We had James who was extremely knowledgeable, full of information and gave us a good laugh. It was such a nice day & really enjoyed every moment. Didn't once feel rushed on the tour, felt like there was plenty of time at each spot and really got to know all about Melbourne, Penguins and the good that the sanctuary does. Highly recommend
