Melbourne Day trips

An absolutely amazing day tour! The tour guide was exceptionally kind and thoughtful. Since I was traveling alone, the guide even offered to help me take photos and gave a Polaroid photo to everyone on the bus. Before boarding each time, a headcount was taken, and the meeting time and location were repeatedly reminded, making the arrangements very reliable. The guide also shared the best photo spots for the Puffing Billy Railway and exclusive tips for viewing the little penguins. Highly recommended! Because the steam train ride was scheduled for a little after 2:00 PM and we had plenty of time, the guide took us to some extra attractions not originally on the itinerary. Our first stop was the F1 Grand Prix park, where we saw graceful black swans; then we visited the Brighton bathing boxes, famous from Jay Chou's music video. In the afternoon, after riding the steam train, we headed to the zoo to get a close-up look at the kangaroos. The kangaroos were gentle and friendly, allowing us to hand-feed and pet them, and almost everyone managed to get great photos of themselves feeding the kangaroos. In the evening, we went to watch the penguin parade. It gets quite windy by the seaside, so it is recommended to bring an extra thick jacket. Following the tips shared by our guide, we successfully saw flocks of adorable little penguins, making the whole trip fulfilling and unforgettable! Fantastic day tour in Melbourne! Our guide was thoughtful and friendly. He helped take photos for solo travelers and gave free polaroids. He counted passengers and reminded us of meeting points, plus shared great tips for Puffing Billy and the penguin parade. We visited extra spots including the F1 park with black swans and Brighton's iconic bathing boxes. We got to feed gentle kangaroos. It's windy for penguin watching in the evening, so bring warm layers. Highly recommended!

Michael ist a great guide, a lot of fun and he has a great postive energy. During the tour there was a good communication and he was flexible for the wishes of his guests. I enjoyed a great day with him!

This is the 1st time I joined a Great Ocean Road Tour. The whole tour was great even if initially had some problems with the seating. Our tour guide was Augustine very knowledgeable and good driver but strict with time. We are able to see koalas on trees and we are very lucky to see one in the road passing by. The weather is also good during our tour. I highly recommend this Great Ocean Road Tour by Bus and Coach Charter

it was a great experience with the tour. John (our guide) is really funny and very helpful thank you so much for taking care of us. I really enjoyed seeing the attractions and animals spotting. I’d recommend to friends for sure !

one of the best tours I’ve had. Luke was the driver and tour guide. He was highly knowledgeable and fantastic. I wish I had a few more days in Melbourne to book Luke for another tour. The tour (itinerary) itself was amazing and Luke made it even more memorable. I’ll definitely be telling my friends and family about how great the experience was. we started off at the Moonlit Sanctuary and fed wallabies/kangaroos. The highlight was spotting the wild wallaby as we drove to the penguins. The best part was seeing the little penguins come up from the beach and waddle up into the grass. the gift shop was great too. It was a sunny day but definitely windy. the gift shop had great embrodied jumpers and zip ups as well as blankets to purchase. I love the penguin parade. Great thank you to Luke for making it so fun too. We listened to his playlist and he sang.

Had a great time on this tour! We visited Brighton Beach, rode the Puffing Billy, and ended the day with the Penguin Parade. 🐧 Everything was well-organized and the whole experience was smooth and enjoyable. Definitely recommend! ⭐️

Handsdown to the best tour i had in australia thus far. The guide Sean is friendly and safe in driving, and the trip to puffing billy, vineyard and chocolatarie has been an amazing experience because of his recommendations.

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.

Ricky L. was the tour guide and he did great job at managing the expectation of each timing for visiting different location (Puffing Billy Train - Maru Koala Animal Park - The Nobbies & Philip Island Penguin Parade).
