Kathy was my tour guide and she was simply great! She shared so much knowledge about Melbourne, its history, street art, architecture and general vibe of Melbourne. We explored a lot in that little time in such a enjoyable way! She also gave great recommendations about additional art galleries and (hidden-) places such as restaurants, bars, and shopping places I could visit in addition. Couldn't have hope for more - thank you so much!

Fabulous! Our guide Kathy was amazing. She was very excited to tell us all about the city and its history. Especially loved the tiny little tide bits of stories in most Allyways. Would highly recommend. In fact I've plastered the photos I took all over socials and encouraged my friends to do themselves a favour and do a walking tour.
