Walking tour at your own pace - What a fabulous way to see and hear about Melbourne. The option to pause and look further is a great option and being able to hear the whole commentary with ease is a plus.

Fun walk around Melbourne! - I love Melbourne and this tour made me love it more! Interesting stories and insights of favourite places with a fun commentary… buskers, coffee innovators and Koori heritage came to life and it even took me on a short tram ride, highly recommend ❤️

Historically Fascinating - Very interesting as we come from Perth WA historically educating only down fall is the lack of respect people have towards people with such great talent otherwise o totally enjoyed it loved loved the old buildings my mind wonders back to who may have walked down these street and lived and worked in these buildings

Great way to see the city - We really enjoyed our walk through Melbourne and learning all about this beautiful city. Once we got started the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I feel like we saw all the highlights.
We did struggle to find the starting location because I was under the impression we were to start at federation square. You actually start at the river below, which would have saved us a bit of walking and confusion from the start.

Fun walk - Engaging and interesting narrative. Inclusion of thr tram ride was enjoyable. Was able to take a deviation to AC/DC lane and then get back on track. Was lost for awhile after exiting Block arcade, but got back on track by observing the number of meters to the next stop going up and down (you're there when it gets to zero).

Disappointing - I guess I was expecting so much more having done street art tours in San Fran and locally in Brissie, but I was disappointed with what we saw. There are some beautiful pieces but the amount of graffiti everywhere (tags) just took something away from the actual artistry.

Needs GPS improvements - Great concept but the GPS was off and the app would cut out when a text
or phone call came in. Re-setting the app to where it left off was confusing and disrupted the GPS so it didn't track where we were. We got off track many times and thus didn't finish the tour.
