We had the most amazing experience in Melbourne with Peter. He was very easy to communicate with and showed us so many fascinating aspects of the city and surrounding area. He easily customized our visit upon meeting him to include the wildlife sanctuary, a local winery and an in depth and personal tour of the beautiful city of Melbourne. Peter has a great personality and made the day so much fun. He also introduced us to "Aussie pie" which we all enjoyed. We would highly recommend a tour with Peter!

We recently were in Australia and took a tour with Peter Johns. What a wonderful guide. Peter picked us up from the port and took us all over Melbourne. We really enjoyed the Sanctuary and beautiful country. Peter also took us to a bakery for a meat pie and yummy baked goods. We also did a short city tour as well. Peter is very knowledgeable and fun to tour with. We highly recommend him !!! Thanks again Peter for a wonderful day!

Peter was a great host for our day trip to Healesville and the Yarra Valley. He accommodated the items I wanted to add to the itinerary, while really rounded out the day. We learned about the various animals unique to Australia at Healesville, then had a wonderful traditional Australian lunch of pies at local bakery. We finished out the day visiting three unique wineries that gave us a perfect tasting experience. All around, a great day within 1 hour of Melbourne CBD!

Our guide Peter catered cheerfully and efficiently to our wish to maximize time in Yarra area plus a quick drive-through of the city... we preferred to skip visiting a winery and have a quick lunch at a local cafe. Thank you, Peter, for a great tour.
