Melbourne Mini Pack

Yes you do! If you’re coming here just as a tourist to visit Australia, you’ll need a Visitor Visa. 

If you’re coming here to work while you’re on holiday, you’ll need either a Working Holiday Visa (417) or a Work and Holiday Visa (462), depending on which country you’re from. 

You can find more information and a list of the various visas here.

We recommend organising this as soon as you know you’re coming to Australia. The application can be completed through your travel agent, or directly through the same Australian Government website as above. We always recommend checking the Australian Government website for any specific enquiries.

Absolutely! It doesn’t matter if you’re coming to this beautiful country to work, visit friends or family, study, sunbathe with the kangaroos or perfect your Australian accent. 

All of our travellers will still get the full lifetime membership to our wonderful little travel family, including any support you may need along the way.

Your guided portions of the Mini Pack can run pretty much every day of the week, so we take this opportunity to keep the numbers low for a more personal experience.

There can be up to 5 people in your walking tour group, or it could be just you and your guide exploring the city on your terms for the day.

If you were looking for a definite group atmosphere then we’d recommend one of our Welcome tours.

With your guide you get a full city walk complete with facts, great food tips and ideas for the rest of your time in Melbourne. You also have your personal one-on-one session with your guide for work and travel advice

You can fly in any day and we are able to collect you from the airport and then will arrange your 4 days for you from there. You will get an email laying out your plans.

Due to the nature of the 4 day package, sometimes the Explore day may come before your city walk or you can request a ‘relax’ day the day after you land if you’d like. Once you’ve booked we will send over your personalised itinerary, which takes into consideration our varied work week and what the best layout would be for you.

Our tours cater for people aged 18-39 years old. The average age varies each week and that’s what we love about it.

Yes! Our driver will pick you up from the airport and take you straight to your hostel!

The $99 deposit is required to secure your booking. But don’t worry! Full payment is only required 21 days before your departure date, which gives you time to save money for it! 

However, if you make a booking within 21 days of your departure date, you will need to pay the full amount at the time of booking.

Yes! If you pay your deposit and later realise you have to change your date, don’t panic.

*Normally 28 days but currently 14 due to COVID19. Please see our terms and conditions here

Once you know you’re coming to Australia and that you’d like the best possible welcome here, we’d recommend placing your $99 deposit right away, especially as we offer free date changes.

As part of your Welcome to Melbourne tour you will receive exclusive tips, resources and guidance towards finding a job and farm work in Australia.

We will present you with all of the basic information needed to get started, and give you access to our huge database of employers and contacts in sectors such as hospitality, retail, construction, sales and marketing and many more.

We also send out a weekly update email that highlights the most recent job and farm work opportunities we come across.

That’s up to you! Everyone has different plans for their time in Australia. You might even find that your plans may change halfway during the tour after meeting some new friends.

Either way, the Welcome To Travel team is here to support you before, during and after the Mini Pack.

Whether it’s work or travel you’re looking to organise or get advice on, we’ll be able to help you.

We will go through options that suit you specifically in your 1-on-1 session. We then have our Work and Travel Experience Team who will be there to help you throughout your whole time in Australia!
