What you’ll do

The kind citizens of Melbourne obviously had you in mind whilst developing their beautiful, sunshine-filled metropolis - why else does this astounding city offer everything you could possibly wish for on a family trip?

Melbourne is the capital of all things art and culture in Aus, and once you’ve thrown in some beaches, farmers’ markets full of good, wholesome food, and the local wildlife, you’ve got everything you’d need to keep kids of any age entertained.

Your little ones could dance themselves silly at the Camouflage Disco or take an Aboriginal Heritage Walk through the Botanical Gardens.

Maybe your tribe’s vibe is more ocean than the city, so you could head to a beach-side suburb where they can bodyboard to their heart’s content - one neighborhood we have in mind even has a vintage theme park, so even big kids (we mean you, parents) can join in on the fun!

The point is, whatever your family’s style, there’s a Melbourne to suit, and your local Melbourne host can’t wait to share that with you!

    We had a wonderful 4 hour tour with our guide Estela covering as many of the main attractions of the city as we could driving the time we had. Thoroughly enjoyed our day- the waterfront area, the spectacular garden show going on, other gardens throughout the city, Chinatown, shopping areas and other sights we were able to get to! Enjoyed learning the history of some of the buildings and areas. Highly recommend this tour and our very sweet and awesome tour guide!

    Although the weather was raining Hiroki our tour guide did a wonderful job of making sure we viewed all the amazing Temples and Shrines in Osaka We also got to see the underground metro and the walkways that allow young wanted to traverse Osaka underground. The flea markets were (Sunday) amazing to see All round we would highly recommend this 4hr walking tour of Osaka especially if you can get the tour guide Hiroki

    As cruise ship passengers, we only had one day to explore Singapore. Our guide, Shake, was very kind and fun, and he helped to make the most of our limited time. We really enjoyed spending the day with him, and learning about Singapore. Before the tour, Shake took the time to understand the types of things that interested us. Then. he was flexible with "on the fly" suggestions (all spot on) during the tour. We only wish we had more time!
