Easy pick up point, onto a very comfortable, clean bus, seating about 30 people. Our guide, Shane, went the extra mile to ensure the tour was a success. He was very knowledgeable with a good sense of humour. It was a great mix of activities.

Mornington tour
Carolyn_D, May 2023
Average tour, Would not do it again, whilst the driver was friendly and he conducted the tour to his best, I feel the ferry trip was very average, food poor, I asked for sourdough bread, this did not occur, the food packs were all from the kiosk bar on the vessel, as I had witnessed, at the end of the day felt the driver was slightly exceeding speed at one point, felt inclined to say slow down but was too embarrassed to, Anyway I saw what I wanted but would choose another style company next time, I heard that the tour company is associated with the cruise ship Carol
Response from Host, Jun 2023

A great day out
Paula_R, Mar 2023
Highly recommend this day trip. Filled with beautiful scenery, comfy travel, tasty visit to the brewery. Gorgeous spots to stop reflect and be in awe. Nice trip across on the ferry and back, my gluten free lunch was a generous portion but could have had tastier bread for my sandwich. Lots of special treasures noticed and photographed. A great day out seeing the peninsula area.

Great experience

Our guide Pete was superb we loved his backs and stories. He was determined for us to spot a kangaroo and went the extra mile for it. They were considerate to have vegan options and lunch. Would highly recommend it.
Relaxing day with good variety of activities
Jane_W, Mar 2023
Thank you Brook for the warm hospitality. It was a relaxing day out with my girlfriends, sight seeing for bath houses, London bridge and Arthurseat, round trip boat ride to Queenscliff with quite an extensive lunch (we spotted the dolphins!!) and end with beer tasting at St Andrew Beach Brewery. Love the variety of activities, get to explore the nature but not always in the car traveling. Love Mornington and definitely a chill day out.
Great experience
Jane_k, Feb 2023
Peter was good fun and flexible as there were only three of us on the tour. He was also knowledgeable and shared in an upbeat manner. Thank you.

Sue_K, Feb 2023
Driver fun and cordial. Disappointed that the « cruise » was actually a ferry crossing and not a boat trip along the coast. Picnic lunch was excellent. A beach with a few more colourful beach huts would have been nice
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Thank you for choosing to explore the Mornington Peninsula with us, Sue. I'm glad you enjoyed your guide and our picnic lunch box. I'm sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the cruise portion of the tour. Our ferry crossing is a beautiful way to see cross the bay and take in the spectacular scenery from Sorrento to Queenscliff. Thank you for letting us know what would have made your experience more enjoyable. We will keep this in mind for future tours. Thank you again for choosing Explore Australia Tours, and we hope to welcome you on another tour soon!

Richard_S, Jan 2023
Our guide was great...happy disposition. But the content should be changed. The 2 hr cruise to Queenscliffe was too long...felt like it was a time filler. Could have done with more time at Portsea to walk on the beach to London Bridge. Also more time at Sorrento to walk along the shops to enjoy the vibe.
Response from Host, Jan 2023
