My reviews

Michael's deep knowledge of Melbourne's history was the highlight of his walking tour. He brought us to many sites & out of the way jems we would have missed on our own. Street art lanes were fun & distinctly Melbourne. Michael's tips on restaurants were excellent. Highly recommend.

This was a great way to unwind after our long flight and get some fresh air as we explored Melbourne. Mike was a great guide- friendly, knowledgeable, and tuned in to our level of energy and interests. Highly recommend.

Michael was so warm and engaging! Our time together flew by and I feel well prepared to see more of what we previewed on our tour. A perfect way to start our first visit to Melbourne!

Jorge is an excellent guide. He listened carefully to what we were interested in and was able to pivot mid-tour to take us somewhere special based on a topic that happened to come up in conversation. As deep as his knowledge is, he also approaches his tours with a sense of humour. You can learn a lot while having fun with Jorge.

We booked last minute and had some tired kids after a week of skiing. Mat showed us around so many sights in an effortless way. He even squeezed in a stop for a local sweet for the kids. Mat was able to answer all of our questions and was very knowledgeable. We learned so much about Munich and Bavaria.

Mateo did a great job. The city is a gem, and he showed us many beautiful spots. It was also interesting to learn from him about the history of the places, the city's notable figures, and its colonial history.
