Best tour I have ever been on. Would recommend everyone goes on this, local or not, great value for money, amazing experiences and a great way for backpackers to get started Sarah Newlyn
1/13/2019 Had a fantastic first week in Melbourne thanks to these guys. It was quick and easy to get SIM card and bank set up on the first day. After that it was 7 days of laughs led by the awesome ball of energy Claudia. Perfect mix of time in the city/time at the beach plus a roadtrip blasting the tunes. I would 100% reccommend Welcome to Travel if you are considering heading out to Australia. Adam Nelson

I was in Melbourne and I was welcomed! Exactly what I wanted. I heard great things about their Great Ocean Road tour but I don't think it was running at the time. Can't recommend these guys enough. (Adam's the cute one, Darryl's the brains) #whocanchoose?

11/04/2018 Welcome To Travel is amazing. Provided a jam-packed week full of activities and laughter showcasing the best of Melbourne. Would definitely recommend it to anyone travelling to Melbourne on a Working Holiday Visa or as a tourist. Met so many amazing friends that I will most certainly keep in touch with! Set everything up for you so no worries when you arrive in Aus and provide great help for onward travel, accommodation and potential employers. Errin McElhinney

11/11/2018 All the crew at Welcome to travel are absolutely exceptional in every way. Completely made me feel so at ease from the moment of meeting any of them. Always available to answer any questions or help in a way possible. Claudia was fantastic went above and beyond to help me with everything as I arrived a few days early before the tour started, even helped me get around the city. The tour itself exceeded all my expectations, such a fun filled and packed week!! But the help and support given by the whole team is the most refreshing and settling feeling. I could not recommend welcome to travel enough!! Anyone who is thinking about it !! DO IT !! Nicole Smyth
10/21/2018 Was very sceptical at first after I booked this about what was in store for me but can definitely say it was one of the best weeks I’ve had with a mad bunch of people. Claudia, Adam and Darryl done more for us than I ever expected, all three of them made me feel so welcome and guided me through my first week in Melbourne and are continuing to support me through the rest of my travels in Australia. Met loads of new people from all over and made some really good friends, all in all a great experience that I’d highly recommend if you’re thinking of coming to aus and not sure what way to go about it. Shoutout to mumma Clauds for being a champ🤙🏼 Alex Carruthers
