Definitely worth doing

Overall the trip was good. However, the Melbourne City part of the trip was extremely short, missing St. Pauls, the Gaol, the Markets, the Shrine of Remembrance and others. The website also said that we could hand feed the birds at Sherbrooke Forest and that seed would be provided. This did not happen, I suspect because the cockatoos are a little boisterous, but it should perhaps be removed from the website. The sound on the bus was not particularly good, and the driver did not check to see that we could all hear his commentary clearly. The rest was lovely except that for me the tea was a little strong! Thanks for a pleasant trip.

My friend and I enjoyed the tour but feel we missed out by not stopping at some of the little towns along the way. The feeding of the birds was not that pleasant as the white cockatoos seem to have taken over and frighten people, one bit me on the arm and a week later I still have a large bruise to show. An afternoon tea or even lunch or just a browse or a walk along the street of one of the towns as they all look inviting would have been great.

The Dandenong tour was great good tour driver the cruise was alright but not what I expected, not scenic. It was down river in the industrial dockyards, other disappointment was no hotel pickup for the cruise which was booked and I wasn't informed of this just lucky we made the tour in time at their office by getting a taxi.

Great trip, friendly operators, and the bird feeding was definitely a highlight.

It was OK... but could have been better

Yarra River Cruise itself was quite good but experience was diminished by very poor quality audio system. Could not hear commentary even when volume turned up. Coach trip to dandenongs was a good trip but stops were far too rushed.
