David Hsu was an absolute joy the whole day. He's the kind of person you want to sit around a fire with to listen to his stories. I lived how he translates stories in English, Mandarin and Cantonese so that everyone in the mini bus could understand. He also went above and betond to take photos and videos for everyone, and it was clear he had a lot of photography experience. The tour itself was fun, but made better because of his warmth and energy. I loved the story about Captain Cook and learning about uow his house was taken apart brick by brick and transported to Melbourne. David also helped us understand the history of the Myki card, the Trams and other Australian trust-based systems. The Bully puffer train was my favourite part of this tour. I especially loved how the locals all stopped to wave as we went past. It seems like such a happy place as a result. It was a great day :)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **An Unforgettable Experience!** From the moment we were picked up until we were safely dropped off, everything was absolutely perfect. The entire trip was exceptionally well organised, smooth, and enjoyable from start to finish. A special mention must go to our driver and guide, who truly made this tour outstanding. His knowledge, professionalism, and passion for sharing information were remarkable. Throughout the journey, he provided insightful explanations about the places we visited, shared fascinating stories and local history, and ensured that every traveller felt informed, comfortable, and engaged. What impressed me most was his genuine dedication to the group. He patiently answered questions, offered helpful guidance, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a memorable experience. His friendly attitude and expertise transformed a great tour into an extraordinary one. Every aspect of the trip exceeded expectations, and it is clear that a lot of care and effort goes into creating such a seamless experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a well-organised, informative, and enjoyable adventure. Thank you to the entire team for creating such wonderful memories. This was truly one of the best travel experiences I have ever had, and I look forward to travelling with you again in the future.

10/10 absolutely! Timing was well planned. The start with the Puffing Billy kicked-off the day and the Penguin Parade was a perfect end for the tour. Our guide and chauffer was a true customer care-taker. In addition, his insights about Australian history and present were very intresting.
