About Program

At Welcome to Travel; Experiences are what we do best! Our goal is to inspire you to travel, be curious, and experience new things through our tours. You will be joined by other like-minded travellers whilst becoming part of our community, the Welcome to Travel Family.

Your Aussie bucket list will be ticked off as you feed a kangaroo, grab a snap with a koala and even have a go at surfing. You'll also be treated all week as you go wine tasting, indulge in a food tour and get taken Melbourne's biggest bar crawl.

You'll also have the simple things sorted, including a personalised airport pickup, 7 nights accommodation and your Australian admin needs (bank account, tax file number and employment help) if required. We take the stress out of moving to a new country.

We’ll be here to help you with absolutely anything for the whole time that you’re in Australia, not just before your tour.

Top trip

Honestly the best two day introduction into Melbourne and the surrounding areas. We had a group of mainly girls and not only did I meet some really great friends but we got to see some amazing things, including penguin parade (AMAZING but wrap up super warm) surfing lessons, wine tasting and even got a cheeky chocolate factory stop. There were a couple of surprises thrown in along the way which I thought was a really nice touch. Adam and Darryl put in so much effort to make this trip amazing for everybody and it definitely paid off. They're not your standard tour guides, they really get involved and genuinely have fun with you. I could not recommend this tour company enough, you are guaranteed to have a good time and I am looking forward to booking on to the next event.

2 in 1 deal mornington and phillip Island

The trip was well planned out. Overall experience was great made a lot of new friends in a friendly atmosphere. Adam and Darryl know all the great places to visit and have managed to involve fun activities like surfing and visiting kangaroos!

Highly recommend to anyone wanting to explore Australia. Safe and reliable way of interacting with new people and finding out the best places to visit rather than researching alone.

Travel experts

Adam sorted our full trip for the east coast of Australia. He was friendly and knowledgeable and listened to what we wanted. We had an amazing time seeing everything we wanted and things we didn't even know about until Adam suggested. We also had our parents with us for some of the trip so he made sure the trips such as Fraser Island were suitable for them also. We couldn't of asked for more, we had the best time and made memories that will last forever.

Couldn't recommend more!

Adam and Darryl know absolutely everything Melbourne. They know the best eats, drinks and hidden trendy spots. Starting out as backpackers themselves, they have invaluable information about how to best enjoy Melbourne and Australia on a backpacker budget.

Not only will you be guaranteed a great time with these two, you'll be seeing the most beautiful and exciting locations Melbourne has to offer. These guys have tried and tested it all! They're super friendly, easy going and always fun to be around. :)

Thanks again

Me and a friend booked our whole East Coast through to.travel. It was amazing and so well organised, all we had to do was show up for the bus and all the accommodation, trips, and travel was sorted. All the accommodation we stayed in was amazing and so close to everything and also close to the bus pick up and drop off.

All the trips we also had with our package were so fun and we got such a good deal!

Thanks again to Adam and Daryl, would definitely recommend using to.travel to book with, especially if you are coming to Australia for the first time they will sort you out with everything you need!

Top lads

I met Adam and Darryl in Melbourne in May 2013. I had no idea what to expect as I'd never been travelling on my own before, so I was extremely nervous. However, after meeting these two mavericks I was left thanking my lucky stars. They were so knowledgable and set up my travel from Melbourne to Cairns in one afternoon. Their enthusiasm for travel was second to none and they really made me feel at home with their attitude and professionalism- not to mention their wit!

I had the time of my life travelling up the east coast and it was down to their hard work and ability to pick the best package to suit my needs and wants. I even had the good fortune of bumping in to them back in Melbourne some three months later where we shared a jäger bomb or two! If they're organising a party bus or pub crawl, then you'll have a fantastic night that's for sure!!

If I was going back to Australia then I would undoubtedly hook-up with these two. 10 out of 10. We are very quick to criticise but these two deserve all the praise in the world.

Although, if you get friendly with Darryl then please shave his head for me. Ha ha!

Excellent travel advice in all seriousness though. Can't wait to book on to their tour when I'm back in January 2018 :)

The guys in the know for an amazing adventure

I came with a friend to Melbourne and had very little travel experience at the time. I had no idea what I going to do whilst in Melbourne and then I met Darryl & Adam in a hostel and they were absolutely superb, giving me great little insider tips. Things that you could spend years searching for online and still not find the right places.

Turns out Melbourne has some of the best food in the world, even more so if you know where to look!! I had some of the best nights of my life in Melbourne and up the east coast and these guys seemed to know where to go and knew the right people to get us into great pubs, clubs and bars.
They advised also on my East Coast trip in Australia and then onto New Zealand. I can't thank them enough for their help.

Cheers Matt

I first met Adam & Darryl in 2011 when I arrived in Melbourne. These two took me under their wing and made my time in Melbourne one I will never forget.
From the best cheap eats around the city to the best night life and culture this amazing city has to offer, these two are the best to show all the hidden gems. If you don't like dumplings like more than likely adam will try and convert you lol.
P.s if you have extra time in Melbourne get them to bring you to dingers in china town DOICEEEEE VENUE

What was even better when I then moved on to travel the rest of Australia they were able to help me get the best deal's and advise me on where to stay longer, and where to just pass on through.

if you are looking some one to help Make the beginning of your trip and make a friend for the rest of your time travelling look no further than these two
