Amazing tour - The train ride was amazing. We bought pretty chocolates from the chocolate factory. Finally we saw a moving koala bear in the sanctuary. Our guide Emily was very experienced tour guide and very skilled in what she does. We enjoyed this tour very much.

It was a memorable... - It was a memorable experience. 9:30am start was good for our family to be ready in time but we found that the entire trip was very rushed and would be happy to start earlier to allow more time for lunch and leisure walk to the lake, halesville sanctuary and chocolate factory. The bus ride was bumpy and driver could slow down a little. Can consider installing curtains on the bus windows as it was very sunny in the way back. We appreciated tour guide’s cheery attitude and enthusiasm.

Overall nice trip - It was a great experience to see the country side of Melbourne. The train ride was entertaining and I loved seeing kaolas at the sanctuary. Only complaint is that the tour guide could have provided a discount coupon at the chocolate shop. Didn’t really see the point of stopping when we had to purchase everything on our own.

Disregard for all participants & attempted scam. Beware. - On the day of the tour, their bus had an issue and cancelled our tour because of that. Instead of giving a fair chance to everyone involved as there were not enough seats in the second bus for everyone, the driver/guide (don’t remember his name, but a young blonde guy) simply chose people based on a first come first served rule, as if that’s any fairness at all when of course everyone wants to get on that second bus. It’s as if the most aggressive and rudest people win, when the calm and collected ones get hurt just because they didn’t scream “ME!!!” first. Absolute disregard for a fair choice of participants for the second bus, such as an obvious thing like a simple raffle on the spot. Ruined my day and then we did not get contacted on the day as promised to get a refund so I’d say they also attempted to scam us by not giving us a refund had we not contacted them further. Worst company in Australia. Do not book anything with these guys.
