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 friends from the UK joined us on a day tour to Yarra Valley Wineries with Paul @ Melbourne Elite Tours and we had a wonderful time. Paul was experience, knowledgeable and attention to details, which made our trip was very enjoyable. The vehicle was very comfortable too.
We throughly enjoyed our trip and will do it again when we can.

Paul took us out on trip to the Tulip farms and it was an excellent experience. Very well organized, Paul is a very good tour guide. He didn't rush and was dedicated to creating a memorable experience.

This tour was beyond expectations! Our guide noted our interests & showed us everything along this rugged coastline on our two day tour. We watched surfers at Bells Beach, views at Split Point lighthouse, the memorial arch, Erskine Falls & Teddy’s Lookout. We saw koalas, kangaroos & gorgeous parrots in the wild. Spent the night in quaint Apollo Bay after a lovely dinner. The next day, 12 Apostles was breathtaking, followed by a walk thru a gorgeous rain forest, Loch Ard Gorge, London Bridge, the Grotto & Bay of Islands. It was a packed 2 days but we never felt rushed. Paul was the perfect host. He handled all the details & saw to all our needs. Go with Melbourne Elite. You won’t regret it!!

Hi Helen and William. Thanks so much for the review. It's so great to have guests enjoy a tour so much. The Great Ocean Road is a fabulous place and seen at it's best over 2 days.
It was a pleasure to take you both over the 2 days. I enjoyed your company enormously.
When my wife and I come to the USA we will certainly get in touch.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the three -day tour that Paul assembled for us. The variety of sites and all the viewpoints for spectacular scenery ( especially along the Great Ocean Road from Bay of Islands east towards Melbourne were first-rate. The accommodations and meal arrangements were excellent.
One highlight for us how much we enjoyed our trek to the Pinnacle to enjoy the magnificent view from there. Paul added it in because the an Indigenous site that we would have visited had been closed and had not yet re-opened in time for us. He felt we were up for it and we were. This is how the Pinnacle is described:
“The Pinnacle
The shortest route to The Pinnacle
Time: 1.5 - 2 hours
Grade: Medium
Distance: 4.2 km return
Elevation Change: 110 metres
Start: Sundial Carpark
The track to this famous peak involves rock steps, slippery track surfaces, several water crossings and some rock hopping. Remember to wear sturdy shoes with a good tread and carry at least two litres of water per person.”
If you feel up to it, reaching the Pinnacle is worth the effort especially for the view at the top. It is a nice option to keep In mind. We did it and we are 67 and 70 years old.
We were so impressed with Paul. During the three-day period, and during meals or in transit in the van, he had several great stories to tell about his employment background and the varied outdoor activities he had done. It made for interesting conversation especially while travelling in the back country as we headed west and then south to join the Great Ocean Road.
Another notable aspect for us was the selection of music that Paul has onboard his most comfortable van. He turned on his playlist and, in addition to enjoying the songs, we would guess the song and the artist as we are trivia buffs. If you take a tour with Paul be sure to ask to hear his music while on the longer stretches of travel.
The tour was everything we hoped it would be (and more) and certainly worth the cost we paid. Paul conducted the tour flawlessly and was always attentive to our needs and flexible as required. We feel that met Paul as a driver and tour guide and we said goodbye to him after three days as a friend.
My wife and I highly recommend Melbourne Elite Tours for anyone interested in exploring the Melbourne area in a most relaxed and enjoyable way. You won’t be disappointed.

Hi Pete and Trish,
What can I say but WOW. What a great review. I certainly do consider both of you and Deb friends. I had the best time showing you a slice of Victoria that I love very much.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the trip so much, along with the music. It was an absolute pleasure taking you for the 3 days. Listening to all your stories about the places you have been over the past year of travel was great.
I hope to see you again in Victoria some day but when my wife and I visit the US and Canada again we will surely contact you to catch up.
Cheers
Paul

My friends and I did a three day private tour with this company. The tour included the Grampians and the Great Ocean Road in southern Australia. The trip was fantastic! Paul our guide was an experienced planner and excellent tour guide. Our accommodations were outstanding. We traveled in a new Mercedes van that was very comfortable. I highly recommend this company! You will not be sorry.

For over 700 km in 3 days Paul was consistently informative, professional and attentive to our needs. We visited Sovereign Hill for a fascinating mine tour, into the Grampians with its stunning lookouts, down to Halls Gap and then along the Great Ocean Road. Paul was always ready with stories and history of the areas visited. Very good accommodation and wonderful lunches provided. A few small disappointments such as missing the treetop walk near Apollo Bay could have been avoided if we’d had a better understanding of the timetable but overall an excellent tour that added immensely to our visit from Canada. We’d definitely recommend this tour.

Hi Linda,
Thanks so much for the lovely review. I had a great time showing you, Phillip and Ruth around some of the best parts of Victoria. Yes, it's a shame we ran out of time to do the treetop walk. It's hard fitting everything in with so many wonderful sights to see.
Hope to see you again in Melbourne some day.
Regards
Paul

Paul picked me up from my StKilda hotel and to my surprise I was the only guest on his tour. Paul took me to an amazing wildlife park where we had morning tea included after seeing the koalas etc then on to a seal watching area. Then dinner on Phillip island also included with icecream to follow then on to the amazing penguins.
Returning to St Kild near midnight it was the best day.
Thank you Paul

My family just got back from a 5 day tour of Victoria with Melbourne Elite Tours. The whole trip was brilliant. We loved visiting all the famous places including the Grampians (love coning back here), the Great Ocean Road, the wineries in Mornington Peninsula and Cape Schanck, Phillip Island and a charming train ride on Puffing Billy in the Dandenongs.
Thanks so much Paul for making this trip such an amazing experience! Would highly recommend this trip to anyone. Paul has so many interesting adventure stories. Ask him about Everest.

From the very beginning of booking the tour several months before we did the tour Paul was amazing to deal with. Paul responded quickly to questions. Leading up to the day of the tour and on the day of the tour Paul communicated with us about the weather forecast and had umbrellas ready for us. He met us at Station Pier Melbourne and his Mercedes V Class vehicle was so comfortable for the six of us. We had morning tea in Healesville then off to the Four Pillars Gin Distillery at Healesville for tasting. The story of how Four Pillars started and the gin, staff and location were great. Then off to Rochford Winery for an absolutely delicious lunch followed by wine tasting. After that to Chocolaterie then back to the ship. We were advised the day before we docked the ship was disembarking earlier and Paul accommodated the earlier departure. If you are in Melbourne highly recommend Paul. Amazing day
