About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- katherinebL7144MH0 contributionsFantastic wildlife and sceneryThe tour I did was the “Full Day Mornington Peninsula and Phillips Island tour. Marlene did a great job of showing us sights and wildlife, lunch at a winery, wine- tasting, and the penguin parade to cap the evening. She was very knowledgeable, considerate, and professional. I would definitely recommend this trip and this guide.Written February 17, 2025
- anthonylucente120 contributionsBest Experience thanks to Patrick!We had the best day with Pat - our fantastic tour guide! We explored the Mornington Peninsula including some fabulous meals and wines and then ended the day seeing the Penguin migration in Phillip Island. We can’t thank Pat enough for creating such an enjoyable, full day for us complete with engaging conversation the whole way through!Written February 1, 2025
- A8955GUjw0 contributionsGreat ToursBoth the Yara Valley Tour and the Phillip Island Tour were fantastic. These are great ways to see wildlife and areas outside of Melbourne. Our guide for both tours was Matthew. He was friendly, very knowledgeable, and a perfect guide. Note: It should be made clear prior to signing up for the Phillip Island Tour that no photography of the penguins is allowed at all.Written January 31, 2025
- Departure467346302410 contributionsExcellent day on the Great Ocean RoadOur guide Rafi treated us to a most excellent day hitting a few different highlights. We opted to go straight to the Twelve Apostles, which were breathtaking. We had a tasty lunch in Port Campbell, then drove the Great Ocean Road to Apollo Bay for a beach hangout. Pretty beach, not crowded. On the road back to Melbourne we found and photographed a group of koalas lounging in trees by the road. We also made a stop to take pics of a wallaby Rafi spotted. Rafi was an informative and engaging guide. All logistics were great, and it was a highly successful day.Written January 26, 2025
- davidpG6398AH0 contributionsWonderful time with Localing and the private tour of Wilsons Promitory national parkOur family of three (two adventurous parents and a cu 16 year-old) had the absolute best time on the Tour Gude Bianca at Wilson’s Promontory! From the moment our guide picked us up in a luxurious vehicle stocked with local treats, we knew this wasn’t just a tour—it was an adventure tailored perfectly to us. The morning started with a warm welcome and a mouth-watering garden-fresh morning tea at a private property. The spread was as beautiful as the setting! We felt like VIP guests savoring homemade delights while soaking in the serene landscape. Then, it was off to the stunning wilderness of Wilson’s Promontory. Words can’t describe the feeling of walking on Squeaky Beach’s soft, white sand—it really does squeak! Our guide’s knowledge of local history, flora, and fauna brought everything to life. We spotted wombats waddling by, kangaroos lounging, and even an emu strutting confidently through the bush! The Mt. WILSON Summit Walk was a highlight. The panoramic view of the Southern Ocean was worth every step, and the photo ops were unreal. Our guide adjusted the pace perfectly, making it both manageable and fun for our family. Lunch was an epic picnic in a postcard-worthy spot—fresh, flavorful, and paired with billy tea brewed on-site. The journey back to Melbourne flew by as we swapped stories and reflected on our magical day. This tour isn’t just a hidden gem—it’s the crown jewel of Australia’s wilderness experiences. If you love nature, wildlife, and unforgettable moments, book it now! You won’t regret it.Written January 3, 2025
- judycmiron0 contributionsGreat tour guide and tour on the ocean roadGerry was a fantastic tour guide for our private ocean road tour today. Went the extra mile to help us make our bucket list of things to see. He took us to extra locations he knew of to see animals up close. Highly recommend LOCALING tours and especially Gerry.Written December 25, 2024

- D925TBlindar0 contributionsInformative, exciting and adventurous!We took a private ultimate Ocean road tour and Melbourne night life tour with an incredible young tour guide named Aaron. He was very knowledgeable about the entire area from dining, historical stops, directions and more! He was even a wonderful private photographer! Our nature tour was adventurous as well as exciting. We did not only visualize we experienced the area! Aaron was quick to find out about our personalities and worked closely to make sure we enjoyed our tour and the Melbourne area.Written December 17, 2024
- billfitztravel0 contributionsMelbourne memoriesWhat makes the Great Ocean Road so great? You’ll find out on this tour! Our hotel recommended this tour to us and everything was perfect. Booking was easy even a few days out, scheduling was flexible and the entire day was personalized which created a wonderful memory. Our guide, Joe H, went above and beyond from the moment he greeted us in the hotel lobby to the final minute at drop off. He curated a day of history, koala and kangaroo spotting, great coffee and food, amazing coastal views and friendly conversation. It was the perfect touring experience for my wife and I!Written November 14, 2024
- Leslie G0 contributionsWonderful DayOur day with Aaron was filled with lots of interesting stories, information, laughter and fun! We learned a lot about the history of the road, the people, the sights and Aaron himself. The day went by too quickly and we hope Aaron will visit us the next time he comes to NY! Thanks for a wonderful day!Written November 2, 2024
- 837darrylc0 contributionsA fantastic day and guide!We had a delightful day on the Great Ocean Road! Joe our guide was fantastic, wonderful knowledge of the area and sights and the addition of personal and family connections to the area added the touch that made the trip memorable. I would highly recommend Localng and Joe!Written November 1, 2024
- sharonpV2447MN0 contributionsGreat DayFantastic guide and tour! We had a such a fun and informative day exploring the city and it's art thorough our guided walking tour. Guide was A+Written October 31, 2024
- tracyandywaugh0 contributionsFantastic personalized experience!Our party of four (two couples) spent two fantastic days touring with Joe. On our first day, we saw the city of Melbourne and surrounding areas, including a wildlife preserve, a winery and a gin distillery. On our second day, we drove Great Ocean Road to see the Apostles, stopping en route to see a kuala and kangaroos in the wild, and to enjoy a fish and chips lunch on the beach while one member of our group took a quick dip in the ocean. Joe shared a wealth of information and was a wonderful host, always making sure he was prioritizing our particular interests. It was a terrific personalized experience, and I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.Written October 6, 2024
- Tiasorrel0 contributionsFantastic trip with RafiWe just did the Great Ocean Road trip with Rafi as our guide, and it was an incredible experience! We had one specific request: to see kangaroos, and Rafi went above and beyond to make that happen for us. He knew exactly where to take us, and we were able to spot kangaroos, which was a major highlight of our trip. Rafi's service was exceptional from start to finish. He is not only extremely knowledgeable about the region's history, wildlife, and landmarks, but also very friendly and approachable. He made the whole experience fun and engaging, and his passion for the area truly shines through. Fair warning, there's a lot of driving on the Great Ocean Road, so be prepared for some long stretches on the road. However, Rafi kept things interesting with stories, facts, and stops at stunning viewpoints. We highly recommend this tour with Rafi for anyone looking to explore the beauty of the Great Ocean Road and experience excellent service along the way!Written September 24, 2024
- JYREGINSTER0 contributionsBest way to discover Melbourne from insideWonderful tour. Our guide, Rafi, showed us all the hidden gems of the city. He was incredibly knowledgable about Melbourne history. We enjoyed every moment. After four hours we had the feeling that Melbourne is our home from home. Extremely comfortable BMW SUV, totally clean and bottled water available.Written September 14, 2024

My wife & I went on a private daytime tour of Melbourne with our wonderful guide Mercedes. She was very flexible and adapted to our preferences by emphasizing the city’s history while answering all our questions. Normally there’s more driving around & sitting in restaurants, but instead she was fine with walking us into many special areas that only locals know about.

Aaron, was such a brilliant tour guide, he was born in Melbourne and really knows his food (I work in the business, trust me.)
He took us to really interesting suburbs and places we would otherwise not have found. He really listened to what we liked and made the tour totally bespoke.
He also went to so much trouble to ensure we got the best out of our stay when we left him by giving us a comprehensive list of places to go.
Plus he is a really nice guy to spend time with!
Don't hesitate to book.

Anna was absolutely SENSATIONAL. She listened to what we were interested in and curated the food tour around that. she took us to her local favorite places for coffee, pastries, lunch and dessert. she also took us around to see some great street art. Anna totally vibed with our group of 8 ranging from 8 years old to 84 years told. 100% recommend Anna and this tour.

Great half day tour if you want to experience the local Melbourne culture and food. Our guide, Nick, was awesome and showed us many hidden gems (and this was after we explored it on our own and thought we’d seen most of it - we were wrong). Would highly recommend this tour.

It's like going around Melbourne with a friend - a friend who does all the thinking and all the driving. We had a great time with Brook, he was great fun to be around and he was seamlessly able to adapt to our sudden changes in wants. I felt that the stops were unique and the food experiences were exactly what I like: constant grazing, varied cuisines and local favorites.
It was a relaxing and wonderful way to see an enormous amount of the city without the anxiety that often comes with travel and touring.

Eliot took us on a fantastic tour of Melbourne with a focus on street art, local food, local markets, and the Melbourne cafe/coffee culture. He was fun, low key and very knowledgeable and he made us feel like we were family. We met local cafe owners and he even arranged a meeting with a local artist. He went above and beyond and we are very thankful for our thorough introduction to the “cool” Melbourne. You must request Eliot for your tour. We teased him that he looks like Harry Styles. Please forgive us Eliot!!😉

I did this trip as a conference add on. I have been to Melbourne many times before but have never done a formal tour. I didn’t know what I was missing! This was great I found out so much about Melbourne history, street art, bars and restaurants to try that I would never have found. I highly recommend this and Patrick as your guide. Excellent!!
