This tour was very disappointing for several reasons. The guide, an older gentleman with white hair, did not introduce himself. We started 45 minutes late because two couples were waiting in the wrong place, and he didn't know how to locate them. There was no explanation about how we would address the time we missed and what might be cut short. We enjoyed the Healesville Sancturary a lot. We spent about an hour an a half there, and perhaps we could have cut it by 15-30 minutes to fit everything in. We were running so late that we were unable to get to lunch at the Warburton Bakery. We stopped at a little shopping center to grab something to go and then enjoyed the incredible view from Mt. Donna Buang. I asked our guide about the treetop walk through the rainforest that was on the itinerary and he said it was over by the left, where there was traffic. We missed it completely. We finished with a nice wine and cheese tasting. I did enjoy seeing the animals and the countryside but the tour could have been so much better with a guide who was more organized and talked to the 10 of us about how to plan the day after starting so late.
