    Karla was super. Local and national knowledge was excellent. Very friendly and chatty. Asked me about what I was interested in and on the hoof adjusted the tour to my interests. Thank you.

    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!

    We like a walking tour and although my other half wanted to cut it short and go shopping (again), I think a walking tour with a well informed guide is a great way of getting a feel for a city. Emma didn't disappoint. Not sure where I goth the impression that Melbourne retained a lot of its colonial past, it isn't that, instead we found a modern and vibrant city with less of its past preserved than you might expect. We thought Emma was great and gave us a great foundation for more exploring during our stay. The Queen Victoria Market is a must, especially the food market.
