This trip was well worth the money. We had an amazing guide named Jess that was very knowledgeable and kept an upbeat energy for the entire day. We given a good amount of time to explore each stop and opportunities to see wildlife. Highly recommend this tour!

The itinerary for this trip was smooth, and we made unforgettable memories at every attraction. Our driver and guide, Mr. Stephen, was professional and patient, providing very detailed explanations in both Chinese and English. The driving was steady and safe, making it a wonderful journey!

Today was the long-awaited Puffing Billy and Penguin Parade day tour! We met at Spencer Street at 9:30 AM, and our first stop was the Brighton Bathing Boxes! We took so many beautiful photos! It truly lived up to its reputation! We finally checked that off our list! Then we set off for Puffing Billy! It was an hour's drive, a unique experience! In between, we opted to visit a farm called Maru, where we got up close with kangaroos, which was so much fun! (We stayed for an hour and a half.) After that, we headed to see the penguins! We waited for an hour, standing in a prime spot for a close-up view. The penguins were so cute and tiny! I heard a foreigner next to me describe the whole parade as "fascinating," and I think that's a perfect description! It was definitely worth the price! (=゚ω゚)ノ Finally, a big thank you to our guide and driver, Uncle Steven, for giving us such a wonderful experience! Thank you!

Our guide, Bob, was very professional and friendly! Even though it was drizzling a bit, the whole day's itinerary was still very worthwhile!

Our tour guide didn't provide much information along the way. After taking us to the train, we boarded individually. The itinerary felt a bit rushed. The weather was great that day, so we saw very beautiful scenery, but the train only went one way, so remember to take pictures quickly on the outbound journey.
