About this tour:
Puffing Billy has to be seen to be believed.  Put quite simply it is magnificent, and it is a guarantee that this train will make your heart sing.  On the I Heart Puffing Billy tour you will experience one of the world’s finest steam trains as it winds its way through the amazing temperate rainforest sitting in exhilarating open sided carriages.  It’s a Melbourne rite of passage that legs must be dangled over the side!

During the summer season, we include an additional stop to go berry or cherry picking before heading back into Melbourne.  This is something unique to I Heart Melbourne Tours and you won’t get elsewhere. We are thrilled to bring you this fantastic and very family-friendly activity.

This half day tour includes:

• Morning tea and feeding the wild cockatoos and rosellas.
• Ride on Puffing Billy through some of the tallest trees in the world and over tressel bridges.
• Seasonal alterations to the tour: during summer go cherry or berry picking (sampling the goods is obligatory!) and in the winter explore the wonderful hill side township of Sassafrass with its lovely tea rooms and boutique shops.
• Complimentary door-to-door service.

Here what our guests have to say about taking a family tour of Puffing Billy and the Dandenongs:

In such last minute period prior to our arrival, our wish to visit several interesting places can be managed and customized very well. Thanks a million James. As our first time to Australia, we found enjoyable moments for Puffing Billy, picking berries, seeing koala and kangaroo, visiting Yarra Valley chocolaterie and of course Brighton beach only in one day and on top of it, our kids can enjoy the whole day without feeling boring. We are looking forward to having another tour in Melbourne with I Heart Melbourne Tours.
