This was an Amazing tour. Despite the drizzly weather, Anthony was nothing but bright and engaging. He made the whole day and tour worth it!
Thanks for the great review. We have just started out Lake Mountain and Puffing Billy tours so very happy to hear they are going well. Anthony is a legend. I will pass this onto him for sure. Thanks Marnie Explore Australia Tours.
