Mike was an amazing guide around Melbourne and customized our experience to our specifications. From start to finish he was a class act, very knowledgeable and showed us hidden gems you would never know about just walking around without a guide. I highly recommend this tour and it worked out perfectly with our cruise in port hours.

Rhonda did a fabulous job planning this Melbourne City tour. She emailed me a few times beforehand to get ideas about my interests for the tour, which was appreciated. She was engaging and informative. I couldn't have asked for anything more and am so glad I was able to do the tour with her. Strongly recommend Rhonda!!!!
