a response that 20% of the tour price would be deducted from what had been charged. when i returned home, i wrote a more detailed explanation of our experience, as the 20% discount had not yet appeared on credit card statement. once again, i received a reply quite quickly. the 20% discount would be applied. i am happy to report that the company is using our experience to learn how to do it better.

Dear fbokma, thank you for leaving us constructive feedback regarding your Mornington tour with us. Our replies to your private emails were prompt because we take very seriously all feedback, and it is disappointing to hear that after we have attempted to resolve your dissatisfaction, you have still written about our product and service here in this forum in a way that does not acknowledge our efforts to explain and remedy your dissatisfaction. Your guide Brendan was so surprised to hear of your feedback, and wished that during the day you had felt comfortable to discuss with him the final itinerary which your group agreed upon. You may have noticed that the review preceeding yours on Trip Advisor contained nothing but praise for Brendan. We hope that in the future you will give both MPT and Victoria another chance to show you our wonderful state!

We really enjoyed our day at Coliban. We were picked up at our hotel by Jeff who was a great guide and gave us lots of info about Melbourne and Australia in general. On our way to Coliban we passed through a small town, Kyneton, which was interesting. We met Duncan, our host, in Kyneton and together with Jeff we spent a great day learning about sheep, wool, kangaroos, didgeridoos (which Duncan played for us) in a relaxed atmosphere with lots of good food, laughs and chat. Sitting round the dinner table at Coliban we learnt more about life in Australia than if we'd read 10 guide books. Standing in the middle of the bush watching kangaroos run past us is something we'll remember for a long time. Highly recommended!

I wish to say many thanks for the excellent day that John had provided us.
Even though we were terribly jetlagged, he made it a day truly memorable.
From hand feeding the kangaroos and wallabies to spotting the birds and koalas, my wife and mum had a fantastic time interacting with the animals at Phillip Island Wildlife Park. Our stop at the Penguin Parade where we watch those cute little buggers come on shore has to be one of the most amazing moments we've ever experienced.
John was extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, and wildlife's habits.
He was even kind enough to give us plenty of advice and recommendations for the rest of our stay in Melbourne.
We'll missed the wonderful experiences until then, we hope to come back again soon!

We decided to book MPT for our day out at Phillip Island and the ranger lead tour as we did not have transport ourself to get there, plus we wanted to make sure that we experienced everything possible when there.
Our driver picked us up at our hotel on time at 12:00pm in a very comfy people carrier and drove us to Churchill Island to pick up our ranger for the day. The whole day ran very smoothly, the driver being there to transport us and our ranger to the various locations on the island. Everything had been pre booked with MPT so when we got to the various locations we did not have to wait to buy our tickets etc. As part of the day MPT had booked the exclusive ultimate tour for the penguin viewing which was excellent. At the end of the day we had been booked into a restaurant for dinner on the way home. We were able to order what we wanted from the menu as this had been included in our price for the day. Our driver was very friendly and chatted throughout the trip and made our whole day very enjoyable. I would definately recommend this tour group to others.

Indulged on a private tour of the city of Melbourne and are very glad we did. It was a morning tour and being driven around by Janet was like visiting the city with a dear friend. We visited Queen Victoria Market and the St. Kilda Market on our own later in our trip, places she took us on the tour, having had the introduction made it much more enjoyable. The cake shops in St. Kilda are wonderful. We also used Melbourne Private Tours for transfers from and to the airport. Another great choice. After a long trip across the Pacific, seeing Dave with a placard bearing my name was a welcome sight. On all occasions, they were prompt and courteous. If ever we have the pleasure of visiting this wonderful city again, we will definitely call on Melbourne Private Tours.

Hi heading your way in November for 6 days in Melbourne. Will need two tours minimum. My husband won't let me drive left side. Do you do private or are them a group up to six? We want private. Do you still do tours out to a SHEEP farm outside of Melbourne? I think there was one out in Coliban Park?
I know about your wine tours but this would be Sheering and a farm?

We took the Great Ocean Road tour with them in January. We really enjoyed the trip. However the only wildlife we saw on the tour were a couple of Koala bears on a tree. The trip takes most of the day. If given the option go on the Ocean Road on way up, rather than while returning .

Would it be possible to get a tour of the 12 apostles, being picked up at the Celebrity Cruise Port in November arriving at 8am and be back before departure at 6pm, for 4 to 6 people?

Do you have GOR and Philip island overnight tour? On overnight tours could we bring our luggage with us , as we are not sure the hotel that we would be staying in would keep our luggage overnight until we get back . Also, are GOR day tours very hectic and tiring ? Thanks in advance .

We did not do the overnight tour, did not see the need. We did Phillips Island in one evening.
The GOR is not hectic or tiring. We left at 9 AM and were dropped of at the jrestaurant we chose in downtown at 6PM.
There is driving/ riding but it was fun. Our party had people from 73Y to 60 Y. No one was complying . On the way back one could nap as it is not that scenic.
Would suggest to up along the Ocean and come back inland.

What does the tour cover? and can we be picked up by 9 am and returned to our hotel by 2 pm?
And what is the cost?

I sent my e-mail address to Wendy about a week ago and I haven't heard anything about a one day tour on December 6th for four people off a Celebrity cruise.
