Penguin Parade Tour - I joined the tour with my family and we truly enjoyed it. Jacqui is an excellent tour guide. She is very friendly and a great photographer to help our family taking many nice pictures during the day. She also knows all the local and interesting spots. If you come to Melbourne for holiday, I highly recommend “Go West Tours”.

Fabulous!!!! - Jacqui is amazing!! So cheerful, enthusiastic and full of joy!! She went out of the way to be im a festive spirit with her xmas gear. She took the effort to know each of us with our names and where we came from. She checked in on us throughout the day! She gave us a lot of tips to make the day more memorable. She did all this with very little expectation from us.. becoz we weren’t the most enthusiastic bunch…😆. but that did not dampen her enthusiasm!! She is our aussie cameron diaz look a like energizer penguin!!! oí oí oí

Great Tour Guide - Great day! The morning city tour of Melbourne was informative and well-paced. In the afternoon, the drive to Phillip Island was long (two hours), but worth it for the great coastal scenery views. While the penguins were memorable, I was just as enthralled by the scenic viewpoints and bird-life that we saw before visiting the penguin center. The highlight of the tour was our guide, Chris H. From start to finish, he was enthusiastic, informative, and a master of logistics. He sustained the energy through a very long day (the tour is nearly 14 hours start to finish). A few pointers: Because the tour ends at Midnight (in Australian summer months) you may want to avoid booking an early morning activity the next day. If you've already done the great ocean road tour, the coastal scenery may be a bit similar, in which case you could consider only doing the city tour portion unless you really want to see the penguins. Thanks again Chris!

Amazing Tour with Alisha to Philip Island - Alisha as our Melbourne CBD to Philip Island Tour guide was outstanding and so attentive. She was very knowledgeable with interesting facts about the local wildlife and knew the best spots to see the penguins and scenic views in Philip island. She was very accomodating and kind and really made a huge difference in our touring experience. Thank you Alisha!
