Fred was quite a lovely guide that I have ever met. He was patient to give detailed introduction about every corner we past in Melbourne. I could feel his enthusiasm to his career. During the trip, he told us a lot of interesting stories in his life, which made me laugh and moved a lot. I quite recommend all of you guys who would like to go to Philip island to see the little penguins with Fred or his colleagues. I promise it will be one of the most meaningful and memorable experience in your life.

We had such a great time on this Phillip Island tour! Frank was a wonderful tour guide - we learned so much and were also free to explore on our own. We had a small group and got to see all the animals. Frank even gave us insider tips about the penguins! You can tell he really cares about the island, the animals, and the guests. 5/5 would definitely do this tour again! Worth every penny.

We had a wonderful day with Fred. Although it was raining and a bit cold, we saw many exotic Australian animals and the highlight was the penguin parade in Philippe Island. Such cuite creatures. Thanks Fred

Our native Australian animals never disappoint – especially those beautiful little penguins who perform for their audience every single night. We are proud to have been able to show these phenomenal occurrences to you and we look forward to seeing you again when you are next in Melbourne.

The tour guide Alf was amazing throughout the tour. The best part was seeing the penguin parade which also had the longest time dedicated to it. It was a wonderful experience as a whole.

Overall this is a pretty great tour - the penguins are well worth the visit (and as everyone suggests get the upgrade seating but not the “elite” upgrade). There are several stops, one with a bit of a “zoo” type reserve where you can get up close to devils and koalas etc - this was worth visiting but our guide was on his own schedule so the stopovers were pretty short and everyone felt quite rushed to get back on the bus ( although he kind of disappeared during the stopovers until leaving time). Don’t want to be too harsh on our guide, as he said he had just transitioned to this job, but he had to use gps and still got a little lost; he was accommodating to drop us off at our hotel on the way home but went to the wrong hotel. He had a pretty steady narrative but was a lot of random facts; he shared a lot of “opinions” about Australian culture, history and current social issues that some folks might find off putting - was a bit surprised at this being in the customer service industry. But overall a very good tour, bus seats were ok but not stellar, nice size with about 8-10 people.

It was a fantastic experience with our tour leader Fred. From the very first moment Fred was very welcoming and through the whole trip he had lots of fun and energy with a nice voice of a singer. He had a lot of information and experience in this trip and informed us about all interesting points and details in each stop. Before getting to our first stop he shared a lot of interesting stories about the city areas we were passing. We had a quick stop in the Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park. Then we went to the Philip Island and we visited the little cute penguins which was very interesting. Fred tips helped us to get the most out of visiting Philip Island and have a unique experience in watching penguin parades. On the way back home he showed interesting locations in the city which I consider as a complimentary brief city tour on top of our Phillip Island tour.
