- Phillip Island Nature Parks - Koala Reserve - Walk with us high up in the treetop canopy to observe native (and often sleepy) koalas in their natural habitat. In this tranquil area, you can get a close-up view of them in their daily routine, which isn’t much. It’s a delightful experience.
- Cowes Beach - If the season allows, we’ll head to the main town of Cowes for dinner either before or after the Penguin Parade, making the return to Melbourne more enjoyable and relaxing despite the late hour.
- The Nobbies Centre - This naturally scenic area is absolutely stunning. We’ll walk along the boardwalk together to take in the views of the surrounding bay and strait, and try to spot penguin chicks in their natural and man-made burrows.
- Phillip Island Nature Parks - Penguin Parade - The day’s most famous nature show features the world’s smallest penguins. You’ll be captivated by this breathtaking nightly event, even if you’ve seen it before!

Highly recommended - excellent tour guide! Memorable day trips to Philip Island and Great Ocean Road - We did the Philip Island and Great Ocean Road private tours with Andrew on 2 separate days and had a very enjoyable time! Andrew took excellent care of us, especially my parents-in-law who spoke only Mandarin - his Mandarin was fluent and he answered all our questions about wildlife, the Little Penguins, Great Ocean Road etc in great detail. He has deep knowledge of the history, culture and basically everything about Melbourne. He also gave us lots of food recommendations for the rest of our days in Melbourne. He’s the only tour guide we have liked so much that we are writing a review for him immediately after our tours. He’s that wonderful and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for private tours in Melbourne! He does a variety of tours and is always so responsive over Whatsapp and WeChat - just drop him a message directly and he will reply you within a few hours! Thank you Andrew for making our holiday so memorable! My parents-in-law are already saying they miss you and hope to see you again the next time we visit Melbourne!
安佐是个非常棒的导游！他的华文流利，如果需要中文导游，一定要找他！我的岳父岳母很享受他的一日游，我们都觉得他既友善又幽默，而且具有丰富的知识和经验。谢谢你，安佐，下次一定再来找你玩！

St. Phillip Island & Penguin Parade - Andrew made sure our tour was personalized, memorable, comfortable and fun.
We were a group of 8 including my 90 year old grandma who can only speak Chinese. He prepared by changing his car beforehand because his normal ride could only accommodate 7 people. He would also switch speaking from English to Chinese to talk with grandma. And, even went out of his way to show us the Brighton Beach Boxes, which wasn't on the original itinerary of St. Phillip Island.
Food recommendations were also given, even on days we weren't on tour with him.
We really appreciated his genuine helpfulness and desire to have others have a good experience. Would definitely recommend him for others as well.

2 day tour: Great Ocean Road & Phillip island - Andrew was such an amazing tour guide. Not only was he incredibly informative, but he was upbeat and entertaining throughout the 2 days. We saw incredible coast lines and wildlife that we will never forget. Thank you Andrew!

Amazing, fabulous experience! - Andrew is a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide who knows Melbourne and surrounding areas well. His private tours are highly professional; in fact, he was able to show us as many secret places as he could, and with his informational explanations and elaboration, I learnt a lot about Melbourne and Australia. I truly recommend Andrew to anyone who will be visiting Melbourne.
