Reviews of Our Melbourne Experiences

Must be able to walk a lot! Received great first day overview of the area and history of Melbourne. Very interesting.

We had the best walking tour in Melbourne with Ondrej Foltin. He was very knowledgeable, professional and funny! We covered most of Melbourne, and his guidance, referrals and tips set us up to navigate the rest of our time there! Thank you Ondrej. 5 star

Rhonda was a delightful guide. Shortly after we were matched with her she reached out and even helped shape our itinerary. Rhonda is friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a better understanding of the history of Melbourne and its landmarks. We especially loved that she helped us feel more comfortable navigating by foot and tram. She went out of her way to give us food and drink recommendations. It was an absolutely perfect introduction to the city. If you have been matched with Rhonda, consider yourself lucky

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!
