Reviews
We have booked with A Petite Tour for 5 days around Melbourne and our tour guide was Tanni. She is very knowledgeable and extremely accommodating to our needs and changes. Their prices are definitely more reasonable as compared to others!

We are a group of 5 with 4 adults and 1 toddler. We booked private tours for 3 days in Melbourne covering Great Ocean Road, Philip Island and Yarra Valley. The reason I picked A Petite Tour is that Zi Ying and Bryce have been very responsive, helpful in providing advice, willing to tailor tours to our needs. We communicated through emails and they did not miss anything. Our driver and tour guide Mr Lim is very punctual who has never be late, he bought us coconut water and watermelon when he saw i had sore throat, how considerate! The car is a 8 seater with sufficient room for 5 pax, car seat is provided for our toddler. Highly recommended!

We (10 people) appreciated a lot of A Petite Tour's services for our Sep 2024 two-day trip to the great ocean road + brighton beach bathing boxes, puffing billy and Philip island penguin parade. All the way we are at ease with our guide’s safe driving, detailed explanation and time management. We are all surprised that our guide helped us find 4 wild koalas, a bonus to our trip! She also introduced us to good restaurants on our way. If you are looking for Cantonese speaking guide/driver for day tour in Melbourne, we have no hesitation to recommend A Petite Tour.

If you would like a comfortable private in Australia, you must have A Petite Tour, they provide many choices and they have professional and kind guides. For myself, it is family trip in Melbourne, we had Sam, Jessie, and Terrance, all of them are really nice and humorous when we are on the trip. Appreciate Bryce who had helped us with a fantastic trip, and we will ask for his favor again next time. Do not hesitate, just contact A Petite Tour and you will totally enjoy it!

We had a family trip to the Great Ocean Road today, with our tour guide/ driver, Sam. It was a fantastic experience for us. There were nine people in our group, aging from 9 to 75, and all of us had a good time with him during the trip. We visited not only some iconic sites but also some less-known ones along the way, enjoying the beauty of the great ocean road. Sam’s driving skill is good, and he is a very considerate, professional, sociable, easy-going person. I did enjoy the conversations we had during the tour. Nice service and a marvelous experience.
