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.

This is the 2nd time i have done this tour, i visit Melbourne every year and for the past two years have done this tour, with friends. Its a great way to spend a day. Tracey our guide was fantastic. We visited outlets that were out of way. It was great being able to just shop all day and leave everything in the car, it meant you could load up with shopping and not have to carry it. You get picked up and dropped off at your hotel. It is the most enjoyable and relaxing way to shop. The lunch was great time to wind down and talk with fellow shoppers. It was a great way to interact with other travellers. thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely do it again.

This is the 5th tour I've done through this company and I'm never disappointed. Tracy was a wonderful hostess. She was extremely patient with my mother who had hurt her back. The lunch was lovely and they catered for my daughter who's vegan and myself a vegetarian. We did buy some great bargains!! As well as seeing the city and surrounds with a lovely bunch of ladies. I will definitely go again next trip to Melbourne!!

The five of us had a great day of shopping with Tamara last Friday. Tamara catered to all of us also showing us some points of interest on the way. We saved heaps & had a great day doing it. We would all definitely do this one again next time in Melbourne. Also a very big thank you to Jess for her prompt replies before with all my questions. Thanks girls & see you next time.

I booked this shopping tour (through our travel agent) with my two daughters aged 23 and 21. quite frankly we should have just gone to a DFO outlet mall. we didn't find Tracey listened to what we were after, and by the end of the day one of the girls was so close to tears and car sick we should have bailed and caught an Uber back to town. Tracey was a nice person, but we felt like she was clipping the ticket on purchases with "her" stores and we felt a little pressured to shop where she took us. Most of the stores were either in the malls, or worse than stores in the malls. I hate giving negative feedback on anything but I cant honestly think of anything great about this day except another disaster holiday story!

The day was awesome, with plenty of bargains found and purchased. Tamara was an excellent host, and you got to see places of Melbourne and hear history, you might not have got to see/do on your own. Very enjoyable day - got dropped back to the hotel (which was great as I had plenty of shopping bags!! LOL). Would highly recommend to anyone to do this fantastic day of outlet shopping. The lunch was great as well.

Over from Adelaide for a shopping trip for my daughter's 16th Birthday we decided on trying the 'Bargains and Bubbles' tour and we were not disappointed. Tracey took us to some great places and there was something for everyone. We even managed to pick up some bargains for the boys back home! There were opportunities along the way to grab a coffee if needed and we all enjoyed a delicious lunch before heading out for more shopping in the afternoon. I will definitely be back to do another trip later as it was so much more relaxing have someone else navigate the traffic and not have to carry bags around all day. Thanks Tracey for a great day out!

Although I did enjoy myself, I did feel that a couple of the stores were a bit expensive for outlet shopping.

Not sure how anyone can say Tracey is an awful person!! She was friendly, fun and so accomodating! We had a beautiful lunch in a cute pub I had never been to before even though I'm from Melbourne and the shops we went to are great. Some not available to public. Saved myself a fortune!!! Thanks for a great day

Firstly Jess went out of her way to pick us up from our accomodation and then proceeded to discover what our shopping tastes were before taking us to many outlets. We got some great bargains and had a very enjoyable day, Jess is very patient and nothing was too much trouble.

We were picked up early and had a great day out shopping. Did some damage on the credit card. Loved the shops we were taken too - something for everyone. Thanks Jess for a great day
