Puffing Billy not much scenery but if you love steam trains this is for you. Healvesville sanctuary was good. Can get to see almost all wildlife that is in existence in Australia. The gourmet chocolates at the chocolatier were delicious and value for money/

Tour guide Marty was so friendly and was very respectful. He even helped up brought down our stroller so that my little one can sit after the train ride. The journey was a breeze and very relaxing. The itinerary was just nice. We had ample time to explore the places and it was not rushing at all. Thumbs up for the tour company as well for having this affordable tour!! Great job

We took a day tour with Wine Hop & Coastal Tours to the Puffing Billy and Healesville Sanctuary yesterday. Gavin was our guide and took good care of us - providing clear instructions, sharing fun facts and travel tips about Melbourne. It was an enjoyable day out 😊

Jessie_K

The bird show at Healesville Sanctuary is awesome and the Puffing Billy train ride is such a fun experience. Couple that with our guide Gavin's wicked sense of humour, this has truly been an amazing day!

Bethany - sorry, Gavin - is a phenomenonal tour guide, and entertained us on our bus ride to the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie, then to Healsville Sanctuary and on to Emerald Lake to ride Puffing Billy. He was excellent and made sure nobody got left behind. It was a wonderful day out.

Puffing Billy and a quick visit to the chocolate factory was great. Aside from that, it is kinda an average experience. Paying almost $200 just for the puffing billy and the sanctuary is not worth it. But the tour guide was really nice, funny, and knowledgeable. All in all I still enjoyed the experience.

The Puffing Billy was great and very different to be able to sit on the window sill made it all the more delightful. Healesville Sanctuary was a great experience and the bird show was great. Claire (the driver) was very pleasant and the commentary was great.

Day tour paced well for time. Beautiful countryside. Taffy a personable young man and a competent driver. Pleasant day indeed. Thank you.

Dianna_K

Lovely day out, nice scenery, guide was friendly and patient with everybody. Puffing Billy was awesome. Would have liked more commentary, but I understand that half the guests slept on the bus, so that may be why, and would have liked more time at lakeside to enjoy the facilities there, and even though the Sanctuary was beautiful, maybe a little less time there. Otherwise a lovely day. Thank you
