Great Ocean Road Reverse Itinerary Boutique Tour - Max 12 Guests

Jiong_H, May 2026

Kangaroo, koalas, 12 apostles, rainforest in one day

We didn’t expect to see so many highlights in one day — kangaroos, koalas, the 12 Apostles, and the rainforest all in a single trip. We originally thought a 12-hour tour would be exhausting, but it really wasn’t, since most of the attractions didn’t require very long walks. There were some steps at Gibson Steps, but it was absolutely worth it. It was a great spot to take photos on the beach with the rock stacks, and there were no railings, which made it feel even more natural and scenic. The view of the 12 Apostles was truly breathtaking. Our driver was excellent and even found several spots where we could see wild koalas and kangaroos up close — which ended up being the best part of the trip. We would definitely recommend this day tour to anyone visiting Melbourne for the first time.

Puffing Billy Steam Train Experience

Kasia_T, Apr 2026

A Delightful Day on Puffing Billy with an Outstanding Guide

I had a wonderful experience on the Puffing Billy Railway tour with Cloe. Everything was exceptionally well organized—the tour started right on time, and the bus that picked us up from the city was clean and comfortable. Cloe truly made the experience stand out. She was not only a skilled driver but also an engaging and knowledgeable guide, keeping everyone entertained along the way. Her energy and warmth added a special touch to the trip. The one-hour train ride was absolutely delightful, taking us through beautiful eucalyptus forests, charming local villages, and the rolling hills on the outskirts of Melbourne. The scenery was peaceful and picturesque—exactly what you hope for on a heritage train journey. Overall, it was a fun and memorable experience, especially for families with kids. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something relaxing, scenic, and a little bit magical

John is an excellent guide with a lot of information about Melbourne and the wildlife in the area. Get to the viewing stands early so you get a good seat on the right side or middle of the stands. Walk along the left side of the boardwalk when leaving as you will see more penguins in their natural habitat.

Improvement suggestion

Unlike other Viator trip providers, Go West does not contact traveller about pickup the day before the trip. This increase the anxiety during our early morning pickup at a location we are not too familiar with and waited for 10 minutes post the pickup time identified on the instruction.

Am hoping you get this...

Am hoping you get this review of my Booking Ref 1356733365, Wed, 4 March 2026, Puffing Billy and Rainforest. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and while I do not recall our guide's name, he was excellent. He led us through the rainforest, answered numerous questions and provided a great deal of information. Then he took us to the train station and made sure we all had tickets, explained time and place for pick up. He came with the group and took photos as we sat on the train windows; he also drove to a place where the train passed and took photos for the group, which was above and beyond! We saw him several times after the train ride and felt reassured. Thank you for the wonderful experience and guide. Linda Okimura Mililani, Hawaii 96789 USA

Laid back, Yarra Valley Wine Tour: Wine, Cider, Gin, Beer + Choc

Lindy_S, Apr 2026

Great Day Out

A great day out. The wineries were picturesque with personal service. Yering Farm was a little piece of Australian rural life. The wines were good. My daughter and I particularly enjoyed Four Pillars Gin Distillery as we are "gin connoisseurs" LOL. Matt was an informative and cheerful guide who engaged well with our very multicultural group. It was great that those who didn't want gin or chocolates could do wineries instead, so all needs were met. There was also a choice of lunch venues. We loved ours at Huberts - I had a wonderful prawn pasta with a pino gris. The chocolate stop at the end was fun with a wide selection of made on the premises chocolate products. We shared a 2 Scoop waffle cone icecream - salted caramel and pistachio that was enormous & delicious! All up highly recommended.

Puffing Billy And Phillip Island Penguin Parade Bus Tour

The train and sightseeing...

The train and sightseeing were great. Our driver/guide Simon, was terrific. He kept us happy on the long drive to and from Phillip Island. Unfortunately only a few penguins participated that night. Our only complaint was that the van used was uncomfortable. Our knees were against the seat in front and there was no place under the seat to stretch out our legs. We are not particularly tall.

The half day wine tour...

The half day wine tour was great and we got to visit three different wineries, which were all pretty different. We opted for the gin tasting which was a great choice and got to try a lot of different gins. Jenny was a great tour guide and came with a lot of energy and interesting details about the area during the drive. She even followed up with restaurant recommendations for us after the tour. Definitely recommend for wine tasting in the Yarra Valley

What an experience! Communication ahead of the day was great and clear. The crew were brilliant - fun but took your safety very seriously. Getting involved in setting up and taking down the balloon was very cool. The air balloon ride itself was magic - amazing to see the sunrise and also the city from above!
