Ellen:  we are in Melbourne, and think you are booking some people to Australia- once again, as your (sub) travel planner - want to recommend a marvelous and well experienced guide for Melbourne: david@melbournehostedtours.com.au - he was a real treat.  Don and I really enjoyed his company - he's extremely charming and knowledgeable.

Thank you so much for looking after Toshiba on Friday - they had a wonderful time.  I spoke with Steve and he and James were very pleased with the tour - the vineyards and your personal service.  He said you were an absolute gentleman. So well done and I will certainly be in contact for any other tours I get asked about and look forward to working with you again soon.

It's such a pleasant experience touring the many beautiful places in and out Melbourne with David.  David is such a professional and knowledgeable tour guide that you'll learn so many things from the trips.  You'll feel like a queen or king travelling with him, coz he'll take care of you well.  He does an amazing job driving you around and responding to your questions quickly - very impressive!! I enjoyed my trip so much.  Thank you, David.

David - I still can't forget your charming smile greeting us on our first day for our trip to the Great Ocean Road.  David, you are one of the best tour guides I have met.  You are always ready with stories and information on the places we have visited.  You have always something to share with us and have taken very good care of us during the two day trip! We felt as if we are close friends.  Thanks a million for giving us such a memorable trip!  P/s.  Good suggestion to stay at Colac!  Nice motel and breakfast to feed a KING!  Good views too on the way to Ballarat.

David thank you so much for the tour.  We learned a lot about wine history and the culture.  We appreciated every single moment we spent with you.  The great vineyards along the roads, and the cheese and wine-tasting was very imnpressive.  We all thank you once again and will surely take another visit soon.
Sincere thanks.

David, what a wonderful way to spend Christmas Eve - touring the Yarra Valley with you.  Being from California's wine area - Sonoma Country - we really appreciated how you educated us about the Yarra wine area.  We look forward to seeing you in another year when we shall return to do the Great Ocean Road.  We will recommend you to all our friends and our cruise company.

David, your easy-going yet entirely professional manner was a perfect combination for us.  Coming from the States, we thoroughly enjoyed your selections of vineyards to visit.  Sampling the local cheese farm was a special treat.  You've convinced us to come back and visit Melbourne soon. 
All the best.

The Great Ocean Road drive was a real great life drive and experience for all of us, and we immensely enjoyed the smooth drive, as well as your spontaneous and easy-going approach.  Your comments, just the right amount and length, as well as timing were, apart from being accurate, truthful and informative, and also vehemently presented by your passion for this wonderful continent - thank you.

David, for the past two and a half days, you have given us so much to remember! Your professionalism, knowledge and kindness was so fulfilling.  We learnt so much about Victoria from your constant talks which was much beyond our expectations. Keep up the good work David, and may you continuously render such wonderful service. God bless you.

Thank you so much, David, for the great, personalized tour of the Great Ocean Road.  It was a pleasure for us and we appreciate your kindness.  The real Australian highlight for us was the "Sow & Piglets"/"Apostles" you took us to - WOW!

Thank you so much for touring for us and we did enjoy the trip very much.  Thanks again and it was my pleasure to travel with you.  Thank you.

David, we're so glad to have had you as our tour guide.  One simple click on the internet to Google and by chance, we had you! how amazing this experience has been! Your enthusiasm and cheerfulness brightened up our days; your knowledgeable experiences taught my family much about Melbourne (which I thought was pretty boring! but after your great tours, I have learnt a lot! and Melbourne is actually quite interesting).  Like you said, we're learning everyday and from your tours, and company, we certainly learnt a lot; not just facts but also life as it is.  We made a new friend; not just knew a tour guide, and that is possibly the best memory my family had on this trip.  Thanks for the memories and I hope we left one in you too.
With much love
All the way from awesome and lovely Singapore

David, we spent a very enjoyable day with you visiting the Yarra Valley.  It's a beautiful area and the wines were excellent.  You are terrific company, have extensive knowledge and convey everything in a pleasant manner.  We would highly recommend you to anyone visiting Melbourne. Best,

A charming man in a pink shirt took a couple of California "chicks" on the roady today to discover and explore the enchanting country side of Melbourne.  His love for his island, his knowledge transported us through history making time and wonderful vistas - a place to return.  We thank him and his "family" for sharing it all - artfully.
