Overall rating

The children inside us were ecstatic! We have been looking forward to the trip, even the light rain couldn't stop us. The route to Healesville Sanctuary was scenic! We were finally be able to see Aussie's iconic animals, live. After having a little nice break in the Sanctuary's café, we continued the trip to the main agenda: the Puffing Billy! We started at Belgrave station and got off at Lakeside. Eventually, everyone was just a big kid in a steam train. Aside to the scenic views, we also had sunshine, rain, and even hail along the 1 hour journey. And that's Melbourne for you! Lol To our gentle & informative guide, Bill, we DID have much fun! It's just my inner child was too shy to admit it to you. Thank you for your warmth in the middle of Melbourne's chaotic weather 😊

It was amazing. the whole day was filled with new experiences. Our guide, Jim, was an amazing tour guide. He brought us to a few scenic places before penguin parade starts. He gave us information about the places as well which is great. Puffing billy was very, very good. we definitely recommend it to everyone. However, for penguin parade we did have an issue with overcrowding and people not being able to see the parade cause they are sitting in the middle or the back of row. And the worker was pretty rude. Recording is strictly prohibited, which is understandable for the penguin's wellbeing. But just so you know, you cannot have your phone in your hands even, and the worker would ask you to leave even if you're just grabbing onto it.

If yiu can give more time to visit the lakeside it will better worth. But overall it was good journey

Excellent tour with Ms Gena, very informative, caring tour guide. We enjoyed the trip very much.

Fantastic train experience. But not much to do for 4 hours at lakeside stop.
