Reviews: Melbourne Puffing Billy Steam Train & Phillip Island Penguin Parade one-day tour
Guest User2025-11-10
It was really great! Our driver, Augustine, spoke English very clearly and gave smooth guidance, which I was grateful for. It was also helpful that she spoke Japanese. Everything was on time and smooth, and the tour was packed with content, but I was very satisfied with everything. We were able to feed kangaroos, see lots of koalas right in front of us, and see the penguins on Phillip Island, which was a spectacular view... I was really moved. They told us things like, "If you get hungry during the tour, make sure to have lunch at this time," so we were able to participate with peace of mind! I highly recommend it!★

Reviews: [Special Offer from November 11th to 14th] Melbourne Puffing Billy Steam Train + Phillip Island Day Trip
Guest User2025-11-13
What a wonderful day trip! I booked three days in advance, checked with customer service and was told there were still tickets available for the mini-train, so I immediately placed the order. The driver/guide was super punctual, very humorous, and provided commentary throughout the trip. He drove very smoothly, and I didn't feel carsick at all. The itinerary was also very well planned. Luckily, my fellow travelers in the group were also punctual. We returned to the city around 11 pm. Overall, I highly recommend it!★

Reviews: [November Mercedes-Benz minibus special] 1-day tour of Melbourne's Great Ocean Walk + Twelve Apostles
Guest User2025-11-13
We booked a day trip with the miniature train and penguin parade with them the day before, and had a great time. We then booked a Great Ocean Road day trip. Luckily, it was raining in Melbourne that morning, but the sun came out when we reached the Twelve Apostles! We took lots of photos, and even encountered some adorable wild koalas along the way. The scenery was beautiful, and the driver provided commentary. Highly recommended!★

Guest User2025-11-03
The day is really tiring but exciting. Be prepared for a long way. The road is winding. Get ready for it if you are sensitive. The views are spectacular. The driver will give a lot of information at the beginning. He is helpful, punctual and friendly. All depends on the weather . We ere lucky . The day was sunny and hot .★

Reviews: Melbourne Puffing Billy Steam Train + Penguin Island Day Tour [Visit two popular attractions in one day]
Guest User2025-08-18
Since it was a small group, the driver picked us up at the hotel on time. The small crowds made the experience very good. The steam train burned coal, and the smoke was a bit dirty. I was covered in fine coal dust when I returned, so I tried not to open my mouth when facing the wind. The penguins were cute, and you could see them up close on the boardwalk. The starry sky was also beautiful. I had already seen the zoo in Brisbane, so I didn't go. I felt that an hour was a bit tight for the zoo. I would like to praise the driver and tour guide, Banban, for his steady driving and also for teaching us some sightseeing tips.★

Thank you, John Yang, for being such a wonderful tour guide! The itinerary was well planned, even down to the restroom breaks, ensuring we avoided crowds from other tour groups. As you drove us around, we truly appreciated your effort in helping us spot a wild koala—such a special experience for our family.
Thank you also for giving clear directions at every stop and helping us capture family photos along the way. We’re grateful for your thoughtful care throughout the trip!
