We spent a great day with Jenny. The sights were great. The stops were bang on. The photo ops bang on. Jenny's commentory and delivery was great. We loved it Peter and Marg from Qld.

Ascend to new heights as you are taken for a mesmerising guided walk (easy) atop Arthurs Seat, providing sweeping views of the picturesque peninsula and Port Phillip Bay. We provide the option for you should you wish to catch the Eagle Gondola to the top, offering a truly magical experience.
Step into history at Point Nepean National Park, starting with a guided walk through the fascinating Quarantine Station, where stories of early arrivals and medical history come to life. After the guided portion, guests have the freedom to explore the park further—hop on the shuttle bus out to Fort Nepean and its dramatic coastal lookouts, hire a bike, or enjoy a scenic walk through this stunning and significant landscape.

Jenny is an amazing local guide! Lots of great info and good plans. And it feels comfortable staying with her. I feel my payment is really worth it. And other tourists are amazing too! The number of the tourists is really good. A small group is enough and it’s enjoyable.
We were by ourselves for this tour so integrated with winery and springs tour group. Ray worked the two tours in perfectly and we felt very special, just us and our amazing tour guide. Had a really great day and Melbourne turned on beautiful weather. Thanks so much. Sheila & David from Perth.
It was a great day great scenery and wonderful places to see on our stops, nice group of people on the bus
We spent a fantastic day with our guide Nathan. The cruise was very well organised. The scene was great and unique.
My two sisters and I had a fabulous day with our tour guide and driver Perry. He was very friendly, informative, entertaining and he took great care of us all. Our favourite part of the trip was to Point Nepean National Park, with it's spectacular views and the history of Australia’s early defenses. Arthur's Seat was also a highlight, we chose to ascend by the Eagle Gondola which gave us brilliant views over Port Philip Bay. Thank you Perry and Local Way's Tours for a most enjoyable day out! We would definitely recommend this tour.
Jenny provided us a brilliant tour guide. It’s been too much foggy when we arrived Arthur’s Seat. She suggested us to visit the vine yard, and turned out that she’s totally right. Her patience and passion gave us a comfortable experience through the journey.
Jenny had paced the trip with excellence, keeping us engaged and sharing great local details. She drove safely with the right manners/protocols. Thanks for her enthusiasm!
Jenny was an amazing guide who showed us great spots! She was super hospitable and a pleasant host 🙂
I had a wonderful experience on the Mornington Peninsula coastal hiking tour, and it turned out to be one of the most underrated highlights of my trip. The views along the coast were absolutely stunning, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore beyond the usual attractions. The hike itself is very beginner-friendly. I don’t exercise much in my daily life, but I was still able to complete all the walks comfortably. The pacing was well planned, with sufficient time given at each stop to explore and enjoy the scenery without feeling rushed. For those who may feel tired, there are always rest options available along the way, so you can sit out certain parts if needed. That said, everyone in my group managed to complete the full hike. The tour started on a great note with complimentary coffee before departure, which was a really thoughtful touch. Throughout the journey, the great music playlist also made the bus rides between stops even more enjoyable and relaxing. A big part of the positive experience was our guide and driver, Nat. He was punctual, energetic, and cheerful throughout the day, which kept the group engaged. He was also very knowledgeable, sharing interesting information and helpful tips at each location. I appreciated how he ensured we had enough time to rest on the bus between stops, making the overall pace very comfortable. The small group size made the experience more personal and attentive, and it was nice that Nat even joined us for some of the hikes. Overall, everything was well-organised, enjoyable, and thoughtfully planned. Definitely a tour worth considering if you’re visiting the area!
A wonderful eight hour trip from Melbourne with our excellent well informed guide and driver Theresa. Great communication with Local Tours and a well thought out itinerary including enough free time to explore places at your own pace. For me the Quarantine Station and Point Nepean National Park was of special interest . I can highly recommend both this trip and Local Tours.
What an amazing day . Thank you very much Sue making it more enjoyable ☺️🙏 Highly recommend this tour
Love the tour. We get to see the scenic road all the way to Mornington Peninsula. No rush yet very disciplined and punctual. We visited several spots and given enough time to explore on our own and take pictures. Mike and Rod are very great. Rod even gives us extra tour to Sorrento beach and shuttle bus round trip to the Gunnery. The tourguides explain and tell stories about the culture, history, and the beauty of Australia.
Jenny is was amazing. She is very sweet and accommodating. Bring your thongs/slippers . She took us to places only locals know. Bus was nice and clean.
A lovely day with a super friendly guide, Jenny ! We saw beautiful lookouts and beaches. A good start to discover the Peninsula.
Shelton was our guide and i have to give it to him for his superb knowledge about Australia! We picked up interesting facts from him which made the tour much more interactive. In addition, Shelton is a dedicated guide who will walk us to the various lookout points for the best views of the port Philip bay and the bass strait, instead of dropping us off and leaving us to explore on our own. This is something which we appreciated as a tourist who is not familiar with the surroundings!
Great small group tour with extremely knowledgeable and engaging tour guide, Mike. Learned a LOT about the history of the area, while enjoying some spectacular views along the coast, and short strolls to the key sites. There are many tours available through these operators and I wouldn’t hesitate to book another next time I’m down this way. I would recommend you call and talk with the team before choosing which tour, they will make sure you pick one that suits you!
The weather is very good, the tour guide is friendly and interesting, has a rich knowledge and very professional, it is recommended to participate
The experience is great! But you do it alone. No guide actually accompanying you, he drives and drops you off at the main places. It is a good alternative to enjoy solo: walks, magnificent views, I recommend.
