Reviews: Akaroa: Swimming with Wild Dolphins Experience
Guest User2025-12-31
I really loved the activity. We were lucky enough to have 2 great swims with the dolphins even though the swells were quite rough. We even saw penguins and seals. Grace and William were fantastic guides. Keen to receive the photographs they were taking of the swims.★

Reviews: Sydney Blue Mountains Day Tour | Mercedes-Benz small group&Comfortable medium group/3 Types of Cable Cars/Lincoln's Rock
Guest User2026-01-13
This day trip to the Blue Mountains in Sydney was the most satisfying of all my day trips in Australia. The Mercedes minibus was new, with comfortable seats and ample legroom. Our driver/guide, Mr. Guo, was very responsible, explaining each part of the itinerary in detail and planning the time very well. It was a very hot day, and the bottled water on the bus was unlimited. Extremely satisfied!★

Reviews: [Special Price from the 14th to the 20th] Melbourne Puffing Billy Steam Train + Phillip Island Day Trip
Guest User2026-01-07
The little train wasn't too crowded. Having done my research beforehand, I sat on the side with the best view of the iconic arch of the bridge, which was great. The staff were all very friendly.
The scenery at Cape Nobis was truly stunning. Even though it was cloudy, the view created a wonderful atmosphere.
Our driver, Mr. Wu, was very responsible 😊 and the other members of our group were also great; everyone was punctual.
It got quite chilly on Phillip Island at night; even in my light down jacket, I was still shivering.
🌟Special praise to the online customer service! They responded quickly and resolved issues promptly, which was very reassuring.★
