4.0Your experience was incredibly easy. Safe driver. Interesting experience. Pro tip-sit on the right side of the Puffin Billy. Significantly better views in my opinion.

5.0It was one of the experiences that makes you remember and feel that inner child. One word of advice for the steam train- do not wear white. Our tour guide, Gina, did a fantastic job of not only taking us from place to place but also accommodating music tastes and educating in continent history (which i liked a lot!). 5 stars from me
A beautiful day well spent

5.0Our tour guide Billy was great, very knowledgeable and added a bit of insight for our trip. The animal sanctuary was fantastic and we were lucky to see plenty of the animals and had a good amount of time there. The puffing Billy was a great experience where we saw some wildlife as an added bonus on our journey, this part of the tour was slightly marred by people using selfie sticks and having a lack of regard for other people. We stopped at a little nature reserve on the way back for snacks and that was enjoyable too, they had a nice little cafe/shop and watching the cockatoos was fascinating. All in all, I would thoroughly recommend this trip.
The tour enjoyed me more than price.
