        Lunch not what we expected
        Stops at the viewing points and the stroll through pretty Sorrento was lovely and St Andrews Beach Brewery is wonderful. However we had picked this tour over the many others on offer to the peninsula because lunch was described as "During the two-hour sailing journey, you’ll enjoy a lunch of local produce" and "Lovers of food and wine will enjoy this relaxing lunch made up of a shared grazing table of the regions best produce". This turned out to be kiosk vouchers on a car ferry. NOT what we were expecting for our day out.

        Train experience was great. The rest are so so
        Healesville sanctuary was so so, could have been kept out of the itinerary. The stop at the little cafe before Puffing Billy was also a bit unnecessary, food there was also overpriced. The train ride was the highlight, we had a great experience and Lockey was kind enough to take photos. Tour guide was full of great energy throughout the trip. Would want to just get the train ride instead of the whole day tour ideally.

        Puffer Billaby
        Gina from Explore Australia was excellent, very informative about country & first nation people. Hanging feet out of windows on puffer billy was unique, depending on which side of the carriages you sit on depends on the view. Sanctuary was a Sanctuary, bird show was impressive.

        Amazing day out
        The perfect tour for anyone wanting to see some native wildlife and get out of the city into some natural spaces. The tour was timed well, didn’t feel rushed at any point and we weren’t waiting around either. Nik our guide was fantastic, friendly and very informative. You’ll see some great wildlife at Moonlit sanctuary with up close encounters with wallabies and kangaroos as well as the option to go spend some time with Koala’s. And the Penguin parade experience is truly special. This tour is great because it also shows you some of the natural wonder around Forest Cave beach at Cape Woolamai and the Nobbies centre, as well as the charming town of Cowes. Thoroughly enjoyed our day and would urge anyone travelling to Melbourne to take a day to do this tour!

        Great way to explore outside of Melbourne
        I had an amazing time on this tour. Everything went as planned (we even saw more things). The tour guide- Locky, was great, he talked about everything we were seeing and was very helpful. Even tho there were two groups for two tours, everything went very smoothly. The tour itself is planned amazingly. I loved getting to see the Aussie wild life and also seeing the being nature.

        Fantastic tour with an excellent tour guide
        When I arrived at the stop Margaret was waiting and was welcoming and helpful whilst we waited for the other bus to arrive. Gina arrived promptly and greeted me with a welcoming smile. She was informative, enthusiastic, caring, patient and passionate. Throughout the day she went out of our way to make us all have an amazing experience. She gave her too tips, took pictures and videos and made sure everyone was safe. Chatting to her throughout the day made the journey go by so fast .When I asked her how long she had been doing the job I was shocked to hear she was relatively new as her passion and information sharing was amazing.

        Nice!
        The trip is very nice! It is a small group tour and the seats are very comfortable, our tour guide Gary is very nice and he is willing to introduce the animals and geography of the park. And! There are many animals can see! We saw 3 wombats and kangaroo, emu… the view of the whole park is absolutely stunning. It is very worth to join.

        Thank you, Gina
        I recently had the pleasure of going on a tour with Gina, and I can't recommend her enough! She was so kind, friendly, and accommodating throughout the entire experience. Gina went out of her way to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. Her knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour even more enjoyable. Thank you, Gina, for being such an amazing guide! Looking forward to joining another tour with you in the future. Love, Ann and friends 15 September 2024

      I booked this tour a couple of weeks before our trip to Melbourne. It seemed like a great variety. That's exactly what we experienced and more! Matt, our guide, was informative and super fun. He did all the legwork, taking us to visit all the sites from farm to wildlife and then from lunch on a boat ride to wine tasting. It was a full day of getting to experience things we couldn't have on our own. It would've taken us forever to research it, at least! Some sites were special boutique places, which were a real treat. We were lucky to have gotten in as we were the only ones to sign up for that particular day. Instead of cancelling, which other tour companies might have done, Matt cheerfully came out and have us a private full day's tour. We're so grateful for the memorable experience. We highly recommend Matt and Viator!
