Reviews: Melbourne Puffing Billy Steam Train & Phillip Island Penguin Parade one-day tour
Guest User2025-10-31
Today came back from a trip. It was a long day but I really enjoyed it. John, the driver, doesn’t speak much English and you won’t hear a lot of information but he is very helpful and tries to make everyone comfortable. All activities were on time. The bus was small and there wasn’t a crowd around me . I was the only Russian but anyway I felt absolutely all right on the tour. Highly recommend if you want to see a lot during one day.★

Guest User2025-10-22
It was a very good experience. We visited many places very efficiently. The vehicle was large and spacious. Next time we go out, I will definitely recommend my family and friends to continue to choose the services of our travel agency. The experience was very good. The driver will introduce everyone based on different attractions. Now I want to show you the beautiful photos I took during the whole trip!★

Reviews: [November Mercedes-Benz minibus special] 1-day tour of Melbourne's Great Ocean Walk + Twelve Apostles
Guest User2025-08-20
A very satisfying tour! We were lucky to have a sunny day at the Twelve Apostles, as it had been cloudy and rainy the previous day. The itinerary was well-planned, and we didn't waste any time. Our driver and guide, Xiao Liu, was very talkative and shared a wealth of local knowledge about Australia. He also drove safely and smoothly. We had planned to take a bus, but since there were only about 20 of us, we ended up using a minibus, so we actually enjoyed the service of a minibus tour. It was a great value for money! Everyone was very cooperative and met up on time, so we didn't waste any time waiting for people.★

Reviews: Great Ocean Road classic day tour [Chinese & English speaking driver/guide & popular spots & air-conditioned bus] in Melbourne
Guest User2025-10-20
Our driver aka tour guide Mr Tony is very friendly and dedicated person. For the searching of wild koala, he park the bus at the roadside and keep reminding us to be careful of the cars. We check in to all of the attraction spots on time and back in city at 8:30pm. Very recommended to join this day tour to pay a visit to great ocean roads if you don’t want to drive and not enough of extra time.★

Reviews: Melbourne Puffing Billy Steam Train + Penguin Island Day Tour [Visit two popular attractions in one day]
Guest User2025-08-18
Since it was a small group, the driver picked us up at the hotel on time. The small crowds made the experience very good. The steam train burned coal, and the smoke was a bit dirty. I was covered in fine coal dust when I returned, so I tried not to open my mouth when facing the wind. The penguins were cute, and you could see them up close on the boardwalk. The starry sky was also beautiful. I had already seen the zoo in Brisbane, so I didn't go. I felt that an hour was a bit tight for the zoo. I would like to praise the driver and tour guide, Banban, for his steady driving and also for teaching us some sightseeing tips.★

Reviews: Melbourne Great Ocean Road + Twelve Apostles Day Tour - Classic non-backlight reverse line
Guest User2025-03-15
To Melbourne, I must go to the Twelve Apostles Landscape. I have seen the picture introduction and been deeply attracted. We read the weather forecast and reported a day trip to Mercedes-Benz. The itinerary is more reasonable. The lighthouse time is slightly shorter. There is a small slope up and down. It is recommended to give ten more minutes. It is better. The route is the main attractions first. The return coastal road enjoys the picturesque scenery. It is beautiful. It takes more than an hour to return to the city from the lighthouse. It is not thought to be a three or four hour journey. Thank you very much for letting us see such a shocking beauty! ! !
