From the start in Melbourne driving around the formula 1 track through an evening with the little penguins on Phillip island, Errol made this a beautiful experience that exceeded high expectations. His choice of the Moonlit sanctuary as a place we can get in touch with Aussie wildlife was spot on. He took us on a number of side trips to see the views from all sides of Phillip Island and enjoy animals such as wallabies, birds and even an echidna in their natural setting. And he gave us great guidance to get the most out of the penguin experience at the end of the day!

Errol, by all means, is the best guide we've ever met. Ready to take the extra mile to adjust the itinerary if need be, considerate, knowledgeable. We found out a lot about Melbourne, penguins and wallabies. We were on the same wavelength all the time. I am running out of words to express our gratitude. Errol is the best!

Errol is wonderful and experienced tour guide. He filled our time with history, stories and multiple points of interest. He was also very flexible and adjusted our itinerary to our tastes (if you are a car aficionado he has great hidden gems). The Phillip Island penguin parade is a must and our entire visit was stress-free and a real highlight of the trip. We highly recommend Errol to any travelers heading down under.

Our family of 3 had a great winter's day tour with Errol. Enjoyed sightseeing around some city highlights (which Errol tailored to our family interests) then headed down to Phillip Island for the Penguin Parade. Errol has great local knowledge, was flexible with our various requirements throughout the day and certainly kept the interest up with fun facts, conversation and a visit to an unexpected hidden gem! We have no hesitation in recommending touring with Errol for Melbourne city and beyond.
