Things to do in Healesville Sanctuary (Zoos Victoria)

The tour guide was excellent, funny and humorous, and knew how to speak Cantonese, Mandarin, and English. They provided detailed introductions to the attractions and fun places at each location. The steam train is a must-ride; it really brings back the feeling of the old days. I'm not sure why there was a mandatory 5 AUD tip, though. At the end of the tour, they also recommended some great places to eat in Melbourne city.

Devin, our tour guide/driver was really good and friendly! He’s accommodating and very patient. The tour was fun, the highlight of our trip were the Puffing Billy and The Noobies. Must try if you’re visiting Melbourne.

Magical Day Out: Puffing Billy Steam Train + Penguin Parade & Brighton Beach A perfectly balanced mix of heritage, natural beauty, and wildlife magic. Highly recommended if you want a little taste of everything Victoria does best in just one day.

It was a relaxed day and our guide Tom was great! He gave history of the Puffing Billy Train and the sanctuary before we arrived. He even helped us to take pictures - so sweet of him. Everything was just perfect!

awesome👍 everythng goes well! thumbs up for the Curtis to be 2in1 at the same time (driver + tour guide) . and also he gave the best advice to get a better experience for this one day tour and knowledge about the animals

Departure from Melbourne city center is very convenient. The tour guide is responsible for driving and providing detailed explanations. Highly recommended.

My family had a wonderful time. The whole trip was smooth, and the highlight was the Puffing Billy train, which turned out to be unexpectedly fun and delightful!

Our guide, Curtis, was very responsible and consistently provided information about nearby attractions and itinerary details throughout the trip. The itinerary was well-planned, with sufficient time allocated for each attraction. The small train ride was a unique experience, and the penguin parade was very entertaining. Watching the penguins come ashore in groups and waddle over was truly adorable.
