If you don’t have much time at hand and would still like to see it all, this trip is for you. Mike C went above and beyond to make our tour memorable and to give us an insight on the places we saw. (…) There’s plenty of opportunity to get off the bus and take photos or just soak in the landscape. We were lucky enough to even see a kangaroo on our way back!

Destinations
The Yarra Valley
- Prefer beer instead of wine? Ask us about the numerous micro-breweries in the Yarra Valley, or maybe visit Four Pillars Gin Distillery, recently named one of the world’s top 10 distilleries!
- Or maybe you’d prefer a stronger focus on wine? We can adapt our itinerary to ensure more opportunities to sniff, slurp, and swill.
- You might even like to add some Australian wildlife to your Yarra Valley visit. Healesville Sanctuary is a great way to spend the morning, before settling into some afternoon tastings.
Puffing Billy & the Dandenong Ranges
- This iconic, century-old steam train still runs on its original mountain track and is a true favourite with visitors to Melbourne. Well worth considering if you’re planning to travel with the kids.
- Perhaps include a visit to William Ricketts Sanctuary, discover the Sherbrooke Forest, or explore the townships or Olinda and Sassafras while in the region.
Melbourne City Sights
- Explore Melbourne on foot, in a vehicle, or as a combination of the two! There are so many wonderful locations in and around the city centre that we’d love to show you.
The Mornington Peninsula
- The Mornington Peninsula is Melbourne’s playground but is little-visited by international guests. Explore award-winning wonders including The Enchanted Maze and Adventure Garden and Peninsula Hot Springs, or maybe visit some of the area’s gourmet delights and wineries.
The Great Ocean Road
- Prefer to visit this iconic stretch of coast at your own pace? Just ask us!

Our Guests’ Feedback
Let me start off by saying I LOVE penguins and was very excited for this tour from the moment we booked. Even with that, this tour exceeded all my expectations. Our tour guide Gary was great and kept us on the perfect schedule to beat all of the crowds to the main attraction the Penguin parade.
(…)Our guide was excellent and had perfect timing which allowed us to beat the crowds. (…) Twelve Apostles were excellent. And we loved the quiet and majesty of the rainforest. Also alee saw quite a few koalas. Guide was fun, relaxed and very informative. (…) All together great fun, would definitely recommend.(…)
Mel C was THE best tour guide and completely made the trip….and it’s a long ride so for her to keep us all entertained, educated about her home country and having fun is something special! (…) Needless to bring up the great views on this trip, even with some fog in the air it was gorgeous! Thanks for an awesome day Go West Tours!
This trip was great. It filled up an entire day for sure, but worth every minute. (…) The sunset is breathtaking. The winds were high during our tour so we did get quite cold. I would recommend bringing layers to be comfortable.
We traveled from Melbourne with go west. Rachel was the most fun and entertaining tour guide while hitting us with some interesting facts. Got to sit up front too!!! Would recommend to anyone!!! Ask for Rachel!!!!
What a fabulous day. A tour that has a great itinerary and timed to perfection, well done Go West Tours and Yaszmin our tour guide.(…) we were delighted to see some Penguin s already at the boxes from the boardwalk there. (…) Just fabulous and would recommend for all to see.
