Just the trip we needed to beat the jetlag having only arrived in Melbourne the night before. Packed in so much more than expected including St Kilda’s Beach and the Brighton bath boxes before heading to Phillip Island. Undoubted highlight of the tour was the little penguin parade, but also loved the swamp wallabies. Mark was a fount of knowledge re Melbourne/Aussie life and very easy company for the 10 hours of this trip. It worked very well for the wide age range of our group - 18 to 81. Would thoroughly recommend.

We did TWO tours with Mark, this one and also the 1/2 day tour of Melbourne. Mark is the BEST tour guide that I had in Melbourne and in Australia (we had 5 different private tour guides between Sydney, Melbourne, Hamilton Island, Tasmania and Bruny Island). Mark loves what he does and excels at it. He is very knowledgable and extremely flexible and accommodating. He knows his stuff really well and adapts to changes in weather, traffic, etc. He has a great SENSE of HUMOR and he is just VERY NICE. He got us FIRST in line for the private experience with the Koala at the Moonlit Reserve (we could had waited 40 minutes in line if it was not for him). EVERYONE knows him when we got to any place, and he got the royal treatment for us. The tours and his explanations were excellent. I wish I could find a "Mark" at any city that I visit. !!!!!!

Mark take care of my family very well throughout the whole trip (we are traveling with a 3 yo child and 2 elderly). He cater to our request and is flexible with the plan. We also managed to catch the best seats at the front of the viewing deck to see the penguins returning back to their burrows.

I contacted Mark in regards to arranging a tour of Melbourne and Phillip Island in late April 2022. Although he was going to be out of town on our tour date, he outlined an itinerary and located another tour operator for our party. Prompt, informative and helpful. Superb! Thanks Mark
