Passeios por Healesville Sanctuary (Zoos Victoria)

Since the main focus was to ride the steam train, and I didn't want a long journey to see penguins, I chose this tour. Although I felt the price was a bit high, convenience was key, and it was fine even for a solo traveler! I was lucky that all the tour members on the bus were great, and the driver was friendly and chatty. The steam train was definitely worth it; the weather was excellent, and the scenery was beautiful. I recommend quickly finding seats with family and friends as soon as you board the train, otherwise, the right side, which has better views, might not have seats available or you might get cut in line! The zoo part of the itinerary was perhaps just okay; we didn't see many kangaroos, but seeing koalas was still very enjoyable! A small incident was that the bus was quite hot, and the chocolate I bought at the chocolate factory melted on the floor!

The most anticipated trip to Melbourne this time was indeed unforgettable. We waited for the shuttle bus at the Regent Theatre at 8:25 AM. Fortunately, I received an email notification that there would be a purple bus and a tour guide. Alan was very kind, gentle, and humorous, providing thoughtful service. He was a great person, making our group of nearly 20 tourists very happy. All the planned itinerary stops were covered, just in a different order. In mid-April, the weather was sunny and the temperature was comfortable, with a cool breeze when riding the train. In the morning, we first went to the zoo to see cute koalas 🐨 and Australian kangaroos 🦘. Then, we stopped at a forest trail to breathe in phytoncides and see giant trees, where we could also use the restroom, staying for about 15 minutes. In the afternoon, we took a steam train for about 1 hour starting at 2:00 PM. The scenery along the way was beautiful and refreshing. The entire trip ended around 4:00 PM, and we took the bus back to the city. It was great to meet friends from various countries, and I highly recommend this tour 👍

The Yarra Valley wine tasting tour is an indulgent escape into a world of exquisite flavors and picturesque landscapes. From lush vineyards to exceptional cellar-door experiences, each winery showcases its unique charm. Knowledgeable guides and superb wine varieties make this tour a sensory delight—perfect for wine lovers and nature enthusiasts alike!

Really enjoyed the Great Ocean Road tour! William, our driver and guide, was wonderful and shared a lot of interesting information throughout the trip. He made the long drive enjoyable and the whole experience very pleasant. Highly recommend this tour!

It was a great trip I've ever had. The scenery was stunning. Warren is an amazing guide. He made us enjoy every minute of the trip. We saw wild kangaroos and koalas, which definitely added to this trip.

A wonderful 12-hour tour. The driver-guide Michael knows his job well and talked us through the history of Melbourne and loads of other information. He's also sociable and kept everyone entertained throughout. Got to see lots of precious animals on the tour.

I enjoyed it more than I imagined! At first, I was hesitant to join a one-day tour because of the high price, but I thought this tour was a good deal because it included admission to Victoria Zoo (normally 56 AUD). At Victoria Zoo, I was able to see rare animals such as koalas, kangaroos, and wombats up close. Although I couldn't touch the animals, the 3 PM Bird Show was spectacular. If you sit by the right-hand window on the steam train, you can take beautiful photos of the bridge visible shortly after departure. It was great that the guide took a video from below. The ride from Belgrave Station to Lake Side Station takes about an hour. This tour is recommended for those who want to enjoy Australia's nature, as you can see rich natural scenery even from the bus during transit.

The pickup location was conveniently downtown, not far from my hotel. Our driver, Margaret from Explore Australia, was great, very entertaining, and knowledgeable about the area and destinations. I loved the Puffing Billy ride and then the wildlife area. I would do it again next time I visit.
