The "Melbourne Premier Tour' combines two popular tours for a full day of sightseeing at a bargain price. The day begins with a city tour exploring the character, charm and history of Melbourne. You'll visit the Italian Quarter and the Shrine of Remembrance, Melbourne's most visited and recognized landmark. There will be stops at Fitzroy Gardens, Captain Cook's Cottage and the Royal Botanical Gardens, where you'll have the opportunity to purchase a Devonshire tea, not included in the tour. The second leg of the journey includes a trip to Philip Island Nature Park where you may hand feed kangaroos and get up-close-and-personal with wombats and seals, as shearwater seabirds fly overhead. At the Koala Conservation Centre you'll view koalas in their natural habitat while walking along tree-top boardwalks. As night falls, the Penguin Parade begins. This daily migration of waddlers from the sea to flood-lit Summerland Beach is a memorable tour highlight. Bring a sweater or jacket because Australia's beaches at night are chilly during every season. Admission fees to Philip Island, the Koala Centre and Penguin Parade are included with this tour.
