Had a great day exploring the Bellarine peninsula with my lovely wife. We were looked after by the crew at Explore Australia Tours and couldn’t speak highly enough of the friendly and personable staff. Brooke looked after us and made us feel like we were at home. Very grateful for the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to our friends or grandkids.

Loved the tour. We also had a free upgrade of our tour which was Bellarine Peninsula + Mornington Peninsula wine trail tour. But to be honest, I think our tour guide, Brooke was the HIGHLIGHT of the whole trip. Really recommend having her as the guide. She made the trip extra fun. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️

The day started with a commentary from the driver Matt. He was very clear, informative, & kept to the timetable all day. All the places we visited gave an insite to that part of the country, especially the orchard & the lunch on the cruise. So glad I booked that tour! Although the weather was iffy, we still managed to see everything planned. I enjoyed the day.

This was a fantastic tour from the get go , taking in the sights from the Geelong waterfront, checking out the local wildlife and beautiful Indigenous art at the Narana Aboriginal Culture Center , and then heading out the londsdale ligthouse point to soak in the endless blue of the Port Phillip bay. I loved the ferry ride to andfrom Queenscliff just taking in the views of the large endless blues of the ocean . Later on , the visit to the local Blueberry farm and the wine tasting was an excellent way to complete the trip . Matt is an excellent tour guide and took us around to all these places . This is a well packaged tour with such a variety of things to experience and having Matt to take us around and made it so convenient and enjoyable . A must recommend trip!

I booked this tour a couple of weeks before our trip to Melbourne. It seemed like a great variety. That's exactly what we experienced and more! Matt, our guide, was informative and super fun. He did all the legwork, taking us to visit all the sites from farm to wildlife and then from lunch on a boat ride to wine tasting. It was a full day of getting to experience things we couldn't have on our own. It would've taken us forever to research it, at least! Some sites were special boutique places, which were a real treat. We were lucky to have gotten in as we were the only ones to sign up for that particular day. Instead of cancelling, which other tour companies might have done, Matt cheerfully came out and have us a private full day's tour. We're so grateful for the memorable experience. We highly recommend Matt and Viator!
