Rocio_P, Aug 2026

An Absolutely Incredible Day – Highly Recommended!

This tour exceeded all of our expectations and was easily one of the most enjoyable day trips we’ve had. One of the best parts was that there were only six people on the tour, which made it feel very relaxed and personal. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to explore and enjoy each stop. The itinerary was fantastic, with a wonderful mix of rainforest, stunning beaches, charming coastal towns, and spectacular scenery. We enjoyed a delicious lunch in Apollo Bay, visited a chocolate factory, and were lucky enough to see a koala and lots of kangaroos in the wild! A huge thank you to our guide, Glen. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, kind, and organised, and he really made the day special. He shared interesting information throughout the trip, made sure everyone was comfortable, and was always happy to answer questions. The reverse itinerary meant we avoided the crowds at the major sights, and the small group made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It was an unforgettable day!

Phillip Island Penguin Parade and Koalas Tour from Melbourne

Christine_S, Aug 2026

Very special magical day

Such a privilege to see these amazing creatures up close. Added bonus was visiting the koala sanctuary. Our driver on the day was just the best. She was concious of our special circumstances and she looked after us so well. She went well and truly above and beyond and we will never forget her kindness. Sadly I can't remember her name but I want her and her employer to know that she was a true highlight of, not just our day but our whole holiday

Puffing Billy And Phillip Island Penguin Parade Bus Tour

Emily_W, Aug 2026

Loved!!

We had a great time on our tour! Our guide from Wine & Hop Tours (I’m drawing a blank on his name - Durk?) was friendly & very informative! He kept us up-to-date on our itinerary throughout the day, as well as shared his knowledge about the nature & wildlife. We started at Puffing Billy, an hour long train ride, which was fun & the scenery was gorgeous! We had time for food (if you wanted) & to explore the nature around Emerald Lake. After, we had a bit of a drive to Phillip Island where we stopped for DELICIOUS fish & chips. We recommend Nat’s!! Next we headed to the Nobbies - absolutely stunning scenery as the sun was getting ready to set on the horizon. On our drive to the Penguin Parade we saw many geese with their chicks, black swans, & wallabies! We got to witness quite a few penguins waddling up the beach, as well as penguins in the sand dunes making their way into their burrows after sunset at the Parade - what a privilege! Overall a long, but incredible day exploring some nature & wildlife in VIC. I definitely recommend!

Great Ocean Road Small-Group Eco Tour from Melbourne

Siyu_L, Aug 2026

Highly Recommended

We had a wonderful day experiencing and enjoying the breathtaking Great Ocean Road! The scenery was absolutely stunning, and the whole trip was well organised and enjoyable from start to finish. A special thank you to our tour guide, Kevin, who was fantastic throughout the day. He was friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining, and shared lots of interesting information along the way. He made sure everyone was comfortable and helped make the whole experience even more memorable. We had such a great time and would highly recommend Go West Tours to anyone wanting to explore the Great Ocean Road. A fantastic experience and definitely one of the highlights of our Melbourne trip!

Full-Day Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles Tour

Bipin_P, Aug 2026

An Unforgettable Great Ocean Road Experience- Luke was Fantastic!

What an absolutely amazing day! The Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles tour is one experience you simply should not miss when visiting Melbourne. The scenery throughout the journey is breathtaking - at times it genuinely feels like heaven on earth. A huge part of what made the tour so memorable was our guide and driver, Luke. What a fantastic guy! He was driving, guiding, sharing interesting information, keeping everyone engaged, cracking jokes with his great Aussie humour, playing energetic music and even singing along! His ability to multitask while keeping the whole group entertained was impressive. He was proactive, friendly and full of energy, and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. There was never a dull moment with Luke! A particularly nice touch was our first stop for coffee, hot beverages and light refreshments before continuing the long journey. It was a cold morning, so being able to enjoy something warm along with the refreshments was very welcome and a thoughtful gesture that we really appreciated. The stops along the Great Ocean Road were spectacular. We especially enjoyed exploring Apollo Bay, spending time around the beautiful beach and enjoying the local Aussie food and atmosphere. Another highlight for us was the optional helicopter ride over the 12 Apostles, available at an additional cost. We chose to do it and really enjoyed the experience. Seeing the magnificent coastline and rock formations from the air gave us a completely different perspective and made an already spectacular day even more memorable. Overall, this was an excellent, high-energy, scenic and thoroughly entertaining tour. Everything was well organised and well explained, and Luke’s personality, humour and enthusiasm really brought the whole experience to life. If you’re visiting Melbourne and considering the Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles tour, don’t miss it! And if Luke is your guide, you’re in for a fantastic and entertaining day. Highly recommended! 🇦🇺👏

Full-Day Phillip Island Tour with Kangaroo, Koala and Penguin Parade

Bipin_P, Aug 2026

A Scenic and Enjoyable Philip Island Experience

We had a very enjoyable full-day Phillip Island tour with our guide and driver, Elliot, who was warm, friendly and professional throughout the day. He explained each place clearly, gave us useful highlights about what to expect, and managed the timing of the entire tour very well. His guidance helped make the overall experience relaxed and enjoyable. The Nobbies was one of the highlights for us -absolutely beautiful and very scenic, with amazing coastal views. We also enjoyed the wildlife sanctuary and seeing plenty of wallabies and other Australian wildlife. Phillip Island itself is stunning and gives you another completely different experience of Victoria. The Penguin Parade was interesting, although the experience can depend a lot on where you are seated and where the penguins decide to come ashore. There is quite a bit of waiting, and being in the right place at the right time makes a difference. We were fortunate to see a group of penguins marching together, although they appeared on a darker side where there was very little lighting. Some audience areas seemed to have only two or three penguins passing by, so there is definitely an element of luck involved. Overall, it was a very positive and memorable experience. The scenery, wildlife and beauty of Phillip Island make the trip worthwhile, and Elliot did an excellent job as both guide and driver. His friendliness, explanations and good time management contributed greatly to an enjoyable day. Definitely a tour worth experiencing when visiting Melbourne!

Yarra Valley Wine & Winery Tour from Melbourne - All Inclusive!

Joan_C, Aug 2026

A wonderful way to spend a day!

A lovely day spent in beautiful surroundings with a congenial group of people, tasting a variety of wines at four different wineries - what could be better? There were 14 of us which seemed like a lot, but the group was easily handled at each stop. Our congenial driver gave us some information on each winery to add to the experience. Highly recommended.

Puffing Billy Steam Train Experience

juma_a, Aug 2026

The Puffing Billy takes...

The Puffing Billy takes travelers through Victoria’s beautiful rainforest and is truly an unforgettable experience. Our guide, Benjamin, provided us with many facts about the places we went through and their history in a witty and interesting manner. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone, and I can’t wait for our next time aboard the Puffing Billy.

Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Whisky and Chocolate Tour

Carol_M, Aug 2026

Fun day out in the Yarrow valley

Great day out with Gilbert and there certainly was not a dull moment. Everyone was made to feel very welcome and we visited a number of wine vineyards for tasting and also a chocolate experience! Very enjoyable day out of the city and informative about the Yarrow valley wines.

1 day Puffing Billy Steam Train and Wildlife Tour from Melbourne

Brian_C, Jul 2026

Great time, even in July!

Great day overall starting with the animal sanctuary and then Puffing Billy. We had ample time at the sites we stopped. Our guide, Nathan, was helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. July is definitely cold, so we dressed warm, but I think I didn't layer effectively. Regardless, a great time and I highly recommend.

Puffing Billy & Rainforest Tour from Melbourne

Jacob_S, Jul 2026

Definitely worth getting...

Definitely worth getting this tour. Having a driver is great, and there was enough time to enjoy a meal, go through the gift shop, and walk through the rainforest. We had Lachlan as our tour guide and he was so good. From the very beginning he was super friendly getting us all on the bus, and he had lots of cool stories and interesting facts to tell us. Also, he was super clear with instructions about where to go.

Hot Air Balloon Flights over Melbourne City (optional breakfast)

Olivia_M, Jan 2026

Go and do it!!

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! Felt very comfortable and would highly recommend
