Puffing Billy - Puffing Billy was great and the friendly bus driver who went out of his way to help when I dropped my phone on the bus by picking up my cards as we couldnt reach.

A great tour, our train... - A great tour, our train trip was a little shorter as strong winds had blown down trees and closed some of the track. it was still a great experience and one worth going on. The Chocolatier was a great stop, and the wildlife sanctuary was a treat.

A memorable trip in Melbourne - Puffing Billy was a good experience even though it wasn't a steam train instead we ride on a diesel train from Emerald Lake to Belsgrave. Healesville Sanctuary was alright - not much animals to see probably becos of the erratic Melbourne weather during spring. Yarra Chocolatier was lovely. All in all, a pleasant trip! 😀

Puffing Billy, Sanctuary and Chocolate Trip! - It was most definitely enjoying the ride on the steamed railway and enjoying the sights and scenery as it made its way through the stations. Met Michael our guide, who was clear with his instructions and allowed us slight variations to the tour e.g. stopping in Healesville town or the four pillars gin distillery. There was ample time given at the sanctuary where we got to roam around, and visiting the animals and learning about what they the good people at Healesville do, rescue the animals! Our last stop was at Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery and although 40min seemed like enough time, its very easy to get sucked into the world of chocolate where they seem to have it in every form and flavour! Overall it was a nice day trip, all nicely organised and not rushed at all. Would recommend!
