It feels like Melbourne has more food establishments than anywhere in the world so we think the best way to show you this is by taking you on an exclusive food and drink tour!

From there the tunes are turned up as our road trip continues before we head into sunset to witness the smallest PENGUINS in the world emerge from the ocean and waddle across the beach.

    A truly wonderful week,the welcome to travel group are fantastic and Clouds is a Don.If you're slightly nervous about solo traveling I would 100% recommend the package. They set up everything you need stress free and take you out on the most amazing trips. As you're grouped with other travelers you make new friends fast. I personally think I have made friends for life and have memories that will stay with me forever. Thank you Clouds and thank you welcome to travel!

    Thank you Welcome to Travel for the best week of my life when there is such uncertainty in the world with coronavirus. I genuinely loved every activity we did and now I have got 10 new friends who are running away to Cairns with me. Thank you to Billy for being the best (& most sarcastic) tour guide, you made my whole week and provided the bants. You are the hidden gem of this company and the best tour guide. If anyone is considering doing this tour, just book it, you won’t regret it. It was the best decision I’ve ever made, and the perfect start to my trip to Australia. It’s not only fun, but you get all the help you need to start a life in Australia. The week is jam packed with activities from surfing, to feeding Kangaroos and gelato tasting. Honestly the most incredible tour. Thank you again for the most memorable week. Xx

    For anyone heading to Australia this tour is a great way to settle into city life and find your feet in Melbourne. Every day was packed with a different activity and each activity helped the group bond with each other. The surfing and penguin parade were definitely my top highlights. We’ve all become very good friends because of this tour. The guides and help from welcome to travel was amazing, if there was ever a problem or concern, they did everything they could to help us. I especially want to say a massive thank you to Billy who was our guide (don’t be afraid of the beard, he’s softy at heart) and made us feel like Melbourne was a home away from home! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone thinking of traveling Australia, trust me you’ll have an amazing time!!

    I came to australia just as the coronavirus began taking over the world, and landed in Australia 6 hours before the self isolation rule kicked in, so only JUST made it onto this tour, and my god how lucky am I. I can honestly say this week was the best experience of my life, I met the most amazing people who I know are going to be family for life, and had the best tour guide ever in Billy, who became a friend to us all and kept our spirits up all week. The help and advice we all received from Darryl and Billy was amazing as we didn't know what to do because of the virus, and because of them we all managed to stay calm in the face of a very unknown and potentially scary situation. This trip was the best experience and the most amazing value for money, the outings, the food (dumplings and donuts omg) and the company was phenomenal. I cannot recommend this enough, thank you so much Welcome to Travel for absolutely everything.

    Today is the last day of the Welcome to Travel Tour, and I can honestly say it has been one of the best weeks of my life. Seriously, if you're ever planning on coming to Australia (whether it be for a year on a WHV or just for a couple of weeks to travel around) I'd highly recommend you doing this tour. You get your money's worth a 100% with all the activities and so much of the food and drinks included, and that's not even counting the incredible friendships and priceless memories that you'll make. You can really tell that the people behind WTT care so much about you having the best possible experience in Australia, and their knowledge of the travel industry is unparalleled. Our group had the last tour before they have to shut down because of the covid19-virus, but I'm so grateful that we still got to do most of the activities and that the team handled all the last-minute changes so well. Thank you so much to the Welcome to Travel team for organising this incredible tour, thank you Billy for being the literal best tour guide you could ever possibly imagine (he's such a gem), and thank you to everyone in my group for being such a lovely bunch of people who I never want to part with. It's been the actual best. ❤

    What an amazing tour. I was only able to experience part of it due to unforeseen circumstances but the time I spent with welcome to travel was incredible. I met the most amazing people and could not recommend this enough. Our tour guide (Billy) was so informative and helped us with everything and made the tour so special. I will definitely be coming back to experience the full thing!

    Anyone going to Australia either working holiday or just travel I cannot recommend enough booking your 8 day Melbourne arrival with Welcome to Travel! The best possible way to see the best spots in the city, visit the most beautiful areas in Victoria such as Philip Island and Mornington Peninsula, and most importantly meet new people and future travel buddies. Claudia as a local Melbournian was the most amazing and knowledgeable travel guide, and the whole welcome to travel team supported us with anything travel and working related. Once you finish the 8 days they’re there to help you during your whole stay. Please if you’re thinking of visiting Australia but feel hesitated or overwhelmed please book your trip with these guys and you won’t be dissapointed!
