Be careful
We were extremely disappointed that this tour was cancelled by Trip Advisor 2 hours before it was supposed to start. Generally we are very pleased with TA's tours but this was very disappointing
Response from the operator: Hi Elaine! Thank you for taking the time to share this with us! We're truly sorry for the disappointment caused by the tour cancellation. Your experience does not reflect our usual standards, and we apologize for any inconvenience. Guydeez is about creating happy memories and because of this, we have already contacted you via your email directly. Once again our apologies for this inconvenience and we hope you give us a second chance. Warm wishes, Guydeez Team

Guide with zero knowledge
Gabriel was the guide who had zero knowledge of the sites. My husband and I travel a lot and we usually get private tours and most of it booked via viator. The guides we had was always knowledgeable, educated and able to answer questions about each sites. This time the guide who has been in Melbourne for only eight months decided to be our guide. He knew where to take us but if we ask him what, why or how he had no answer. He googled information when we asked him questions but hey we can do that too. I understand that one needs to make a living but if one wants to be a guide please be thorough and informative. We do pay a lot of money!!

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Melbourne Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private tour): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.
How much does Melbourne Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private tour) cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Melbourne usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Melbourne Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private tour) take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Melbourne is not rushed.
Is Melbourne Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private tour) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Melbourne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Melbourne Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private tour)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Melbourne Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private tour) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Melbourne Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private tour)?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Melbourne can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Melbourne and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Melbourne Private Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private tour) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Melbourne within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Melbourne?
+
On Outty we rank every Melbourne experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Whisky and Chocolate Tour, Yarra Valley Wine Tour w Exclusive Gin, Cider & Chocolate Tasting, Yarra Valley Wine Tour from Melbourne - Choc, Gin & Good Times. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Melbourne?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Melbourne?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
