Planning Your Melbourne Visit
When to go?
The best time to visit Melbourne is during fall (March to May). Not only is the weather at its most tolerable, but the changing colors of the city's foliage lend an air of charm to its Victorian-era buildings. If you can, try to catch the annual Food and Wine Festival during the first half of March!
How many days?
If the purpose of your visit is simply to see Melbourne's sights then you will need at least 2 or 3 days. That said, Melbourne has a multitude of festivals happening year round so consider staying for a bit longer if any of them take your fancy!

What people are saying about Melbourne
This was the best guided tour I’ve ever had. John made my tour very interesting, entertaining and stimulating! The way he presented facts wanted me to know more, to the point that I felt inspired to follow up on certain facts that he told me about. John customised the trip according to what I was interested about. He took me to places that are quirky and unique, spots that you can’t find on lonely planet. Professional, knowledgeable and fun!
John was very knowledgeable. We live in the south eastern suburbs and have done all our lives but wanted to experience the history of our city. Recommend to locals and visitors alike. Tbe highlight was the finale drink at tbe oldest pub where your guide will reveal am interesting fact.
Unfortunately due to the Coronavirus the staff on board felt it might be one off the last they’d do for a while. That said the staff were excellent, the food great. If I get the chance to go back to Melbourne it’s one of the 1st things I’d do again.
Very enjoyable - long day though - got back around midnight. Highly recommend upgrading to at least the platform for viewing Penguins - saw many. Fed the Kangaroos and saw many native animals and the wild animal reserve.
Wine tour was a lot of fun and informative. Our guide, Giovana, was very knowledgeable and created a fun environment. We actually sang on the bus, may have been some wine influence as well.
