Due to the small size of our touring vehicles, we do not have space to store luggage on board or on our day tours. For our&nbsp;day tours, we recommend that our guests keep their luggage in a small day pack, as it will need to be carried on your lap or at your feet throughout the duration of the tour. Most accommodation venues in Melbourne provide a luggage storage facility, please enquire at your hotel about storage options prior to the tour. For&nbsp;multi-day tours, please refer to the tour page for details of luggage restrictions.

Begin your day as you pass along the elegant Paris End of Collins Street, known for its upscale boutiques and historic buildings, including St. Michael&rsquo;s and Scots&rsquo; Church, which offer an insight into the city&rsquo;s rich architectural heritage.

&nbsp;

Your first stop is Hosier Lane, Melbourne&rsquo;s vibrant street art hub. Here, you can wander through a kaleidoscope of colours and creativity as the ever-changing murals capture the essence of the city&rsquo;s artistic culture. Moving forward, you&rsquo;ll drive by iconic landmarks such as the Magnificent Flinders Street Station, St. Paul&rsquo;s Cathedral, and Federation Square, each representing Melbourne&rsquo;s fusion of old and new.

&nbsp;

The tour continues through the Arts Precinct, where you&rsquo;ll glimpse some of Melbourne&rsquo;s most prestigious cultural institutions. Soon, you&rsquo;ll arrive at the Shrine of Remembrance, a solemn tribute to Australia&rsquo;s service men and women. Take in the beautiful views of the city skyline from the top of this historic monument.

&nbsp;

Travel through Melbourne&rsquo;s famed Sports Precinct, home to legendary venues like Melbourne Park and Rod Laver Arena. A brief stop at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) Forecourt allows you time to admire this iconic stadium, renowned for hosting world-class sporting events, such as the Olympics, AFL (Australian Football League), and cricket matches.

&nbsp;

Afterwards, the tour takes you past the Old Treasury Building and Parliament House where you can view the lively streets of Chinatown, visit the awe-inspiring St Patrick&rsquo;s Cathedral, where you can take in the stunning Gothic architecture, and&nbsp;Fitzroy Gardens to see Captain Cooks&rsquo; Cottage and Conservatory, where beautifully landscaped grounds create a peaceful retreat.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

The final part of the tour brings you to the Old Melbourne Precinct, with its fascinating blend of historic sites and modern life. Following a stop at Old Melbourne Gaol, the scene of 133 hangings including Australia&#39;s most infamous citizen, the bushranger Ned Kelly, we drive past Melbourne&rsquo;s &ldquo;Little Italy&rdquo; Lygon Street, the Royal Exhibition Building, and Queen Victoria Market. You&rsquo;ll get a glance of the vibrant culture that makes Melbourne so special.

&nbsp;

After experiencing the hustle and bustle of Melbourne we will head down to Phillip Island to immerse ourselves in nature. Enjoy a stroll along the coastal boardwalks at The Nobbies, keeping an eye out for the resident Fur Seals!

&nbsp;

At sunset witness the magical Penguin Parade and watch as adorable little penguins emerge from the sea and waddle their way to their nests.
