Tour Reviews
... it was a lovely weekend...very relaxed and the knowledge you have of the local environment was fantastic. Certainly saw a whole raft of species I didn't think I would see and saw some top spots. Jacqui & Jan (Aust.) June 2010
We had a great time and thank you for the great birding trip.... all the places and things we saw, the 7 koalas, and sharing your part of the world with us. Amy & Bob (USA) May 2010
....thank you very much for giving us such a good introduction to the birds of Victoria, and for your company ... Huw & Hilary (UK) January 2010
Just a quick note to thank you again for the enjoyable I day I spent with you yesterday. Great scenery, good birding with your knowledge and experience made it a day to remember. I appreciate the trouble you went to to include a variety of bird species, and was pleased to add five "ticks"to my own bird list. David (Aust.) October 2009.
... Thank you again for providing us with such a wonderful birding experience. We truly appreciated all the time you spent with us. Even going out of your way to find the elusive Tree Sparrow. Candy & Cindy (USA) September 2009.
.... many thanks for a great day. I marked down 22 new birds.and was thrilled to mark the 2 albatross...... I dont have to rave on to you how spectacular the scenery is and I just hope to be able to return some day. Jenny (Israel) August 2009.
Thankyou very much for taking us birding last Saturday. It was a great day and we all enjoyed it very much. It was good to have someone there to find and identify the birds for us. This meant that we could have really good look at the birds without having to spend time consulting our guide books. We did enjoy travelling through the Otways again, they are so close and one tends to forget how beautiful they are. Lee and Gordon (Aust.) April 2009.
Many thanks for a great day amongst the hinterlands of Victoria. I will definitely recommend you to anyone who comes your way.

I do want to thank you for a fantastic day out birding, it was a real pleasure being able to see (and have identified) so many birds in a variety of beautiful habitats; thank you also for the detour to see Koalas. Nick (UK) Jan 2009
Thank you for an absolutely wonderful day.

I had found GO BIRDING TOURS via the internet and contacted Barry by e-mail. I booked Barry for three trips because as a visiting birder from the UK nearly all the birds were new to me. Thanks to Barry's perseverance, patience and hard work I was able to see as many birds of different habitats as was possible in the time I had in Australia. Nothing was too much trouble for him and even morning and afternoon teas were supplied. I would recommend GO BIRDING TOURS to every birder whether experienced or not. You will not be disappointed !

Having visited Australia several times, but never the Melbourne / Victoria area, I was hoping to see a wide variety of birds and fill in some gaps on my Aussie list. Barry had a great route planned covering wet & dry forest and coastal heathland that allowed us to see more than 100 species including 26 ticks for me. I found Barry to be extremely knowledgeable and very flexible allowing us to focus more on the birds and areas I wanted to explore rather than a "cast-in-stone" itinerary. I even managed to see my first ever Duck Billed Platypus. I would have no hesitation in recommending Go Birding to other visiting birders.

Thank you again for the marvellous day you gave us in and around Geelong. Our two days in Geelong were without doubt the highlights of our holiday. And that is saying a lot because we had a wonderful time in Melbourne. Also, thank you for going to the trouble of creating the spreadsheet detailing the birds we saw.... 30 new species for me and a few others were confirmation of sightings made only a day or two earlier. Thanks again.
