Welcome

When Melbourne's Best Tours, a small family operated company started several years ago, it was established with the aim of providing a different, and in our opinion better style of day touring. Our experience indicated that many people preferred the more personal service of a smaller group size where they could actually relate to the driver and fellow travellers.

So, with service in mind we turned away from what most of the larger operators were doing, with 50-68 seat coaches, and introduced our smaller luxury vehicles, concentrating on a more personal service.

Penguin Parade Visitor Centre It is important to know that you can trust that your tour operator will make sure your visit is enjoyable, safe and informative. Melbourne's Best Tours hold all the necessary tourism licences, subscribe to the Industry's Code of Ethics and is a "Certified Tourism Business".

Our staff are hand picked to provide the best and most professional service possible. You will always find us friendly and professional with one aim only - to make your day the highlight of your holiday.

Most of our staff members have had extensive working experience within the industry. They all prefer the more personalised service leading to better customer relations and are dedicated to our smaller family operated business.
