Reviews of Our Melbourne Experiences

What a wonderful city, and what a fantastic tour guide in Michael! He met us at the tour port, and used the public transportation system to show us EVERYTHING! From the F1 track to the seashore to the entire downtown area...it was fantastic. The tour was much longer than 3 hours, thanks to Michael wanting to show us his city. And what a beautiful city it is. I wish it wasn't halfway around the world, or we would visit more often! But Michael made the tour. Friendly, knowledgeable, always willing to answer our questions - he was the consummate professional. And he was more than willing and helpful when it came to help push my wife around in her wheelchair (she got hurt on the cruise ship), so she missed none of the tour that Michael hosted. All in all, a great day and a great host showing us a fantastic city. Highly recommend!

Wonderful city tour with tons of history . Our tour guide was so knowledgable and filled our day with amazing buildings, gardens, shops, arcades ( shop alleys) , street art walls and ended at the public library. We walked the entire tour and saw so many amazing areas with so many styles. Our tour guide Maeve had such insight to the history in Melbourne. She was a delight to spend the day with. Highly recommend booking a tour of the city.

My guide, Ondrej, was fantastic. Not only did I learn so much about Melbourne on my tour, Ondrej and I had a running and delightful conversation throughtout the tour. If you ever need a guide in Melbourne, Ondrej is the one! This was one of the best - if not the best - Viator tours I have taken. Thanks for a memorable experience.

Sebastien was amazing! He gave me, a solo traveler, a great tour of the CBD where I felt like I had a great overview of what Melbourne had to offer. He took me to some hidden gems like the State Library, which was fabulous. I highly recommend it!
