Go West is the tour company to go with in Melbourne!!! - Go West is the tour company to go with in Melbourne!!! Excellent customer service from communicating in a timely fashion and letting us know of unforeseen delays. Our guide, Lucy, is by far, one of the best guides I’ve ever travelled with. She is extremely positive, knowledgeable and a joy to be with! Her enthusiasm for the wildlife we encountered is so infectious. She made sure that everyone on the tour felt important and cared for. Thanks so much Lucy & Go West for a wonderful experience to Phillip Island!!! 👍👏

True Australian wild life experience! - I enjoyed the tour so much. We went for the brighton beach first, then to the moonlight sanctuary. So happy to see koalas, kangoroos, wallabies, dingoes, and other amazing Australian wildlife. The weather was rainy and very windy, but we enjoyed the nobbies a lot too. The most awaited time is the penguin parade! Gosh love to see them waddling through on their way back home!
Our tour guide is Michael, and he's been amazing from the start. He is very informative, funny, and accomodating. We faced some road closure during pick up and was 2 mins late because we need some time reaching the meeting point, but Michael was kind enough to wait for us. He also made sure everyone was counted for before we move to other destination. Thank you for making this trip memorable for us.

A Tour Well Worth It - The tour was well paced and the specific stops - Brighton Beach Boxes, Moonlit Sanctuary, Nobbies and Penguin Parade - were well selected. The drive itself is an attraction and try to keep awake throughout. But one factor beyond anybody's control is the rain. My suggestion is that the weather forecast be looked at so that if it is within the non-cancellation deadline, and an alternative rain free date is available, go for it. Our guide, Noah is one of the rare breed who emphatically ticks positively all the important boxes. Affable, informative, helpful, accommodative, clear communication skills, safe driving, and yes, a budding musical talent. Ask him to belt out his rendition of 'I Am Australian', guitar included!

Amazing Philip Island Tour - Thank you Go West for this great experience in Melbourne. The tour guide Sherif is professional, caring and passionate. He is humorous and provided useful information about Philip Island and Australian wildlife. Comfortable coach that we could rest during the long trip. Convenient as point to point transfer between different sites. The most amazing part was the penguin parade on Philip Island. Extremely happy and touching to meet those tiny lovely creatures. Will surely join Go West tour next time when we travel to Australia

Everything went great. - The tour overall was a great experience. Everything promised was accomplished and seen. The guide was very talkative and friendly.
I just wish the bus was not so cramped. I’m tall and had absolutely no leg room.

Fun and easy way to encounter Australian wildlife - I got to meet all the wildlife that I've always associate with Australia. The Moonlit sanctuary was a perfect family friendly environment for encounters with emus, wombats, dingos, owls, kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, etc. To cap it all off, we ended the evening at Philip Island and watched the famous penguin parade. My high expectations were met by my tour guide, Sherif, who was both funny and knowledgeable.
