Latest reviews from our guests

I did the Melbourne: City Highlights & Hidden Gem Private Walking Tour with Ondrej, and it was absolutely fantastic! As I was travelling alone, I really appreciated how friendly, easy-going, and engaging Ondrej was — it felt like exploring the city with a knowledgeable local friend. He tailored the tour perfectly to my interests, showing me both Melbourne’s iconic landmarks and hidden corners I never would have discovered on my own. Ondrej also took wonderful photos throughout the day — of me and of the city — and sent them afterward, which was such a thoughtful touch and a great way to remember the experience. His passion for Melbourne really shines through, and his stories and insights made the city come alive. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better day. Highly recommend this tour — especially with Ondrej!

Ondrej spent four wonderful hours with us, showing us the city and giving us a real feel for Melbourne, not glossing over anything. It was truly an amazing experience. We saw some amazing street art and artists and toured the market, drank some wonderful coffee and ate some fantastic pastries. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Melbourne.
