EXCELLENT Based on 167 reviews Posted on Tanya O'Connor31 January 2026 We had such a fantastic day in the Yarra Valley with Adam as our host! The day was curated perfectly and everything went off without a hitch. We really enjoyed each winery and felt properly looked after for the day. Would highly recommend.Posted on allison spaccasi25 January 2026 Nothing but positive things to say about our experience with this company. Great communication with Adam right from the get-go via phone, email and What’s App. Adam was also our tour guide for the day trip to Phillip Island and provided information on a wide range of topics - everything from cultural tips to facts about the habits of the various animals we saw. He’s also got a great sense of humor and was enjoyable company for the 4 of us for the day! Pick up was prompt and he tailored the trip to our needs along the way. Highly recommend.Posted on Stacy Gray9 January 2026 What a great day out with Adam from Australian Journeys! Comfortable van for the trip and very knowledgeable about the areas we visited! We customized a trip with him to take us from Melbourne to Moonlight Wildlife Sanctuary, Nobbies and Phillips Island and the Brighton Boxes! He even picked the best stop for a traditional Aussie fish and chips! Can’t say enough how much we enjoyed our day out with him and I highly recommend his company!Posted on Debora Fernandes4 January 2026 Wonderful day with a group including elderly parents and a small child. Helped all to feel included and have a great day out on the wineries. Adam was so great with fun facts and wonderful personality. Don’t think twice- go!Posted on Tiago Oliveira4 January 2026 Great company! We had a great tour.Posted on Gareth Talty17 December 2025 Highly recommend Adam at Australian Journeys. He looked after us all day, took excellent photographs for us, ensured we had a comfy seat on our Penguin spotting adventure, and was very knowledgeable about the area and it's wildlife. Thanks Adam!Posted on Kate Talty17 December 2025 Great day with Adam seeing Puffing Billy and Philip Island. Highly highly recommend for a really wonderful day out. 10/10 😀👍Posted on Kara Calhoun26 November 2025 We couldn’t be happier with our Penguins Express tour to Phillip Island with Adam at Australian Journeys. We had limited time in Melbourne, so this tour fit our schedule perfectly. Adam was incredibly communicative and knowledgeable about the area. He put in many personal touches to make our evening special. He helped us secure Penguin Plus seating space when it appeared to be all sold out online. The penguins are a ‘must see’ for any family trip, but why spend all day on a large coach bus with strangers when you can enjoy your day in Melbourne and still see this amazing sight in the evening? I highly recommend booking with Australian Journeys!Posted on Kristy C24 November 2025 We had a great experience with Australian Journeys! Adam was friendly, knowledgeable and considerate of what our family may need by giving options throughout the day. We ended up doing two half day tours with him (Puffing Billy and Penguin Parade) and both were fantastic. While you can book a tour to do all in one day, we actually loved breaking this out and felt our younger kids had a better experience since it wasn’t one long day. While the private tour cost a little more, it was well worth it to have a 1:1 guide, private car instead of bus, and to have some flexibility in the schedule. We highly recommend using this company!Posted on AinNF ARahman18 November 2025 I have taken the private tour with Australian Journey last week and it was definitely a great experience ! Me and my family was overjoyed throughout the whole journey. Adam was amazing with us ! He shares a lot with us and I love that the tour was flexible enough to include feeding the kangaroo and meet the koala at Maru Koala and Animal Park. The Nobbies boardwalk was spectacular and yes, you can actually go for Puffing Billy tour and Penguin sighting on the same day with them. They will help to plan and organise everything and I would say the package was reasonable for all five of us as a family. If I come back I know already who to look for. 😊
