WELCOME TO TRAVEL: MELBOURNE

Did the 8 day tour with Welcome to Travel and it was AWESOME! Not only do you get to see wildlife up close, go surfing, wine tasting and exploring the city, you also feel so welcome and at ease with the guides. Legends all, they make sure everyone feels included and really take the time to get to know you. After the week you will know Australia and Melbourne better and you'll also have a better sense of how you're going to tackle the next phases of your trip. This is not just a tour, you join the Welcome to Travel family. ^^

Thaaank you for kickstarting my week in the best way possible. So helpful and so much fun.

Great tour! You will go to places you wouldn't have if you had done it yourself. You will do/see so many things but still don't feel like you are rushing through it. Last but not least great tour leaders. They tell you a lot about Australia and they sincerely want to help you with all your plans. So just relax and enjoy your trip!

Fantastic week, would highly recommend, can't thank them enough!

Welcome to Travel is the best way to start your week in Australia if you are a solo traveller or even as a group. They have the best tour guides with excellent knowledge of the city and generally lovely people. There are great activities organised and will meet great people along the way. They are very helpful and set you up with onward travel or if looking for work. I would highly recommend Welcome to Travel as you are guaranteed to have the best first week in Australia with the best tour guides/people. Thankyou Darryl, Clouds and Adam 🙂 x

This trip was by far the best experience I've ever done and i would highly recommend it to anyone wanting come over and experience the city and surrounding areas. The guide was amazing and full of energy and information. 10/10!!!! Thanks guys

Ich war ziemlich unsicher und aengstlich im Bezug auf meine Australien- bzw. Work and Travel-Reise. Ich hatte keinen wirklichen Anfangspunkt und wusste auch generell nicht, wie ich das ganze angehen sollte. Eine Freundin empfahl mir dann welcome to travel, und ich war skeptisch: brauche ich wirklich die ganzen Ausflüge, die Tourguides, brauche ich wirklich jemanden der mir das alles vor die Füße legt und vor allen Dingen: ist es das Geld wert? Ganz kurzfristig habe ich mich dann entschieden, teilzunehmen, und ich kann wirklich sagen dass das die beste Entscheidung war, die ich seit langem getroffen habe! Darryl und Adam sind einfach wundervoll, sie haben mir all meine Sorgen genommen, die ich Anfangs hatte. Sie haben mal in der gleichen Haut gesteckt wie wir und wissen ganz genau was wir brauchen und wollen und noch dazu bekommt man wertvolle Insider-Tipps. Die Ausflüge waren genial, fuer jeden was dabei, und nichts kam mir überflüssig vor. Und das aller beste: sie sind die ganze Reise fuer einen da. Ich weiss, dass ich nie alleine bin und die besten Tipps und ein offenes Ohr immer auf mich warten. Ich habe bei so etwas wie welcome to travel vorher noch nie teilgenommen, aber ich bin mir sicher dass man sowas wie hier nicht nochmal findet, und ich bin unglaublich traurig, dass die Woche so schnell rumging. Also, egal warum ihr zweifelt: macht mit! Ihr werdet es zu 10000% nicht bereuen. Cheers to you, Darryl and Adam!

I was hesitant to book a tour but I can honestly say i am so glad i booked this one! Welcome to travel went above and beyond my expectations and the fact they won best tour in Victoria while I was doing it didn't surprise me one bit! The amount of stuff it included was unreal and if anything works our cheaper than organising everything yourself! Not only were the organisers just the best, the people you meet on the tour really do become family. Would do it all again! Book it now! x

Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone heading out to Melbourne for a long period of time. It gives you a brilliant first week away ticking off the bucket list, meeting great people and setting you up to work and live in the city. The activities and experiences you do are so unique and varied that it gives you a great idea about what you’re going to enjoy whilst you’re travelling. Darryl and Adam who run the tours are brilliant and so helpful in answering questions, giving recommendations of stuff to do in the city and getting you set up in Melbourne. You also get to meet some incredible people - go for it!

Had a really good time this week. Anyone who is thinking about backpacking oz, definitely start here! Seen many cool places, with a great group of people and a great tour guide. Also the travel/job help was really useful. Could’t think of a better way to have started my travels around Australia. Thanks Clauds, Darryl and Adam!

Quite possibly the most funny and helpful week I’ve ever had. From start to finish, everyone in the group was just wonderful and the mentors (Claudia, Darryl and Adam) were the breath of fresh air I’ve needed for a long time. I’ve made so many memories with this bunch that I’ll cherish forever. They go above and beyond to help you with your next step as well, whether that be future job prospects or imminent travel which is so beneficial if you’re out here on a Working Holiday Visa or something similar. Words can’t describe how awesome this week was. I can’t thank you guys enough. I love you forever Travel Fam ❤️

I’d 100% recommend this tour to anybody, especially those starting their working holiday visa! Had the most incredible week starting to tick off my bucket list, and experienced loads of places and activities we would never have found by ourselves. Darryl was the best tour guide we could’ve asked for and we also had an amazing group who became like a family away from home. Starting our trip here also meant that all the stress of setting up for work and onward travels was completely taken away, and just allowed us to get excited!! It’s also really reassuring to know that Darryl and Adam are just a phone call away if we need them at any point on our travels around Australia. Such an awesome tour run by awesome people! 💙

Just had such an amazing week! Initially I was apprehensive about the tour but that changed when the tour started. They were amazingly helpful from the beginning, sorting everything out for us, phones, bank and what we are going to do next. Help with employment and most importantly planning a tour of Australia. The wealth of knowledge they have about Australia is fascinating. Highly recommended.

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 !!

This was such an awesome week! It provides us with the necessary tools to thrive here in Australia and allowed us to meet some rad people from all over the world! They went above and beyond to make sure we had a fun filled week and helped us get to know more about this beautiful place we are fortunate enough to call our new home. Not only did they get us set up in this week alone, they also helped us plan a few months of travel to some amazing spots and getting good deals on the package. Overall these three are awesome humans and what they are doing with this company is truly refreshing and I am glad I was able to experience it! If you are planning on traveling to Melbourne this is a great company to get involved with and help get you set up for this next chapter of your life!
