Friendly Taiwanese Reviews - Great, Jacque's guide was very enthusiastic and appreciated, the explanation was also very detailed, meeting wild animals would also stop for us to shoot, and driving was also fast and stable.

Review for Go West Tours Full-day Melbourne City Sightseeing with Penguin Parade - Review for Go West Tours Full-day Melbourne City Sightseeing with Penguin Parade Guide:*Mark K Travelers: Family with 2 elderly and 1 toddler Highlights: Our experience with Go West Tours on the full-day Melbourne City Sightseeing with Penguin Parade was exceptional. The guide, Mark K, was incredibly knowledgeable and provided practical tips to help us enjoy the tour. He was particularly understanding of our elderly parents, who have poor mobility, and never rushed us, allowing us to fully enjoy our vacation. The city tour had something for everyone. Whether you're interested in the history of Australia, a sports enthusiast, or simply looking to explore Melbourne, this tour offers a comprehensive experience for all. A major highlight was the Penguin Parade, where we had the delightful opportunity to witness these charming creatures in their natural habitat. Areas for Improvement: One area that could use improvement is the coordination and preparation of guests ahead of time. It would be helpful if the tour company could provide more detailed information on what to bring and how to get to the pick-up point. Offering options such as taking the free tram or using Uber would be beneficial. Our local guide who booked all our tours informed us it was only a 9-minute walk, but it ended up taking us 30 minutes to reach the pick-up point. Overall, the tour was fantastic, and we highly recommend it for families and travelers of all ages. Just be sure to clarify the pick-up point details in advance to avoid any inconvenience.

Red keeps it fun all day! - GoWest does a great job in all ways, but I think it shines with it's hiring and/or training of it's tour guides. "Red" was going to keep it fun and interesting even if we didn't see one penguin. That being said we had a great evening of penguin watching and Red always had the inside scoop on where to sit and the strategy on when to move, etc. It's a long day, but it was a lot of fun.

Absolutely book this tour! - Wow! This trip was amazing. We had Red as our tour guide for the full day and he really made it a memorable experience. I was nervous about how long the trip was, but it was definitely worth it. Red made even the bus ride fun and entertaining!

Penguins and animal sanctuary day - Lucy gave great commentary throughout the day, great tips for local spots to visit and even gave her jacket to a passenger for the penguin parade. Only negative was that seating on the bus was tight which gets quite uncomfortable with long legs
