Our guide was excellent. We spent four hours getting a overview of the history, unique lane ways with a insightful guide

The tour was amazing! Our walking guide was very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the city that we could have not learned by just walking around. The tour is balanced, walking isn’t too much, as we were stopping and getting info on various places. We also had one 15 min free coffee/drink stop.

Chris was very knowledgeable and very amusing. A great way to see and understand the history of several of the main features of Melbourne. Fun afternoon. I highly recommend. We took tour in mid February.

It was really informative and our family enjoyed it tremendously! Dave was really accommodative and really helpful, witty and definitely gave us little nuggets of information many locals would not know as well. Not too intense of a tour, just the right amount of walking and duration.

This is an excellent introductory tour of central Melbourne with lots of history and lots of walking. We actually took this same walking tour four years ago -- liked it so much that we did the repeat -- to relearn things and see new things the lanes in Melbourne are a living changing thing. It is a pretty heavy walking tour so folks with walking issues need to be aware of this. Our guide was excellent funny and informative. I'd recommend this tour for any first time and perhaps some second time visitors like us visitors.

It was informative but the pace of the walk was way to slow. A smaller group would have been better.

It was a good overview of the Cental Business District of Melbourne. We learned and saw street arts, cafes, the Federation Center, etc. Along the way, we learned interesting historic facts about Melbourne. Our guide, Erica, did a good job. It was a 3.5 hours well spent. make sure you wear comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, hats, and carry some drinking water if you are doing this tour in hot weather.
