Wonderful Combination Tour! - Alisha and Chris were lovely tour guides. Was a really nice daytrip. The train ride was unique and the redwoods have a magical atmosphere. Later on you can enjoy a tastefull variety of wines or try an italian cannoli (which was delicious btw.) all in all worth the time, we enjoyed it a lot :)

Excellent tour with amazing guide Robbo - We had a fantastic day exploring Puffing Billy, the Redwood Forest, and the Yarra Valley.
Robbo was an excellent guide — professional, friendly. He made sure everyone was having a good time throughout the day. He’s knowledgeable and shared so many interesting historical details about Australia, all while keeping the group laughing with his jokes.
My 5‑year‑old son absolutely loved this tour.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and Robbo made it even better.

Puffing Billy - I used it for a family trip with children. This is an approximately half-day tour that includes transfers to and from the hotel.
I was a little worried about the English tour, but my guide Aleks was kind and cheerful and spoke in easy-to-listen English, so I think all the tour participants had a good half day. I would be happy to join the tour with her guide if I had the chance again. Thank you very much.

Lovely tour, great tour guide - Great tour, very informative tour guide- Robbo who was definately a 5 star ⭐
Only reason for the 4 star is we weren’t really very impressed with the Rochford Winery experience. The Puffing billy was great fun and the little town Warburton where you stop for lunch is fantastic and has a lovely bakery. The Forests are stunning. Thank u Robbo
