Reviews of Our Melbourne Experiences

Karla was fantastic. She communicated well pre tour and was promptly on time and very welcome ! She had a very nice walking tour plan for us and had education all along the way. A good mix of history and local vibe! We enjoyed so much and, she had time, to extend our tour a bit to see more!

We really enjoyed our time with Karla getting to know Melbourne. She presented a varied tour with mixes of old and new, history and current affairs. Very easy to engage with and open to discussing topics that interested us. We were left with great recommendations to fill the rest of our days in the city.

Rhonda was an amazing tour guide! She was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable throughout the entire walking tour. She never rushed us and gave everyone plenty of time to enjoy each stop, take photos, and ask questions. Her explanations were detailed, interesting, and easy to follow, making the history and culture come alive. We truly appreciated her friendly personality and the care she put into making sure everyone had a great experience. I would highly recommend this tour with Rhonda to anyone visiting Australia. Thank you for such a wonderful day!

Ondrej was an amazing guide and storyteller. His humor matched up well with ours and made our tour seem more like catching up with an old friend. Cheers Ondrej!
