Our Touring Philosophy 

At Go West Tours our mission is to provide Melbourne’s most entertaining, informative and memorable day tours. We recognise that all too often, day tours are little more than a shuttle bus between photo opportunities. We have therefore set out to ensure that our journey is itself a significant part of the touring experience. Our guides are hand-picked and comprehensively trained to provide you with a truly memorable Australian experience.

Go West Tours is the first tour operator in Australia to offer a fully mobile personal translation service, allowing our non-English speaking guests to receive their tour information in their own language. Our major tour spiels have been professional translated and recorded, and through the use of our specially-configured iPods, tour information is delivered in a discreet and timely manner.
