Tour guide was absolutely wonderful, we got to do everything on the list that we were supposed to do in a timely manner. Plus the guide even took us to an extra stop that was not included in the tour as an added bonus. Tour guide stayed with us all the time and pointed out things we would not have noticed or had time to see, he was amazing. This tour was the best animal sanctuary tour that I have ever been on, and I recommend you to be sure and go on it.
Excellent tour with a lifetime local resident as our guide. I felt like we went places that tourists don't usually go, like on a dirt road to a mountain park where I climbed the fire tower, a bakery that had all kinds of meat pies for our lunch, and a spin around the raceway and Olympic park. Healesville Sanctuary has a great selection of animals in close to natural habitat. A full day and the guide was very good about showing us as much as possible and still making it back with plenty of time to get on the ship.
It was a fun day the scenery was beautiful, Melbourne is beautiful. The bus, however, was not comfortable and we could hardly hear anything the bus driver said. That was unfortunate since we spent so much time driving.
Only four of us in the group. Great guide and well picked places to see.
