Things to do in Healesville

Because the main focus was to ride the steam train, and because I didn't want a long drive to see penguins, I chose this tour. Although I felt the price was a bit high, convenience was important, and it was no problem even though I was the only one participating! I was very lucky that the other members on the bus were all great, and the driver was friendly and chatty. The steam train was very worthwhile, the weather was great, and the scenery was beautiful. I recommend that as soon as you get on the train with family and friends, you should quickly find seats, otherwise you might not get a seat on the right side where the scenery is more beautiful, or someone might cut in line! The zoo portion of the trip was okay; I didn't see many kangaroos, but I was still happy to see koalas! A minor incident: the bus was quite hot, and the chocolate I bought at the chocolate factory melted on the floor!

This tour is so worth the money! Mark was an excellent guide who gave us a lot of trivia about Melbourne, Yarra Valley, and notable spots along the tour. He also made sure to get the guests as comfortable as possible with him, the stops, and each other. The trip includes a stop at the Strawberry Farm, cheese tasting at the Coldstream, a stop at Chandon, wine tasting at Yering, and chocolate tasting at Chocolaterie. All the tastings are included in the package but Mark got us something to share at the Strawberry Farm and Chandon, so each stop was really exciting. On the way home, we made stops to see some bats and kangaroos from the van. This is a well-planned, great value-for-money, lesiurely yet activity-filled tour.

This wasn’t my first time visiting Yarra Valley, but it was definitely the most fulfilling one! Even though I joined the tour solo, I was super lucky to meet a group of really friendly and fun people from all over the world. After a few rounds of wine, everyone quickly became friends and the vibe was just amazing🍷 Huge shoutout to our guide, Stefan (hope I spelled it right)! He was great from the very beginning, sharing lots of interesting info about Melbourne and even trying his best to help us spot kangaroos and wombats (sadly, no luck that day). You could really tell he cared about everyone, even during lunchtime. This was also the winery tour where I got to try the most wines ever—four wineries and around 20 tastings (if I remember correctly 😆). So much fun! The Tasmanian salmon I chose for lunch was also delicious. Highly recommend this tour! Whether you’re traveling solo or with friends, you’re guaranteed to have a great time.

this trip was amazing. we go with teepee tour. our guide, Matthew was cheerful person, talkative, and service mind. gave us plenty of interesting information about each stop along the way, explaining the history and background in an engaging way that was easy to follow.

Lisa was such a charming tour guide and very considerate of our needs. I really enjoyed the tour and we were given ample time to enjoy the stops. I had a nice time at the tour!

easy to find the meet up point and it was a fantastic trip. Driver/tour leader is a very fun person, Rod is the man. more importantly, the cellar door picked is very much on point and diverse in a good way. don’t miss Payten and Jones! the trip was made better by having a group of mate from different continental but all very friendly and easy to mingle.

plan it on a sunny day and the enjoyment would be double. This tour give you option to decide where you want to decide, which you need too reserve direct with the cellar door. links are all provided in their info site. technically can do 4 stops. Aaron the tour leader is very cheerful and helpful which makes the road trip more enjoyable!
