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.

The Welcome to Travel tour was absolutely fantastic. Our guide Clauds was so knowledgeable and friendly and all the activities were so fun. It's really good value for money as so much is packed in- surfing, wildlife sanctuary, beach days, city tour, and even some really nice meals (and more!). Plus I was pleasantly surprised by the brilliant amount of career and future travel advice and help at the end of the week- Welcome to Travel will look after you and plan your travels throughout the rest of your time in Australia. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone starting their travels in Aus- be prepared for an incredible week and to be exhausted at the end!

CHAZ! Was so great having you on our tour, you bought phenomenal banter and entertainment and I lived for it. Hope you're enjoying your time in Melbourne with the girls!

10/10.
The tour was informative, interesting and so so fun. The WTT team help you out so much with your travel plans as well as giving great advise if you’re looking to continue Aussie life working. WTT set you up with an Aussie SIM card, bank account and give you a two hour one on one to determine what you may wish to do once the trip has ended. Great help if you’re unsure what your plans are.
The tour itself is so much fun and great value for money. Billy is a great guide with a good sense of humour, the trip was jam packed but never rushed and very relaxed. Surfing was a particular highlight for me personally and I can’t wait to take what I’ve learned from the lesson to the great ocean road (a trip WTT helped with too!) We made great friends along the way too. #Steffen65 eating 65 dumplings at the all you can eat dumpling restaurant was a very amusing highlight ❤️
Thank you guys for a fabulous week!!

Just spent the most amazing week with the Welcome to Travel team. Clauds was an excellent guide whose love and passion for Melbourne is infectious. A full on week that really helps you feel you have seen the most authentic side to Melbourne. The variety of excursions means there is something for everyone but the support from the team is phenomenal. Information regarding travel and work during the working holiday visa and also getting sim cards and tax file numbers so early on gave great peace of mind. Would thoroughly recommend for anyone moving to Australia as the team really assist everyone individually with adjusting to a new life abroad in the most fun and relaxed way

Loved having you girls on our tour Katie! Looks like you and Emma are having a blast up the East Coast. I'll be sure to tell Jakobi that you gave up make-up after his tour hahaha.

Absolutely loving seeing updates from your East Coast trip with Maddie! Looks like you girls are having the best time. Thank you again for being apart of our tour you guys! Also don't be afraid to admit you love Melbourne more than Sydney.

We had a meeting with welcome to travel and we thought it was just going to be a 15 minute overview of some things we needed to know moving to Australia.
Turned out to be a 2 hour long plan of Accomidation, travel, trips, activites and lots more. They were so detailed and informative about everything, they personalised all trips and activites to what we would like specifically. They spent so much time with us we were shocked leaving that a company would actually go through that much trouble for anyone.
We travelled for 8 weeks, about 14 places up the East Cost of Australia. We had a few issues along the way, which wasnt anything to do with welcome to travel but other companies, and welcome to travel were on the phone to us straight away fixing anything they could. 10/10 customer service always available.
The price of the trip was unbelievably reasonable, noone at home could believe how much we had planned and booked for 8 weeks for such a good price, ideal for backpackers and travellers.
I'll be recommending them to all my friends moving over to Aus 🤠🌞

I don’t even know where to start…. Everything from this tour was just unbelievable and exceeded my expectations! The multiple trips, the knowledge and support from welcome to travel is second to none. Not to mention our amazing tour guide TOMMY what a legend! Saddens me it’s now come to an end, but I’ll be back booking these guys ASAP! Highly recommend anyone to use this company if you want to have an experience of a life time!

Thank you welcome to travel and a special thanks to my group and Mia!!! 😍

I had an amazing week on the Welcome to Melbourne tour! The tour was well-planned and you got to see all the gems and must-sees in and around Melbourne!
On top of great adventures and an amazing experience, you get to meet a lot of new people who you'll be tight with before the week is over! Perfect for couples, solo travellers or friends.
On my tour, I was fortunate enough to have no less than 3 guides; Nikki, Grace and Lauren! It's not exactly the norm at WTT but I'm so happy I got to meet all three gorgeous women! They did a really great job and did everything in their power to give all of us an amazing experience! Thank you so much!
If you want the best introduction to Melbourne and Australia in general, don't hesitate, just book the tour! You will absolutely not regret it!

Huge credit to the welcome to travel team for pulling this off week in week out and a huge thank you, especially to Billy and Daryl! Billy was our awesome guide for the week and Daryl has helped us plan the rest of our year here.

Had the best welcome week with Welcome to Travel! Natasha, our guide, really was the main reason. She made sure we were all looked after, were at the right place at the right time and always had coffee. The tour ticked off some many bucket list activities in on go with no stress. The 1:1 meeting has meant my whole east coast trip has been planned out with no stress with the advice of someone who can offer their opinion. I definitely will be using this service again to book other aspects of my trip! I can’t imagine of starting my Australia adventure any other way!
