2 Best Local Tours in Melbourne

The tour is Brighton beach + Moonlit sanctuary + beaches on Phillip Island + penguin parade

Pickup was on time, everything by the book.
Little box houses on Brighton beach are nice.
Moonlit sanctuary is great, the tour comes in for the great show with the animals, you can hand feed wallabies and kangaroos. If you are ready to eat your lunch on the bus, you can even meet the dingos up close and personal (I did it, had just enough time).
Another beach, IMHO as a beach better than Brighton.
Penguin parade is great, the tour guide gave great suggestions. The coming of penguins over the beach is somewhat dull, but them running along boardwalk is an experience.

Tour has a great concept and pace, good for all ages and fitness. Just don't expect to have an option of buying snacks and sodas as some places have none, and in others there are long queues. Moonlit is the only with a good balance.

Tour guide Yazmin was an energetic lady, with good DJ skills and open to conversation. Gives good tips what to do on various places during the tour.

Would take another tour with GoWest, and (unless you lack energy and or sense of humour) can definitely recommend Yazmin.

I would like to say thank you so much for the wonderful tour that my husband and I were a part of on Wednesday 21/11/2018 to the Yarra Valley. Our bus driver Scott was great very well mannered and had great knowledge of Melbourne's and Yarra Valley's history which gave me a greater understanding of how both Melbourne and the Yarra Valley were instrumental in shaping our wonderful city.
I would not change any part of the tour it was wonderful with the right amount of stops and not to mention all the great food and wine that we enjoyed along the way and meet some wonderful people from all parts of the world.

Thoroughly enjoyable day out with Go West Tours. Jordan and Beth really looked after us and made the day. We visited three wineries, a farm shop and a cheese maker and a chocolatier. At the second winery we had a meal. Jordan recommended the blade of beef and it didn’t disappoint. It was delicious! I would definitely recommend this tour to any wine lover. Great way to see the Yarra Valley also!

We booked a Go West Tour that included Brighton Beach, Moonlit Sanctuary and Phillip Island from Melbourne. The tour guide Ricky was very entertaining and did a great job pointing out interesting things and keeping us on time. We booked the 'Ranger Guided Tour' at the Penguin Parade, which was definitely worth the extra cost. This is once in a lifetime "bucket list" activity, so do it right!

Jordan from Go West was our guide and driver for the day trip out to Phillip Island for the Penguin Parade. He was very attentive to detail and ensured that everyone had an amazing time. The penguin parade is definitely a must if you’re in Melbourne! Thanks Jordan for the great time and yes, I’m a convert to team Wombat! :)

We went for a Yarra Valley Gourmet Tour on 18th December 2018. Our guide Scott was fantastic, humorous and knowledgeable. Our favourite part of the day tour was the lunch at Rochford Wineries :-)

Definitely a must-go if you're in Melbourne and while you're at it, ask for Scott!!!
