A must do tour !
Diana_O, 09-01-2023
My sister and I had a wonderful educative tour.

A must do your while in Melbourne.
Fascinating Melbourne lifestyles tour
Barbara_L, 07-09-2022
We enjoyed our tour very much with a lovely ride through east Melbourne's finest neighborhoods. We saw elite schools and beautiful homes and heard histories of the rich and famous. It was a wonderful tour including time to have tea and discuss what were experiencing. We learned a lot about historical Melbourne as well as the current lifestyles scene including a tour of a model home and a refreshing guided walk along the Yarra River. Due to the Covid pandemic we waited almost three years to take this tour and we were warmly welcomed and enjoyed all of it.
Third time lucky!!!

Third time lucky! We initially booked this tour in 2020. Then COVID struck. Kel and Melissa were amazing with refunds and rescheduling. Again in 2021, lockdown changed our plans. 2022 was our year! We did the tour yesterday - hooray.

What a delightful afternoon we had in their company. Melbourne’s history and a tour of prestigious schools and homes followed by a coffee break and shopping stop completed the afternoon.

Thank you for your insightful commentary and company on a cold Melbourne afternoon. We would recommend Kel and Mel and Melbourne Encountours to anyone visiting Melbourne.
You get your moneys worth and then some!

The couple who ran the tour were excellent. You know they take pride in waft they do because you can see they do their best to make the tour personalised and you feel comfortable during your tour. Mel and Kel were amazing hosts.

The tour was just packed with facts, amazing houses and really good insight into Melbourne citizen’s history. This tour is very underrated. Give them a go and I promise you won’t be disappointed!
Best Hosts - Spectacular Tour

Melissa and Kel are welcoming and very knowledgeable about Melbourne. They too a cou t of our interests and tailored the tour to provide us with an incredible experience. As Americans, we did not ways recognize the names of the rich and famous, but Melissa and Kel graciously and patiently explained them to us. More importantly as we left the tour we felt that we had made new friends and look forward to staying in touch.
