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.

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

This was a fantastic experience, for us as locals and our overseas visitors. We were able to see many of the sites of Melbourne in comfort and worry free. The pace is set depending on the participants agility. Car and driver were superb. Would definitely use again.

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 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.

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.

Favourite part was Sovereign Hill, could have spent the entire day there. The meal at Craig's Hotel was divine and the ambience superb. Transport was very comfortable, highly recommended day trip.

Thanks for the lovely review. I know what you mean about spending the whole day at Sovereign Hill. It's a fascinating place to visit. Craig's Royal Hotel never fails to impress for lunches. Hope to see you again in Melbourne some time.

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

We embarked on a tour to Melbourne, exploring the 12 Apostles and the Great Ocean Road with Paul as our guide. Paul's guidance was exceptional; he ensured we experienced the beauty of the 12 Apostles and even coordinated our helicopter ride perfectly. His demeanor was polite and friendly throughout, offering insightful explanations of each site we visited. Not only did he capture stunning photos during our helicopter excursion, but he also graciously shared them with us. Paul's punctuality was commendable, and his safe driving and genuine care for our well-being truly exemplified his professionalism and warm hospitality. Overall, I would love to tour with him again and highly recommend him.

Hi Bhoobalan,
Thanks so much for the lovely review. I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour. The Great Ocean Road is such a great trip, one that I do often but it's always magnificent. I'm glad you didn't get stuck with the plane issues in Perth and that you had a wonderful long weekend. It was a pleasure taking you both for the day. I hope to see you again some day in Melbourne.
Warm Regards
Paul

We left from our hotel in Melbourne and did the Great Ocean Highway, had lunch in Apollo Bay and were off to the 12 Apostles for a helicopter tour. The day was fantastic. Paul, our guide, was awesome, knowledgeable and engaging along the way. We would highly recommend him for a private tour if you visit the Melbourne area! There is none better!

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.
