Knowledgeable guide, tour...
Knowledgeable guide, tour van desperately in need of new shocks. Wine tasting was too rushed, would have liked more time for tastings and visiting vineyards.
Response from the operator: Thank you Deborah. Getting back to the ship on time is a priority so we only advertise one wine tasting so you can also spend time with Aussie wildlife and sightseeing.
via Viator
Highly recommend this tour.
Wonderful tour. Bill was one of the best tour guides ever. We had a great experience visiting beautiful Melbourne. The bus van he used was clean and very comfortable for our group. The Moonlit Sanctuary was a highlight. Lunch was at an amazing restaurant. All gratuities were included. Wine tasting was included. Bill was amazing and had a great sense of humor.
Response from the operator: Thanks Audrey. Bill will love this feedback, esp. the great sense of humor! Did he tell you what that we call cyclists in Melbourne mammals? Middle aged men in lycra :)

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Melbourne Shore Excursion, Aussie Wildlife, Lunch, Wine & Sights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.
How much does Melbourne Shore Excursion, Aussie Wildlife, Lunch, Wine & Sights cost?
+
Prices start at $400 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 Shore Excursion, Aussie Wildlife, Lunch, Wine & Sights take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Shore Excursion, Aussie Wildlife, Lunch, Wine & Sights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 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 Shore Excursion, Aussie Wildlife, Lunch, Wine & Sights?
+
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 Shore Excursion, Aussie Wildlife, Lunch, Wine & Sights suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Melbourne Shore Excursion, Aussie Wildlife, Lunch, Wine & Sights?
+
Around 1 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Melbourne Shore Excursion, Aussie Wildlife, Lunch, Wine & Sights 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.
