Great introduction to Melbourne - Laura was a fantastic,entertaining guide. The time flew by and it was a great introduction to all that Melbourne has to offer. It was a very rainy start to our tour but Melbourne weather meant it then became sunny...so don't let weather deter you. So many laneways and so much history. Highly recommend doing this your first day in Melbourne. Thankyou Laura!

Great Experience! - Hugo was a great guide and I had a very nice tour. To be honest I wasn't expecting much from Melbourne after feedback I got from a few Aussies was negative. Hugo changed my mind, though! It's an interesting and lively city. Great tour; thanks, Hugo!

Back alleys to the library! - The whole tour was a fantastic experience! Our guide, Beau, was great! Explained everything very thoroughly, from the back alleys to the library, and everything in between.
After completing the tour, we had dinner at one of the back alley restaurants that Beau had taken us through! An amazing experience!

A fabulous tour orchestrated by an fabulous tour guide - Amazing, amazing, amazing!!! We frequently do trips recommended through Trip Advisor for all things tours, day trips, and excursions. We've been to multiple countries and have done several terrific tours. We were fortunate enough to get Ms. Laura on our half day walking tour in Melbourne. She was by far the best tour guide we could ask for standing out ahead of many other great tour guides. She was extremely knowledgeable of the history and essence of Melbourne being born and raised in the wonderful city. She was smart, charismatic, had great energy and humor the entire tour. Couldn't have asked for a better reception to Melbourne. She makes us want to move from the United States and make a new home. We fully expect her to have a statue in the CBD area very soon lol.
