Very friendly tour guide (Tim) He was extremely knowledgeable and there was a lovely atmosphere on the bus and with the group.
Visited many Melbourne City highlights
Thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend this tour.
Wonderful tour to see penguins. Expect a long day but worth it try and get Chris as driver. Excellent
Chris is very friendly and knowledgeable. He told stories about the places along the way. He even offered to take photos for us! Thank you Chris for a memorable trip!
In a few hours you can see the city and then decide which parts they would like to explore and experience further. Our guide Israel was a remarkable and accommodating young man
Make sure you dress very warm. It’s very cold there. We had a great experience Definitely recommended!!!
Wow! This trip was amazing. We had Red as our tour guide for the full day and he really made it a memorable experience. I was nervous about how long the trip was, but it was definitely worth it. Red made even the bus ride fun and entertaining!
The day tour was very long - 13 1/2 hours! But the sights were great, and tour guide Hilda kept everyone's spirits up with relevant trivia, good humor, kindness, and insights!
