Puffing Billy And Phillip Island Penguin Parade Bus Tour

Soumen_D, Nov 2026

A memorable trip to Puffing Billy and Phillip Island Penguin Parade

Dear Viator Team, I was really very impressed with the professionalism with a personal touch you provided to my spouse and myself during the trip. The instructions on the pick point were very clear. The shuttle bus from your partner organization (Wine Hop and Coastal Tours) came to the venue on time and warmly welcomed us at the bus stop. Matt, who drove us to the spot, was both a great driver and tour guide and did an excellent job in explaining the significance of each places we visited. Riding the heritage puffing Billy train, winding through the lush fern gullies, towering Mountain Ash forests, and charming country towns was mesmerizing. The icing on the cake was we were legally permitted to sit on the open-side carriage window sills with our legs dangling outside. Matt was very freindly and never showed any hesitation to take our pics at the beautiful spots we visited during the trip. At the Phillip Island, Matt stopped patiently at some spots and showed us the cute wallabies, barren geese and goslings and also spotted a baby porcupine for us. We were greeted with the greatest nature spectable at the Phillip Island when we saw the little penguings, walking back home to their litltle caves after fishing and eating in the sea all through the day in nice parade formation ; which wiped out our enhaustion and brought smile and cheers.

Our tour guide Bluey...

Our tour guide Bluey (Tom) and driver in train Denni were very professional and provided key information about the city and nature. However, the vehicle we were on could have been better. The seat space was so narrow and the fabric of the seats and safety belts need to be deeply cleaned.

A half day in the Yarra

It was a chilled-out experience for our group. We had a lot of fun and all enjoyed touring the Yarra Valley. Other small groups and or individuals also took the trip with us which was also great to mix and mingle. The tour leader was very informative, friendly and humerous.

Great day with Steve!

Ehhhh.......I was travelling on my own, but from the minute the tour started, Steve made sure I never once felt that way! I sat up the front, enjoyed all the great jokes, learned so much from his fantastic knowledge and had an all-round brilliant day. Moonlit Sanctuary was amazing, but seeing the little penguins was the icing on the cake! 🐧🥰 It was such a memorable experience from start to finish, and I honestly wish I could do the whole tour all over again! A huge thank you to Steve for making the day so enjoyable, for being so welcoming and for going that extra mile to make everyone feel comfortable. You're a credit to Sightseeing Tours Australia, Steve! If I could give more than five stars, I would. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne! 😁❤️

Paul_H, Nov 2026

Great day well led by Steve

It’s a full day but goes really quickly. You want a comfortable seat - which this tour operator provides - and a great driver / guide which Steve was. Very pleased with the day. Brilliant experience. We’d recommend the fish and seafood in George’s for lunch. A real highlight trip which we’re delighted with. Thanks for a great day Steve.

A hilarious and fun tour with Warren

We were totally amazed and enjoyed the Great Ocean Rd tour with Warren, the tour guide and the driver. We were mesmerized by the beautiful sceneries of Port Campbell National Park where the 12 Apostles stood proudly. We saw Koala bears in Marengo, enjoyed those famous Dooleys ice cream in Apollo Bay town, and the yummy chocolateries, and saw a bunch of kangaroos in the field. Warren had made our trip extra special due to his hilarious banter (Ozzie twang) that we all enjoyed and lots of laughing all the way. He went out of his way on taking us to extra sightseeing places as our group had been great on scheduled time. We will definitely recommend our friends to join your company tours. Thank you so much Warren for making our holiday a fabulous one. We give A+++ to Warren! Thank you to Viator Company. Our best regards Natalie and Bill

Great Ocean Drive tour

An unforgettable good memory was created on the Great Ocean Drive, thanks to Theo, our tour guide, who was excellent and very knowledgeable. He kept the entire group on the trip amused from start to finish. I had no idea what the trip would entail, but got more of beautiful Victoria than anticipated. Will recommend this trip to family and friends.

Full-Day Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles Tour

Climber16123571583, Oct 2026

A precious experience!

It was a truly wonderful tour. It was long, but it was very good to go. Recommended great tours! The large bus was full, and since I was the only one participating, I shared a seat with others. The guide does both driving and guiding, which was very surprising! The guidance was very easy to understand, and the story was interesting! The sea is wonderfully beautiful and moving! We will have lunch freely at Apollo Bay. The 12 apostles also felt the greatness of nature and history. I even saw a wild koala from the car window, what a precious experience! Depending on the season, the wind along the coast can be strong and cold, so you might need a jacket. Also, I took a bus from the Immigration Museum, but there are no restrooms nearby, so you should go to the restroom beforehand. The first stop is Chocolate Factory, and it's about a two-hour bus ride to get there. It's a system where, while in the car on the way to the Chocolate Factory, you select your favorite menu (coffee, cocoa, brownie, etc.) from a QR code, and you receive the freshly made item when you arrive. It's a very good system for saving time, and the coffee I ordered was very delicious.

Puffing Billy & Rainforest Tour from Melbourne

Our pick up was a fuss...

Our pick up was a fuss free event with the amazing Alan who picked us up. The train ride was an absolutely wonderful with breathtaking views of the scenery. The locals get into it and wave as you go past them. It was such a memorable day that we glad we did. The walk in the rainforest was great as well. If you get Alan he made our trip fun and had so much knowledge and an awesome sense of humour

hot air balloon ride Melbourne

Simply unforgettable experience! The hot air balloon day in Melbourne, flying over the CBD area, was something magical and difficult to describe in words. From the very first moment you can feel great professionalism and passion on the part of the staff, who immediately put you at ease and explain every phase of the flight with clarity and tranquility. Once in the air, the view is breathtaking: the silence, the colors of nature and the view from above make the experience unique and relaxing, almost out of time. Everything is perfectly organized, from the initial preparation to the final landing. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to treat themselves or give a special, romantic and really exciting moment. A memory that remains in the heart! special thanks to our pilot Nick kind, helpful, professional person
