A very informative quick Tour!

Published on Jul, 2024

We were able to feel, know and appreciate the city in 1.5 hours. Ben, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about Melbourne, its history, culture and latest developments. After the short tour, we were comfortable moving around using all the train and tram systems. Our stay was short so this tour was a very informative and useful introduction about Melbourne! We highly recommend this tour!

Great walking tour!

Published on Jan, 2024

What a fantastic experience! While there should not have been an issue with finding the starting point, Ben came to where we were to start the tour. It was a tour later in the day (5:30) which means some ( just a few) places to see were closed. However, Ben provided as much information as possible about everything around, with great insight and a bit of humor. He even got us to engage with the city in an interesting way. We saw a lot, learned a lot, and highly recommend the experience at the start of your time in Melbourne as it can inform what you do and where you go while there. Thanks Ben!
