Doing what: Melbourne Attraction Pass: Melbourne Aquarium, Eureka Skydeck 88 and Old Melbourne Gaol
We enjoyed our trips to the Aquarium, Skydeck and Gaol immensely. My husband is an avid aquarium fan, having 4 fish tanks at home, and found the whole visit amazing. We took my son and his girlfriend with us to the skydeck and all 4 of us found the place fantastic. What views over the city!! We went to the Gaol the next day...very interesting but a bit weird in places...the death masks to name one thing!! We have some great photos to remind us of our stay.Christine. Leicester

Doing what: Melbourne's Underbelly Crime Tour
Guide, Alex, was very friendly and informative. Found tour a little long, though and if you haven't watch the tv show, which we hadn't , then the tour was harder to follow along on the information and places. We really enjoyed the Old Melbourne Gaol experience at the end of tour. The actor playing the sargent was great!

Doing what: Melbourne's Underbelly Crime Tour
This tour wasn't what we expected. I think more information about the tour could be provided on the website. Parts of the tour were good but we didn't get morning tea when it was supposed to be provided. We did enjoy the Watchhouse experience at the Melbourne Gaol at the end of the tour

We just drove around in a bus, but the old Melbourne Gaol and Watchhouse were good.

Eureka was Five Stars - had great views of Melbourne.
Melbourne Gaol was Zero Stars. Actor that showed us through the Watch House completely overacted and could not even answer politely a simple question which was "Are you really a Police Officer ?" outside which was asked very nicely once her performance was finished. I found out later that she was an Actor. Well maybe time she was sent back to acting school. She was rude which was part of her act. She didn't need to be rude once her act was over and I found this to be offensive.
I would not recommend Melbourne Gaol to anyone.
I went through Pentridge once it closed. It was an amazing 5 star rating. Melbourne Gaol was a zero star rating. I hope that this message is passed onto them so it can be improved. We are yet to visit the Aquarium.
