Nicci was a great tour guide. She drove us around and provided interesting narrative along the way. Moonlit Wildlife Sanctuary was a fun place to see koalas, kangaroos and wallabies. Lunch and wine tasting at Merricks General Store was delightful. I would highly recommend this tour for cruise passengers.

Nikki was so informative. She knew Australia and made our trip enjoyable and informative. She was native to this land and one could tell.

Outstanding experience with Epicurean Travel! Bill is a phenomenal and entertaining tour guide who has accommodated us at the end of the tour. The Kangaroo sanctuary is a must visit place in Melbourne and we had a great lunch and wine tasting experience as well. Highly recommend this tour!
