Great guide, full of random encounters, suitable for visitors who like surprises. - Michael is a vibrant local tour guide who not only discusses the contents of the established itinerary, but also offers many of Melbourne’s worth visiting attractions to our tourists. This event is much better than I imagined before I attended.
The only thing that China lacks is that the day the penguins were not too on the coast is really a pity...

An Unforgettable Tour with Aleks – Fun, Knowledge, and Penguins! - Our tour guide, Aleks, was amazing! She was not only friendly and humorous but also highly professional. Throughout the trip, she shared a wealth of knowledge about Melbourne’s history, making the experience both fun and educational. Being able to see the penguins was absolutely incredible—truly a unique Australian experience! We truly enjoyed every moment of the tour. Highly recommended!

Awesome day! - What a great day! Interesting, beautiful, well-planned and organized, and ended with sweet, adorable penguins! It's a long day, but every element was fun, interesting and well-thought out, and our tour leader (bus mom) Jacqui was outstanding!

A successful excursion package - Well organized. The guide (Rhys) had the time management under control. Sympathetic and interesting information about flora, fauna and much more. We had fantastic weather and were able to fully enjoy all the targeted destinations. But please don't claim to be on the road alone. These "hotspots" are shared with many people. Nevertheless: worthwhile! Also because of Rhys...😄

Only partially recommended - The locations of the tour were fantastic. Unfortunately at all locations too little time to enjoy them properly. The penguins at the penguin parade were cute but very far away and not easy to see. I would have expected a little more. For me, the tour was not worth it.
