Step aboard and see the sights of Melbourne city from the top of an open-roof double decker bus. Full commentary is provided along the way and Groupies have the option to hop on and off during the tour. A full tour runs for 90 minutes, with 14 stops including Victoria Market, Melbourne Cricket Ground, the Aquarium, the Zoo, Crown Casino and Federation Square. Buses depart every 40 minutes, so there is time to explore each stop and then hop back on the bus to go to the next. A child ticket is for those aged 5-15 years, an adult ticket is for those aged over 16 years, while a family pass ticket is for two adults and up to four children.
