Excellent experience on the penguin peninsula! - We had an excellent day with Clare. She stepped in last minute when Mark was sick and we totally lucked out. She is warm, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. She was attentive to our needs and flexible, even making a slight detour to look at the fancy cars when our teenage son noticed a racetrack down a side road on the way to see the penguins. We were a little worried about a 10 hour tour, but it went by quickly because we were in such good company and so well looked after. When we went to the penguin viewing area at dusk, Clare gave us cushions and blankets and told us the best places to sit for the best view. On our way back to Melbourne, she took us to a local spot for the freshest fish and chips ever! Highly recommend Mark’s company and Clare as a guide.

Little penguins and so much more - 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.

BEST MELBOURNE LOCAL TOUR GUIDE - 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. !!!!!!

Wonderful 2 days tour with superior service. - 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.

Best tour guide in Melbourne! - No regrets choosing and paying for this private tour! Mark shared so much knowledge & history of Melbourne. Mark also brought us to the best spots in all the different activity. Best & most entertaining tour guide! 👍🏻 If anyone is choosing Mark for your tour guide, you are very taken care of, trust me. Look at Mark carrying all the rain coat, blankets and seat cover, so that out butt don’t get wet during the penguin tour.

Top Shelf! - 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
