This Melbourne private tour combines iconic landmarks, historic architecture, sporting venues, waterfront precincts and coastal scenery in one relaxed itinerary. With a flexible route and personalised service, it is an ideal introduction to Melbourne for first-time visitors, families, couples and small groups.

Federation Square and Flinders Street Station
Your Melbourne sightseeing tour begins in the heart of the city with two of its most famous landmarks. Federation Square showcases Melbourne’s modern cultural energy, while Flinders Street Station remains one of the city’s most recognised historic icons. Together, they reflect the unique character of Melbourne, where heritage and contemporary design sit side by side.

Melbourne Cricket Ground - MCG
Stop near the legendary Melbourne Cricket Ground, one of Australia’s most important sporting venues. Known as the home of cricket and Australian Rules football, the MCG also served as the main stadium for the 1956 Olympic Games. It is a must-see attraction on any Melbourne city tour and a great place for memorable photos.

Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens
Continue to the Royal Exhibition Building, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed landmark set within the beautiful Carlton Gardens. This grand 19th-century building is one of Melbourne’s architectural treasures and a highlight for travellers interested in history, culture and elegant city scenery.

Spring Street: Parliament House, Princess Theatre and Treasury Building
Travel along Spring Street, one of Melbourne’s most distinguished boulevards. See Parliament House, the historic Treasury Building and the famous Princess Theatre, all showcasing Melbourne’s rich political, cultural and architectural heritage. This part of the tour offers a glimpse into the city’s grand Victorian past.

Collins Street
Drive through Collins Street, one of Melbourne’s most stylish and prestigious city streets. The famous ‘Paris End’ is known for luxury boutiques, elegant façades, heritage buildings and a refined European atmosphere. It is one of the most attractive sections of Melbourne’s city centre.

Melbourne Chinatown
As we pass through Melbourne’s Chinatown, you’ll catch a glimpse of one of the city’s most historic and vibrant precincts. Lined with traditional archways, heritage buildings, and buzzing laneways, this area reflects Melbourne’s deep Chinese-Australian roots and its famous food culture. It’s a lively stretch of the city where old traditions meet modern Melbourne, all right in the heart of the CBD.

Docklands
Visit the modern Docklands precinct, where Melbourne’s contemporary waterfront lifestyle comes to life. Enjoy views of the harbour, modern architecture, public art and open promenades that show a different side of the city. Docklands adds a fresh urban contrast to Melbourne’s historic landmarks.

Shrine of Remembrance
Our next stop is at the steps of the Shrine of Remembrance. Here you will be able to take in panoramic views across the Royal Botanic Gardens and to the Melbourne skyline — ideal for reflecting on the day and snapping that last photo of the city.

Albert Park – Formula One Grand Prix
Pass through Albert Park, home of the Australian Formula One Grand Prix. This scenic lakeside area combines peaceful parkland with the excitement of one of Melbourne’s biggest international sporting events. It is a unique stop that adds both nature and motorsport history to your Melbourne half-day tour.

St Kilda Esplanade and Sea Baths
Continue towards the coast and explore the relaxed atmosphere of St Kilda Esplanade. With palm trees, sea views, cafés and a lively seaside character, St Kilda is one of Melbourne’s most popular beachside suburbs. The historic St Kilda Sea Baths add to the area’s classic coastal charm.

Excellent Experience with Bibly Tours - Private Tour, Great Ocean Road We were travelling as a family (of 4) from India, with Melbourne being one of the major stops on our Australia tour. We wanted a private Great Ocean Road experience rather than the usual coach tour. After exploring several operators, we came across Bilby Tours. The itinerary looked comprehensive, and after our first conversation with Max, we booked almost instantly! The experience was absolutely superb. Max is an incredible guide who introduced us to so much about Australia’s history, culture, geography and wildlife that we hadn’t discovered during our entire trip. We came away with much more than just beautiful photographs. The itinerary is exceptionally well planned, covering all the iconic spots, including the lighthouse, chocolate factory and Twelve Apostles. Seeing hundreds of wild kangaroos and spotting koalas was another highlight. The lunch at the much-celebrated Greek restaurant was the cherry on top! One experience you shouldn’t miss is the 30-minute forest walk through a forest millions of years old. Max’s insights make it even more fascinating. The tour is customisable, so definitely ask to include it. I would wholeheartedly recommend Bilby Tours and Max. Even if you know how to drive, I’d suggest experiencing the Great Ocean Road with him. You may cover the same distance on your own, but you’ll miss out on so much knowledge, insight and memorable experiences. Thank you, Max, for making this one of the highlights of our Australia trip!

Bilby Tours created a personalized Yarra Valley Winery Tour for our small group at a reasonable price. They were wonderful to deal with and the driver Richard made our day great. We went to the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie, two wineries (one for lunch) and a brewery. It was so well organized. Would use again in a heartbeat.

Great Experience Everything was great. Max (the owner) was ready waiting for us at the hotel at the agreed time. The vehicle was comfortable and safe. When we arrived at Lake Mountain it was snowing, so very fortunate. The snow experience was great, loved the toboggan and building a snowman. And stopped at a chocolate factory in the Yarra Valley on the return drive. Highly recommend for those wishing to experience the snow. though not for those wanting to ski unless you know there has been heavy snowfall. I have no problems with using Bilby Travel again in the future.

Think about Melbourne, think about Bilby Tour It was worth every penny. We traveled as a large group of 11, spanning several generations from 2 to 80 years old. Max was an understanding and fair guide; he was easy to talk to and very open-minded. He provided a wealth of information and remained professional yet friendly throughout the trip. ​A few highlights that really stood out: ​Proactive Service: He took care of all our luggage without us even having to ask. ​Great with Kids: He truly understands the needs of children, which made our family trip much smoother. ​Expert Planning: He had a clear understanding of the local weather patterns. When it started to rain, he proactively swapped our itinerary to ensure we saved the main highlights for a day with better weather, allowing us to fully enjoy the outdoor activities. ​We couldn't have asked for a better experience

Best ever tour We had the pleasure of being part of the Most wonderful private tour on Friday along the Great Ocean Road to the spectacular 12 Apostles. Our driver Richard was a SUPERSTAR! He was so entertaining and caring and he really made our whole trip a once in a lifetime experience - and he exceeded our expectations at every opportunity!!!! Every part of our tour was handled incredibly smoothly and professionally, right from the very beginning in all our contact with Max who communicated all the arrangements so well and so promptly. And our English cousin especially enjoyed her first ever sight of koalas and kangaroos so thank you Richard!! and thank you Max!!
