Jools & Gumnut are the best! - I had a fantastic time on the tour with Jools! She was sweet and cheerful, making solo travelers feel included, which I really appreciated as an introvert. The coach had free WiFi, and Jools took us to some stunning secret spots that were simply breathtaking. Highly recommend this tour! Thank you, Jools!

Tour of Brighton beach, wildlife sanctuary, Phillip island. - The tour was fantastic. The tour guide Chris H was outstanding for his in-depth knowledge of the geography and wildlife.
He was so interesting to listen to, entertaining and passionate about everything.
Feeding the wallabies was wonderful.
The little Penguins coming ashore at dusk incredible.
He answered questions.
It was an absolute pleasure to do the tour and Chris we give 10/10.
We will definitely be back to experience more of Australia and utilise the this tour company.
Many thanks from the O’Hallorans.
