 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wir hatten unglaublich fantastische drei Tage mit Paul, der uns alles gezeigt, viel erklärt und im Vorfeld die ganze Tour perfekt organisiert hat. Alles angepasst an unsere Wünsche und Vorstellungen. Als am letzten Tag auf dem Weg zum Flughafen spontan unser Flug verlegt wurde, baute er noch einen extra Programmpunkt ein, um unsere Wartezeit zu verkürzen. Uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had two great days with Paul from Melbourne Elite Tours. First was visiting Phillip Island and the Penguin Parade and the second was touring the Yarra Valley. Paul was easy to work with and we were able to tailor each tour to our specific timing and needs. As our driver/guide Paul was timely, professional and very personable. His passion for the work and knowledge of the area were first rate. I would highly recommend using Melbourne Elite Tours!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul and his team are definitely a cut above. We loved the attentive service and many thoughtful touches not to mention superb restaurant choices. Views weren't bad either. Can highly recommend the helicopter ride over the Apostles.
