Ondrej by far was the best guide we have had on this trip. Very knowledgeable witty and engaging. We got to see sights which we would have missed if we were to see the city by ourselves which made the whole experience all the more meaningful. He made great recommendations for places to eat!! Thank you Ondrej.

Probably the best tour for any first timer in Melbourne. Rhonda was exceptionally knowledgeable and took her time to explain the layout of the city and the history of Melbourne. By the time we finished the tour, I moved around the city like a pro. I could find my way around without asking for directions. Thank you very much Rhonda.
