SPORTING ICONS AND SO MUCH MORE!!
Private Tour – 8:30am – 4:30pm

We had a private tour with Kel and Melissa and it was just like a day with good friends. They are proud of their city and it shows. They created an itinerary that included everything we asked for and more. It was a jam-packed day that included stops at the Brighton bathing boxes, a drive past various sporting venues, a visit to the main highlights of the city and a lunch stop at The Stables. We were treated to commentary on the history of the city and enjoyed every minute of the day. There could not have been a better way to experience Melbourne, and we recommend Kel and Melissa to anyone who wishes to have the best tour ever..

3 HOURS OF FUN, FACTS AND FOOD
Sporting Icons and the Bayside Tour

Thank you for packing into 3 hours so much insight and fun for the 6 of us. The sports venues, suburbs and bathing boxes would have held much less significance had we done the sightseeing on our own. It would have taken us way more time and effort to take in all these sights on our own too. As foodies, we enjoyed the oysters and crayfish at the South Melbourne Market you brought us to! I'd definitely recommend your tour for anyone who's been to the city and wants to see and taste more. Above all, we appreciate your warmth and friendliness.

THIRD TIME LUCKY!!!
Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous Tour

Third time lucky! We initially booked this tour in 2020. Then COVID struck. Kel and Melissa were amazing with refunds and rescheduling. Again in 2021, lockdown changed our plans. 2022 was our year! We did the tour yesterday - hooray. What a delightful afternoon we had in their company. Melbourne’s history and a tour of prestigious schools and homes followed by a coffee break and shopping stop completed the afternoon. Thank you for your insightful commentary and company on a cold Melbourne afternoon. We would recommend Kel and Mel and Melbourne Encountour to anyone visiting Melbourne.

5 STAR TOUR
Lifestyle of the Rich & Famous Tour

Great afternoon out
We originally scheduled it for the 10th but one of our party members took unwell and Kel went out of his way to help rearrange our tour for the 13th, once our group were fully fit. Kel and Mel were great hosts, sharing a lot of information and making us feel very welcome. By the end of the tour, I felt I'd seen a lot, had a great afternoon out and had made two new friends. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne.

RICH & FAMOUS
Lifestyle of the Rich & Famous Tour

My partner and I went on the 'tour of the rich and famous' - with a description like that we did not know what to expect. We have both been Melbourne residents all of our lives but we discovered and learnt about areas of our home city that we had not know about beforehand.

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE
Sporting Icons & The Bayside Tour

Kel and Melissa drew up a tour of Melbourne and the surrounds based on their great knowledge, love of their city and one phone conversation with Tony. They picked us up from our hotel in a beautiful, clean and comfortable bus. After 5 minutes with them we felt like we had known them for years.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Cultural Melbourne Tour

“We had 2 days in Melbourne and were thrilled to see Melbourne outside of the CBD. Had no idea there was so much we could see in 3 hours. The weather was cold, but didn't affect the tour one bit. Next time we visit Melbourne, we’ll book again on another of your tours. Highly recommend Melbourne Encountour”.

BEST AFTERNOON
Lifestyle of the Rich & Famous Tour

"A great three hours spent with Kel driving through some of Melbourne's eastern suburbs showing you a real insight into wealthy areas of Melbourne. Started with a drive through the city in a 12 seater mini bus. We walked along the Yarra River and saw mansions with private boat jetties, along the way we were shown houses where various well known Australians live, and we even looked through a new, very palatial home.

WOW
Lifestyle of the Rich & Famous Tour

"Wow!!! if you really want a relaxing educational tour experience this is the way to go! Being a Melbourne resident I had no clue about the history of the Eastern suburbs. You really get to see where the rich and famous live and get a taste of their 'story'. When you learn about these things there's definitely more of an appreciation and respect that surfaces.

FANTASTIC DAY OUT

I was lucky enough to be invited on this Melbourne Encountour tour by Scottish friends. Kel and Melissa organised a specialised day trip to the Mornington Peninsula and each place we visited had spectacular views over our magnificent bay. The commentary was exceptional and the bus was clean. Terrific day enjoyed by all.

As we had a great time last year on our tour with Kel & Melissa, we booked another tour this year when we visited Melbourne.

We had a great time on the tour with Kel and Melissa who are both very welcoming. Kel is very knowledgeable and provided good commentary about the various sights on the tour. It was great to be able to sit back and see areas of Melbourne that we would not normally visit. Thank you Kel and Melissa for a great afternoon even though the weather was lousy.
