Latest reviews from our guests

    We really enjoyed this walking tour around Melbourne. The guide was very friendly and relaxed. The tour was informative and interesting, without being overwhelming. We saw lots of interesting and amazing sites and it was well worth the money.

    Chris, our guide, is extremely knowledgeable on history, culture as well as a variety of topics. He is a great listener and helped us define our general ideas of what we wanted to see. We learned so much-he is a great storyteller and provided so many facts and information on what we were seeing. We feel like we saw the highlights of Melbourne. We definitely recommend Chris and will be sure to use him again on a return trip.

    Chris readily established an exceptional rapport. He took our very general suggestions and helped us define what we wanted to see and made sure we achieved our goals. He is a very good listener and is very knowledgeable of history and culture and readily shares that knowledge. He is a great storyteller. We had physical limitations which he easily accommodated for. We had a great time seeing Melbourne and would definitely use Chris again to guide us. We highly recommend him!

    I find that a day 1 tour of a new city helps you orient yourself and feel more comfortable for the rest of the trip, as well as plan better what things you want to see and when. On this one we made a well planned loop of the central city, helping me understand it better both in terms of layout and culture. BTW, if you are visiting Melbourne, go see the Old Gaol. It's a cooler museum than it sounds like. Also, the town makes surprisingly high-quality chocolate.
