Amazing Experience
This tour is a must for every tourist visiting Melbourne. Our tour guide/driver was John and he was very friendly and informative with interesting facts through the tour. The Puffing Billy was an amazing experience and my 2 young boys aged 3 and 5 thoroughly enjoyed seeing and sitting on a steam train. Penguin Parade was incredible. We saw many penguins on the "penguin highway" after getting some tips from John as to where the best places are to spot the penguins. All in all 5 stars 🌟

Amazing Experience
Our driver was amazing! He was super kind and told us so many interesting and fun information about the wildlife and the history. The tour itself was great. My friend and I had a fun day with the Railway and on Phillip Island we saw so many Wallabies, Kangaroos and the Penguins was the highlight. Even though the scenic drive was not part of the itinerary he took that path for us which was amazing!

Great trip
Had a great day despite the following: Would have preferred a pickup from other side of Melbourne as had to cross City for the one and only pickup point. Also would have preferred if kept original pickup time to allow for a Lunch break as part of travel time. There was latecomers whom we waited for despite advice that we should be there in advance of the pickup time. These should have not been accommodated. For Dinner break in Cowes we were not provided with detailed options of places to obtain Dinner. Suggest train trip be extended to next station as it appeared that we passed the next station on way to Phillip Island
