Reviews: [Limited-Time Special Offer in April] Melbourne Puffing Billy Steam Train + Phillip Island Penguin Island Day Trip
Guest User2026-03-11
This group tour of the Melbourne Steam Train and Phillip Island was fantastic! The itinerary was well-planned and smooth. The Puffing Billy Steam Train was both retro and soothing, winding through the Dandenong Ranges with picturesque scenery. The open-top carriages were incredibly comfortable, perfect for taking amazing photos. The Chinese-speaking guide was professional and enthusiastic, providing engaging commentary and attentive guidance throughout the journey. We didn't have to worry about transportation or tickets, making it a relaxed and worry-free experience. The evening penguin parade on Phillip Island was adorable; the sight of the little blue penguins waddling home was heartwarming. The atmosphere was orderly, and the guide even reminded us of important information beforehand. The driver and guide were reliable, the pace was relaxed, and the whole day was fulfilling and unforgettable. It's a must-do classic tour in Melbourne, highly recommended!

Reviews: [Optional Popular Wooden Bridge] Melbourne Puffing Billy Steam Train + Phillip Island Penguin Island Day Trip
Guest User2026-03-31
It was a fantastic trip! We set off at 8 AM to catch the earliest little train. The cool, refreshing morning air and the steam from the train were so pleasant. The staff were incredibly helpful, waving goodbye as the train pulled away. We saw many residents and tourists along the way, and everyone greeted us warmly – it was so much fun! Then we went to the zoo and a chocolate factory. The driver kept giving us tips on how to have fun and eat the most cost-effective things. We then visited a beautiful island, and finally, we went to Penguin Island. There weren't many penguins that day, but we still saw a few up close. We didn't get back to the city until after 11 AM. The trip was quite long, and the driver was the most tired, as he had to drop us off and then drive home himself. I highly recommend this tour! Small car transportation, fewer people, and comfortable.

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 arrived at the hotel on time for pick-up and drop-off. The experience was great with fewer people. The steam train was coal-fired, and the smoke was a bit dirty; I was covered in fine coal dust on the way back, so try not to open your mouth when facing the wind. The penguins were adorable, and you could see them up close from the boardwalk. The starry sky was also beautiful. We had already seen the zoo in Brisbane, so we didn't go again. One hour seemed a bit rushed for the zoo. Kudos to our driver/guide, Banban; he drove very smoothly and also shared some sightseeing tips.

Reviews: [April Mercedes-Benz Mid-Range Special Price] Melbourne Great Ocean Road Trail + Twelve Apostles Gibson Day Trip
Guest User2026-03-04
Before the trip, we compared various platforms and found Ctrip to be the most cost-effective because it's a local travel company. We later saw a branch of Ctrip in the city. The entire itinerary was well-organized and reasonable. Our driver, Mr. Lin, provided very detailed explanations, sharing a lot of information that independent travelers wouldn't encounter. Each stop had a designated time frame, ensuring the overall activity schedule was well-planned. Under Mr. Lin's leadership, the entire group was well-organized and harmonious, even when the tour was fully booked. The scenery along the Great Ocean Road is truly beautiful and worth a visit.

Reviews: Small-Group Phillip Island Afternoon Day Trip from Melbourne
Guest User2024-09-10
We chose the one day trip to Philip Island tour and it was great! We first arrived at the moonlit sanctuary for seeing and feeding Kangaroos and Wallabys and watching different kinds of animals, then we went for sightseeing the penguins at Philip island which also was great! Little penguins parade at the beach, much recommended. At the place you can have a delicious dinner and buy something at the shop. I also want to recommend buying the premium ticket to see the penguins, worth it. I strongly recommend this tour and Oceania company, they are very serious with their job and very friendly. Our guide Judith, was always attentive to our needs and questions, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and welcomed. Judith truly made the trip unforgettable, was on time in the hotel to pick us up, very kind and gentle with us; she explained everything about the city of Melbourne and Sydney, also about different Fauna of Australia and various topics. she demonstrated a deep knowledge of the place, offering fascinating details and enriching the experience with interesting anecdotes, she also brought bottled water for us (very important to stay hidrated on these long tours) for what we were greatfull, she was very nice all day and helped us in every way she could. Thanks for everything,
