About this tour
A private car service for groups up to 14 people exploring Melbourne and regional Victoria on your schedule. You choose the route — Great Ocean Road, Yarra Valley wineries, Phillip Island, or custom stops around the city — and travel in a luxury vehicle with a knowledgeable driver who knows the region well. Tours run 1 to 10 hours depending on what you want to see. Parking and water included; driver provides local insight rather than formal guided commentary.

- Knowledgeable drivers with strong local knowledge of Melbourne and Victoria
- Parking fees and bottled water included in fixed, transparent pricing

- Suitable for all fitness levels; no specialist physical demands
What to expect
You'll be picked up in a luxury vehicle and taken to your chosen destination or route. Your driver navigates and provides local commentary and recommendations along the way, but this is not a formal guided tour — expect a chauffeur service with insider tips rather than structured storytelling or scheduled stops. The pace and stops are flexible based on your interests and timing. You'll have bottled water available throughout, and parking is handled and included in the fare.
Trips can be as short as an hour for city exploration or as long as 10 hours for a full-day regional drive like the Great Ocean Road. You're free to ask your driver to stop where you like, take photos, or spend time at attractions — though entry fees and activities at individual sites (penguin parade, train rides, winery tastings) are extra and arranged separately.

Good to know
This suits anyone wanting private transport without the rigidity of a scheduled group tour: couples, families, friend groups, or solo travellers who want flexibility and comfort. It's ideal if you want to set your own pace and stops, and don't need formal narration — just reliable local knowledge. The service is suitable for all fitness levels; infants travel in prams or specialised seats with no issue. Key caveats: drivers are not professional tour guides, so expect conversational local insight rather than curated storytelling or deep historical context. Some major attractions (penguin parade at Phillip Island, Puffing Billy train) require separate bookings and paid entry — these aren't included. Peak times may affect availability; book ahead. Public transport is an alternative if you prefer not to hire a car.
