Reviews: Melbourne Puffing Billy Steam Train & Phillip Island Penguin Parade one-day tour

It was really great! Our driver, Augustine, spoke English very clearly and gave smooth guidance, which I was grateful for. It was also helpful that she spoke Japanese. Everything was on time and smooth, and the tour was packed with content, but I was very satisfied with everything. We were able to feed kangaroos, see lots of koalas right in front of us, and see the penguins on Phillip Island, which was a spectacular view... I was really moved. They told us things like, "If you get hungry during the tour, make sure to have lunch at this time," so we were able to participate with peace of mind! I highly recommend it!

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.

What a wonderful day trip! I booked three days in advance, checked with customer service and was told there were still tickets available for the mini-train, so I immediately placed the order. The driver/guide was super punctual, very humorous, and provided commentary throughout the trip. He drove very smoothly, and I didn't feel carsick at all. The itinerary was also very well planned. Luckily, my fellow travelers in the group were also punctual. We returned to the city around 11 pm. Overall, I highly recommend it!

The whole trip was amazing! The English guide spoke excellent English and patiently explained the penguin habits and the history of the train. The train journey through the sea of flowers was so relaxing, and the little penguins' wobbly walks upon arriving at the penguin colony were so adorable! The itinerary was well-planned and kept us on track. The staff were incredibly attentive and even provided hot drinks. Definitely recommend!

Nathan is a really good guide, he gave the tour the correct energy, not too much and definitely not too less. Good explanation of the history and about the tour while keeping to the time.
