The tour was amazing. Kathy was a great guide, she was very informative. A great way to see inner city Melbourne. 3 hours well spent. I definitely recommend this tour.

Our guide San, was so knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. He inspired me to read further about Melbourne history and history around my home town. Sans information and presentation was great. The number of different sights that he showed us in easy walking distance were amazing. His pace was perfect for everyone in our group. He was easily heard, which was wonderful. I would definitely recommend San and the tour to anyone heading into Melbourne. Everything was easy from booking, receiving reminders and updates, using the app to Get to the meeting spot, meeting with our guide San and getting back to our accommodation. My husband said it was so good he would do the tour again on our next visit to Melbourne
