Private day trip to Puffing Billy
We just recently did a private day trip with Simon to Puffing Billing Train, Healesville Sanctuary and the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery, and we had a great time. Simon is a local and very knowledgeable, and knows how to best fit in everything in a short time. We got a lot more out of it that we were even initially planning on and were able to add more things to visit in the same time period. He is very friendly and good with kids as well. Being a local, he also had many good recommendations of other things to do as well.
