Adam was very considerate and helped us so much with everything. I would highly recommend him to any group of family or friends. He even helped us took a video while we were on puffing Billy train ride. He planed everything precisely and perfectly. We were a family of 7. We really had a great afternoon for both puffing Billy and chocolatories yarra valley

We had a fantastic experience with Australian Journeys on our Phillip Island tour. Our guide was incredibly friendly, helpful, and informative throughout the day, and made the entire trip feel relaxed and enjoyable. He shared plenty of interesting insights, looked after everyone very well, and was always happy to answer our questions. Marsya and I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend Australian Journeys to anyone looking for a well-organised and memorable tour of Phillip Island. Thank you for making our trip so special!
