Melbourne Day trips

This trip is absolutely worth taking again! The scenery was incredibly beautiful and breathtaking, and the journey was very smooth and enjoyable. Our driver and tour guide, Eric, was highly professional, friendly, sincere, and responsible. He also recommended some great food for me to try. I had a very fulfilling and fun-filled day, and arrived back at the hotel safely and on time. I am so grateful for such a wonderful day!

Our tour guide, Curtis, was very enthusiastic. At first, he seemed a bit talkative, but he also gave us time to rest later on. The entire tour had plenty of time, and we never felt rushed, though some guests might have been a little late. The steam train experience was excellent; I was surprised we rode it for almost 45 minutes. I personally think most souvenirs aren't necessary to buy; it's better to use that time for photos and enjoying the scenery. When we went to see the penguins, I was surprised that the guide noticed I was wearing a skirt and asked if I was cold, even thoughtfully giving me a hand warmer. I'm not someone who gets cold easily, so I immediately gave the hand warmer to my friend who does. I highly recommend buying the deluxe seats because you'll be incredibly close to the penguins, almost within arm's reach, as you watch them come ashore and then return. It's absolutely worth it. Even more surprising was the sky full of stars; the scenery combined with the penguins was truly a perfect 100. Many thanks to the tour for this wonderful experience.

The guide Augustine is very knowledgeable about the tour. He served as driver and guide which is very promising. The itinerary is just perfect for a day. We are a group of 53 people and yet the tour went smoothly and perfectly.

Anthony is the *Koala Whisperer*. Fantastic tour because of the smooth driving and considerate toilet and snack breaks offered by Anthony. Cool and comfy Van with branded with explore australia. unique and premium. The places are unbelievably beautiful. 12 Apostles and Loch Ard is stunning. was able to see wallabies and Koala in its natural habitat because anthony has sharp eyes and knows koalas like his cousins. Amazing rainforest, very meditative and relaxing. tourguide anthony also have Stories about the flooding in Lorne. 10/10 all tourguides should be like anthony haha

The ride on the Puffing Billy steam train was truly impressive! Sitting on the open carriage window sills, dangling our legs outside, and feeling the breeze while passing through lush green forests was such an exciting experience! The penguin parade was incredible! I was grateful to see around 60 penguins—on average, about 700 penguins come out to the island each day. Australian penguins are the little penguin and irresistibly cute! I was also delighted to see baby Cape Barren Geese; they are utterly adorable! Our tour guide is knowledgeable and cares for our basic needs such as going to the bathroom and having our meals during the day. I highly recommend wearing enough clothing because Philip Island is very windy.

Amazing experience. This is my 2nd time to book the Philip Island tour (first one was from another tour company) and this is way better than the 1st one I booked. The guide, John, was very engaging and entertaining. He told us interesting stories on the places we visited. Even told us a lot of fun facts of the animals native to Australia. Time for each location is just enough (not rushed). He is also very efficient, too. Took our orders in advance (optional) so we didn't have to wait long for our lunch. Also took our penguin parade tickets ahead so we were able to enter the venue while other tours are still outside on queue. I highly recommend this tour.

very convenient way to do a tour of yarra valley and go for a ride at Puffing Billy. That was really the highlight of the tour. The other stops were just to build up the excitement. The wine tasting was worth spending a little bit too. Everyone was relaxed after it.

A fantastic trip! We were greeted By our driver John. He is exceptional and funny. Friendly and always joyful. Made the whole bus enjoyed the journey. Pick up time was early but it was worth it. Smooth journey. We really enjoyed this trip. Just be mindful and stick to the the time given by your driver. We had to be waiting for half hour in the bus by 2 girls post-ski. It will be good if every member of the bus plans their time well. Overall, John made it all better!! Thank you John!!

amazing tour. Hugh is a good translator, good tourguide, looks after the participants. places visited are magnificent. 10/10 will avail the optional tour again. saw a mommy koala craddling her baby while both are sleeping. all in all worth it. was able to feed the kangaroos. kangaroos are free and has a designated refuge area thus they are well treated. all kangaroo sizes are present and bonded with us
