Phillip Island Penquin and Winery with the Superb Sue tour guide extraordinaire! - We met Sue our friendly tour guide at the easy to find pickup location, from that moment on we had such the best time with her truly local insightful knowledge. Above and beyond service all day long as we visited the locations of our tour with some lovely unexpected extra touches. We highly recommend Local Way Tours for a friendly relaxed way to see some of the buetiful highlights of the area. We won't ever forget this trip!

Highly recommend, great experience - The guides were amazing, super funny and courteous, the winery was the best we’ve been to with the most amazing pizza! the sightseeing was fantastic. everything was organized, they had our tickets ready for the penguin parade and gave us great advice. So much cheaper and more value than booking with the cruise line.

Cruise passengers can trust this company - Cruise passengers can trust this company. We were on a princess cruise ship and booked this tour with these guys, the ship cancelled the port because of the wind, and these guys, Without prompting, gave us our money back.. firstly, we thank the company, and can recommend them to fellow cruisers. Cheers

Phillip Island is well worth the visit - We had a great day with Rod as our Tour Leader, plenty of activities but didn't feel rushed, Beautiful scenery spots on the Island, the farm was a laugh (ask Rod about the goats hahaha) there were not many penguins but the day had so many highlights it didn't matter

Great Scenery…Great Wildlife…Great Wine & Food - Ray took us on a wonderful tour around Phillip Island, starting with a short stop in San Remo. We visited some of the beaches popular with the locals, stopped at overlooks for fantastic views of the rocky shoreline with the surf crashing ashore, visited the Koala Conservation Sanctuary where we saw koalas in the trees near and far; had a lovely wine tasting at the Phillip Island Winery … with enough food to feed an army. A sparkling wine toast at the Nobbies — where we saw wallabies and grey goose wandering all over the reserve lands — and then onto the Penguin Parade … highly recommend upgrading this experience to Penguins Plus. We saw at least a hundred of the Little Penguins rushing ashore, with some stopping in front of us to groom before continuing up to their burrows. Even saw chicks chasing parents, begging to be fed. Ray operates a great tour … and his charming personality adds to the experience.

Tour cancelled - So disappointed - tour was cancelled the day before but I only received an email on the actual morning of the booked tour at 8.30 am. I tried to find another tour but it was impossible to book for the same day so we didn’t see the penguins. I booked and paid in full 6 months in advance and would hope that in future you either stipulate that cancellation may happen or cancel with more notice
