Donuts- Do It!

Published on Nov, 2024

Tony was amazing! His knowledge of the city is incredible while walking and talking the entire time. I loved being so active and getting to so many parts of Melbourne and learning some rich history. Tony was kind and considerate asking if my needs were being met -a lovely gentleman! The coffee and donuts were very delicious and perfectly timed with bathroom breaks on the tour. I would highly recommend this for a fun and delicious way to get to know Melbourne!

Just book it!

Tony is a fantastic guide — the donuts and coffee were a bonus. A fun tour filled with new knowledge. Highly recommend.

Great Tour!

The Coffee and Donuts tour is a great way to see the sights of Melbourne, whether you are a born and bred Melbournian (like myself and my friends on the tour) or a tourist wanting to see the sights. And yes there is coffee and donuts included!! Our tour guide Miles has great knowledge of the places we visited, including all the small laneways within the city streets. We highly recommend the tour!

Great intro to Melbourne - plus donuts!

Published on Oct, 2024

Great walking tour with friendly, knowledgeable guide. Enjoyed seeing the sights, learning the background info, and stops for coffee and donuts along the way. The tours mix of iconic places and some lesser know spots. Would recommend as a good way to get introduced to Melbourne.

Good and memorable

Published on Apr, 2024

Anthony’s stories and the route he selected made this a memorable morning, we all learned heaps about the city and had a good time
