5 star Guide

Published on Feb, 2025

We spent the whole day with Andy traveling to see the penguins at Philip Island. Andy was warm and knowledgeable from the moment he picked us up. He Loves Melbourne and being a tour guide. His Mercedes van was clean and spacious. Even before he picked us up he suggested purchasing premium tickets at the penguin parade. That one piece of information was huge as the seats made all the difference Additionally, we saw lots of koalas , kangaroos and wallabys. We use guides whenever we travel and Andy was as good as they come

Phillip Island Penguin parade.

Published on Dec, 2024

Amazing! These Little Fairy Penguin's come ashore every evening at sunset, like clockwork, they slowly appear out of the water in small groups and waddle up the beach past the hundreds of people sitting on the tiered seating areas, to return to their nests in the undergrowth to either feed their chicks or relieve their partners, if they are brooding. Incredible! The raised walkways allow you to see these smallest breed of penguins (only 30cm tall) up close. So cute!

Highly recommended - excellent tour guide! Memorable day trips to Philip Island and Great Ocean Road

Published on Jan, 2020

We did the Philip Island and Great Ocean Road private tours with Andrew on 2 separate days and had a very enjoyable time! Andrew took excellent care of us, especially my parents-in-law who spoke only Mandarin - his Mandarin was fluent and he answered all our questions about wildlife, the Little Penguins, Great Ocean Road etc in great detail. He has deep knowledge of the history, culture and basically everything about Melbourne. He also gave us lots of food recommendations for the rest of our days in Melbourne. He’s the only tour guide we have liked so much that we are writing a review for him immediately after our tours. He’s that wonderful and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for private tours in Melbourne! He does a variety of tours and is always so responsive over Whatsapp and WeChat - just drop him a message directly and he will reply you within a few hours! Thank you Andrew for making our holiday so memorable! My parents-in-law are already saying they miss you and hope to see you again the next time we visit Melbourne! 安佐是个非常棒的导游!他的华文流利,如果需要中文导游,一定要找他!我的岳父岳母很享受他的一日游,我们都觉得他既友善又幽默,而且具有丰富的知识和经验。谢谢你,安佐,下次一定再来找你玩!

St. Phillip Island & Penguin Parade

Published on Jan, 2020

Andrew made sure our tour was personalized, memorable, comfortable and fun. We were a group of 8 including my 90 year old grandma who can only speak Chinese. He prepared by changing his car beforehand because his normal ride could only accommodate 7 people. He would also switch speaking from English to Chinese to talk with grandma. And, even went out of his way to show us the Brighton Beach Boxes, which wasn't on the original itinerary of St. Phillip Island. Food recommendations were also given, even on days we weren't on tour with him. We really appreciated his genuine helpfulness and desire to have others have a good experience. Would definitely recommend him for others as well.
