5.00Loved the trip! I had such a good time and our guide Mike was fantastic. He provided us with the best guide of the places and was so kind and friendly throughout the whole journey. Being a solo traveler, I was able to visit all the places that I wanted to, which most of the tours did not offer. This was the only one with the compact version of the tours merged in one, and I am so glad I joined the tour. Definitely worth the time and the money. Thanks again to our tour guide Mike.

5.00We had a fantastic day exploring Puffing Billy, the Redwood Forest, and the Yarra Valley. Robbo was an excellent guide — professional, friendly. He made sure everyone was having a good time throughout the day. He’s knowledgeable and shared so many interesting historical details about Australia, all while keeping the group laughing with his jokes. My 5‑year‑old son absolutely loved this tour. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and Robbo made it even better.
