Melbourne is Australia's most gracious city, and well worth a few days to explore. Our exclusive stopover program will introduce you not only to the city's beautiful centre, but also the surrounding hills. Stay longer, explore more! The choice is yours.
Day 1: Arrive in Melbourne and settle into your hotel.
Day 2: A full day's touring into the stunning Dandenong Ranges that lie just to the northeast of Melbourne. You will marvel at the lush ferns and dense forests as you tour; the program will include a traditional Aussie morning tea, a ride on the Puffing Billy Steam Train, and lunch (additional cost) at Fergusson's Winery. Before heading back to the city you will stop at the Healesville Sanctuary, home to over 200 species of Australia's unique fauna.
Day 3: Melbourne is a gracious city of wide boulevards, parks and a wonderful blend of heritage and contemporary architecture, and this morning's tour will introduce you to the highlights. In addition to the bustling Queen Elizabeth market and the Southbank, you will visit the famous Melbourne cricket ground, and the Royal Botanical Gardens. The afternoon will be free to head back to your favourite sights, and this evening dinner on board the unique Colonial Tramcar restaurant.
