Relaxing and scenic - Leelee was a great guide... Friendly, informative and great communicator. It's a chill, half day tour with great scenery. Nice to get out of the city for a change of pace.

A variety of experiences in the gorgeous Dandenong Ranges. - A great 6 hours with a variety of experiences, including a ride on Puffing Billy, a short walk in the fabulous Sherbrooke forest and a delicious lunch at Lakeside. Gina was a brilliant tour guide. Warm and friendly and extremely helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. She was experienced and knowledgeable - and was an awesome driver. She handled the terrible Melbourne traffic with such skill and aplomb! Overall, a taste of the Dandenongs that left me keen to return and explore further (hopefully with Gina at the helm).

Well worth booking! - Gina was great! Very friendly, approachable and informative. I’d recommend this over doing it yourself as the transport to/from the CBD was really useful and you’ll also stop off for a walk around the forest which was cool!
