Reviews
Starting the day with a cup of coffee and enjoying the Melbourne scenery from the car, the tour guide introduced the city's highlights. We saw beautiful sea views at San Remo, and after crossing a bridge, we arrived at Phillip Island. Our first stop was Phillip Island Winery, where the sommelier introduced us to five wines: white, rosé, red, and sparkling rosé. They also prepared a platter for us to pair with the wines, including ham, cheese, grapes, figs, crackers, and bread. After the wine tasting, they served us various flavors of pizza, salad, and fries. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was great. Then, we headed to the Koala Conservation Centre, the Nobbies Centre, and the Penguin Parade. The coastal scenery along the way was spectacular and beautiful. The koalas and penguins were very cute, making the whole trip fulfilling and fun!
Perry was a fantastic tour guide. Felt like going out with a diverse group of friends by the end of the trip due to his ability to connect with us. Had a fab time with children seeing Koalas, going to a secluded beach, him slowing down so we can take pictures of Australian wildlife near noobies, the special wine he brought, and of course the penguins were stunning.
The tour was full of amazing attractions from Koala Centre, stunning beach views to lovely penguin parade. The lunch at winery was yummy with wine tasting experience, but it's too late at have it over 2pm.
Excellent tour ! Nice & professional tour driver. thank you Michael
I was satisfied with this tour, giving it a perfect score of 10 out of 10. There were no dull moments at all! Besides providing essential information, our guide shared interesting insights and took excellent care of all the group members. The atmosphere was fantastic!
Amazing Tour with Michael – Highly Recommend I recently booked a one-day tour through Klook on August 13, 2025.This experience exceeded all my expectations, thanks to our outstanding guide, Michael! From the very start, Michael’s enthusiasm and deep knowledge made the trip unforgettable. During the drive to Philip Island, he shared fascinating stories and insights about Melbourne and the surrounding areas. Despite the rainy weather, Michael’s flexibility and professionalism shone through. He adjusted the itinerary to include a visit to a local farm, ensuring that we could still make the most of the day. What truly impressed me was Michael’s ability to manage both guiding and driving roles seamlessly. the tour guide's dedication, adaptability, and genuine love for what he does made this one of the best tours I’ve ever joined. If you’re considering booking through Klook, don’t hesitate—this tour is a must, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Michael as your guide!
Wonderful trip, definitely will come back. The trip is well-organised, the guide is friendly, and some of the perks- including offering to drop us at the front gate- are so heart warming. Among all the day trips we have done for ourselves and our guests, this is definitely one of the bests we have ever experienced. We are so grateful that we have booked the Phillip Island trip with winery and penguin parade for one of our friends visiting us from Singapore during this year’s Chinese New Year. Another shout out for our guide Yuri, your knowledge and hospitality really made our day during this festive season. We genuinely hope that we can meet you again in the future.
Experience: The driver and guide were diligent and proactive. They provided detailed information about each attraction and drove safely and steadily. The booking information stated that the fee included lunch and dinner, but in reality, only one meal was provided, which was at The Yards winery between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM. I don't mind only having one meal included, but the booking should clearly state that only one meal is provided instead of two. Cowes is just a small town with many restaurants, and the attractions are not particularly interesting. It's unnecessary to spend almost an extra hour there; half an hour is sufficient. More time could be added to stay at the Penguin Parade venue.
much thanks to MIKE from Local Way, he’s super professional in the tours, we got very enjoy and fun so much.
A very delightful experience at Philip Island! Professional tour guide, nice wine and comfy vehicle.
