We were impressed with our friendly tour guide and driver. Raffie made us feel comfortable as a group of like adventurers no matter where we originated from. We were like a band of close friends when we departed at the end of the experience. We had been celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with a week in Melbourne and your tour was something we will remember with a smile, the train trip with arms and legs hanging out the carriages and the tiny penguin's antics were fabulous,. Again thank you for the day. Bob and Marilyn

What an amazing experience riding the Puffing Billy and seeing the Fairy Penguins return from hunting. The way they greet their partners on return should be experienced at least once in a lifetime. It is something that cannot be put into words. The Tour Company, Wine Hop and Scenic Tours were the perfect choice. Marty, our Tour Guide made the day extra special and fun. A big thank you to him and the team for looking after us and pointing us in the right direction for the best viewing areas at Phillip Island, the amazing food choices and the video of our train ride. My Sister and I are so impressed with this experience, next trip to Melbourne we will be seeking Wine Hop and Scenic Tours out for the Great Ocean Road tour. Thanks again Marty for a fantastic experience with the Company.
