Puffing Billy & Pinguïn Parade Chocolade Wijnproeverij Bushwandeling 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.

Overall, the tour was good, although the itinerary felt a bit rushed. There were so many places to visit, but not enough time to fully enjoy each one. The highlights of our trip were definitely the rainforest tour and the Puffing Billy experience—they were absolutely superb! I’d also like to give special recognition to our tour guide, Mr. Joe Chan. He was incredibly kind, friendly, and accommodating throughout the trip. He went above and beyond by helping us take photos and videos, making sure we captured wonderful memories together. We truly appreciated his thoughtfulness and exceptional service. Thank you, Mr. Joe Chan, for making our experience even more enjoyable. Kudos to you!

Great experience! We had fun riding on the train and seeing some Australian animals from the zoo. Great guide who suggested great tips on where to best spot the little penguins at the Phillip Island. Highly recommended!

Het was een super redelijke en zeer uitgebreide regeling. Vertrek om negen uur 's ochtends was niet vermoeiend, en als je in de buurt van het treinstation verblijft, kun je zelfs ontbijten in het hotel voordat je vertrekt. Joe was super aardig, altijd geduldig, en hielp iedereen met foto's maken. In de kleine trein maakte hij zelfs korte video's voor ons, wat voor mij, als alleenreiziger, een heel bijzonder aandenken was. We genoten van een heerlijk ijsje bij de chocoladefabriek en gingen daarna wijn proeven bij de wijnmakerij – hoe kun je Australië bezoeken zonder wijn te drinken! Ik heb ook kangoeroes aangeraakt waar ik altijd al nieuwsgierig naar was; hun vacht is echt heerlijk zacht, en als je eten hebt, zijn ze erg enthousiast. We zagen ook koala's, meer dan we in Taronga in Sydney hadden gezien. 's Avonds gingen we naar de pinguïnparade kijken, maar dat viel een beetje tegen. Misschien was de afstand te groot, en het leek behoorlijk te verschillen van wat online werd geadverteerd. Ik heb het gevoel dat dit eiland geschikter is om zelf te rijden en een nacht te blijven, het is echt heerlijk.

超級推薦這個一日遊！早上9點集合，晚上9點半回到墨爾本市中心！ 行程時間上安排的很剛好，加上司機兼導遊Joe很專業又細心，每個點都親自帶著我們，在車上邊開車邊用英文介紹景點。他是香港人，會粵語、中文、英文，英文介紹的很詳細，在澳大利亞待25年了，開車平穩！很幸運可以遇到一位好導遊，每一站都會幫大家個別拍照，搭乘小火車時還幫我們站在橋上錄影片。對小朋友也很友善！！！ 我們乘坐中型巴士，一團大概20人！ 第一站巧克力工廠停留40分鐘無限試吃巧克力 第二站品嚐葡萄酒（自費15澳/人），時間停留30分鐘，品嚐5種酒，每種大概2口的量，我覺得這個行程可以不用自費來體驗，可能我不是專業的，喝不出特別之處。 接著是午餐，停留在一個小鄉鎮，有麥當勞跟中式餐館可以選（自費），大多數人都選擇吃麥當勞，停留40分鐘。 我們的蒸汽小火車時間是下午2點15分，運氣很好剛好火車沒有延遲，天氣也很好，搭乘時間約半小時，乘坐位置很重要，坐右邊才拍的到小火車的美！只可惜時間抓的剛好，沒有時間停留紀念品店買明信片收藏。 再來是Mary無尾熊+袋鼠公園，跟市區的動物園不一樣的地方在於，這裡的比較小，但是可以近距離餵食+觸摸袋鼠。這是自費行程，一人30澳（團體票價格），停留時間約45分鐘，非常值得來體驗！大家都玩的很開心。 最後一站是企鵝歸巢，時間停留一小時看得夠。主要是企鵝在日落後才會歸巢，一群一群的回家！建議提早卡位拍攝位置。 因為在墨爾本最南邊，氣候比較冷！ 總之，行程不會緊湊，坐車時間長要有心理準備，如果很幸運遇到Joe帶團，那將會是美好的一天！

Decided to join this tour as a solo female traveler, but ended up finishing the trip with a very grateful feeling. Joe Chan was my tour guide. He did his job very well and was very caring. The tour schedule wasn’t too packed, but it’s better to bring your own light meals to eat while you’re on the way from place to place. Highly recommended.

This tour was honestly one of the best experiences and activities we did during our 3 days in Melbourne. Everything was very well organized and we managed to visit all the places listed in the booking, including Maru Animal Park, Puffing Billy, and the wine tasting. Our tour guide, Joe, was super humble, friendly, and helpful throughout the journey. He even offered to take photos for us and explained many interesting things about the places we passed by along the way. The Puffing Billy train ride and wine tasting were definitely the most memorable experiences for me. Highly recommend joining this tour with Joe if you’re visiting Melbourne!

I chose to join this tour based on consistently good reviews of its tour guides, and I was not disappointed at all. Joe Chan is the most considerate guide I have ever met! He pays good attention to each person in the group (11 people) and offers help before we ask. It was a long day (over 13 hours and 400km mileage) but he managed to maintain a professional smile and high level of energy throughout the whole day. He sent us very clear guidance the evening before, prepared us with a lot of details at each stop on the tour, and helped all of us take pictures, so I felt well taken care of even though I was traveling alone. I would highly recommend this tour if a good guide is important to you. The Puffing Billy train and penguin parade are very unique and interesting experiences, not to be missed! I liked the Maru animal park as well - it’s small but you can get up close to the kangaroos and feed them. Wine tasting and chocolaterie are also interesting and not normal shopping stops.

Really decent tour to cover bits and pieces around the East/South of Melbourne in a day, that you would otherwise need to put effort in planning, booking & driving about. Shout out to William for taking care of us

my driver and guide for the tour is Joe and he is so friendly. Even though the Buffing Billy in our trip was canceled due to unexpected notice from Police, Joe then made it up for us by driving us to places near the beach, where we could see the beautiful sunset. If you are in to taking photos, you sure can get a lot of beautiful pictures. The whole tour was safe thanks to Joe. What a great experience!!
