Amazing Experience

This tour is a must for every tourist visiting Melbourne. Our tour guide/driver was John and he was very friendly and informative with interesting facts through the tour. The Puffing Billy was an amazing experience and my 2 young boys aged 3 and 5 thoroughly enjoyed seeing and sitting on a steam train. Penguin Parade was incredible. We saw many penguins on the "penguin highway" after getting some tips from John as to where the best places are to spot the penguins. All in all 5 stars 🌟
