Great tour

Published on Feb, 2025

This tour was a great introduction to Melbourne and our guide, Ola, was engaging and informative. It was very interesting and helped us to get more out of our visit to the city. We went back to one of the places we visited and had a delicious lunch! We would definitely recommend this tour.

So glad we chose this

Published on Feb, 2025

We embarked on this tour on our second day in Melbourne, and it proved to be a perfect introduction for tourists eager to begin their Melbourne adventure. Our docent, Fiona, was incredibly knowledgeable and courteous, making our three hours together feel like mere moments. We explored the city's charming lanes and vibrant arcades, indulging in delicious chocolate and coffee while learning about Melbourne's fascinating history. Fiona shared excellent recommendations and insights that enriched our stay, and we took full advantage of her suggestions. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to every tourist visiting the beautiful city of Melbourne. Thank you, Fiona, for being such an outstanding docent!
