Awesome ride. We were the last group to catch the train and the staff and captain were so nice to wait for us.

GOOD
Very pleasant experience on the train as well as staff. Kids enjoyed very well.
Must go attraction if you have time, very good experience. Very well suited for families and also couple.
What a great experience Puffing Billy was while visiting Melbourne. I remember riding this steam train when I was a kid and it’s still the same locomotive as it was back then. It is definitely worth riding on board and stepping back in time. Will definitely ride Puffing Billy again when I visit Melbourne the next time. I would also like to recognise all the staff that work on Puffing Billy as they are all volunteers doing a fantastic job keeping this memorabilia alive. Many thanks for your excellent service.
