Reviews: Melbourne Puffing Billy Steam Train & Phillip Island Penguin Parade one-day tour
Guest User2025-11-06
Tony was incredible. The tour itself was amazing. The only drawback is that we were unable to visit Brighton Beach. However, it makes sense considering the train schedule and trip time. I'll do this once again in the future.★

Guest User2025-10-22
It was a very good experience. We visited many places very efficiently. The vehicle was large and spacious. Next time we go out, I will definitely recommend my family and friends to continue to choose the services of our travel agency. The experience was very good. The driver will introduce everyone based on different attractions. Now I want to show you the beautiful photos I took during the whole trip!★

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.★

Reviews: Melbourne Brighton Beach Boxes/Zoo + Penguin Island one-day tour with Chinese/English Option available
Guest User2025-07-27
We watched him as soon as the cute little penguin landed. His belly was white, his wings were black at the front end, his back was white, his head was black, and his back was gray. And as soon as it landed, it ran back to the sea, not knowing if it was afraid, and then came up and ran straight over the stairs. Then we hurried down the trail and saw a lot of little penguins standing by their nests, and there they kept screaming and screaming. Then they all slept, so cute
