Henry gave us a great tour of Phillip Island, aided by some beautiful weather (thanks melbourne). He was a very knowledgeable guide and just a great guy to have to spend the tour with. We had a close family friend who warned us from doing a trip down to Phillip Island. They hated it. But the more I read up on the island, the more I realised that most other people that had visited the island, overwhelmingly had a positive experience. But now I understand why my friend hated it. They took a bus tour and when we compared notes on our tour, they described the places they stopped. Well they only visited 3 stops. We visited about 10 different locations and half of them were definitely not on the tourist map as we were the only ones there. But to be honest, these were my favourite stops. They were well away from the tourist buses and in fact probably not accessible to the buses as we went down some narrow roads. But the wildlife there was out of this world. So look, if you are going to to Phillip island at all, find out where you will be taken. How much value for money are you getting. Are the tickets included. Is there an advantage to taking a private tour. How well does your group mix with other people you have never met. Do you want to go and your own pace or happy to go at the pace set by the rest of the group. Do you want to be picked up from your hotel doorstep or are you happy to jump on a tram to meet the bus tour. Obviously these are not questions my friends asked before she booked her tour. So really, do your research people or you will just end up on a tour that isn’t right for you. There are lots of options so nobody out there should be licking the wrong tour for them.unless you are a lazy click and book person like my friend!

10/10. The tour was informative, interesting and so so fun. The WTT team help you out so much with your travel plans as well as giving great advise if you’re looking to continue Aussie life working. WTT set you up with an Aussie SIM card, bank account and give you a two hour one on one to determine what you may wish to do once the trip has ended. Great help if you’re unsure what your plans are. The tour itself is so much fun and great value for money. Billy is a great guide with a good sense of humour, the trip was jam packed but never rushed and very relaxed. Surfing was a particular highlight for me personally and I can’t wait to take what I’ve learned from the lesson to the great ocean road (a trip WTT helped with too!) We made great friends along the way too. #Steffen65 eating 65 dumplings at the all you can eat dumpling restaurant was a very amusing highlight ❤️ Thank you guys for a fabulous week!!
