The puffing billy train was an amazing experience. Everything went as planned, smooth, hassle free, one click planned the whole day trip, time saving and the guide was helpful, no issues.
Half the your was cancelled without notice and the guide could not control the situation well. There is no information about refund or compensation when the for company did not do their due diligence on incumbent weather that could affect the running schedule of the train. Although the tour guide said the train was cancelled only in the morning after the tour started, when we checked with the train site it was always known that the train will be cancelled on hot days due to fire hazards. The tour guide provided no guide, he was too busy having his own personal chats with one of the female customers about his life and interests, the bus was old and aircon was poor. I expect the tour company to contact us about refunding our tickets but no contact was made and they've just profited from our horrible experience.
I am very glad that I traveled with a group this time, it would have been very difficult to do this trip alone and impossible to do all the items in one day. Their schedule was very reasonable. The tour guide driver, JHONE, was funny and warm and a lovely person!
A great day out with Derrick as our guide. Very informative about the area. The train ride was excellent. Healesville Santuary was fantastic even with the showers of rain we had. Finished the day with a massive icecream at the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie. Thank you so much.
