Magical Melbourne - Michael was friendly, knowledgeable and outgoing. He tailored the 4+ hours to our interests. He was flexible and did his best to accommodate our requests. This experience was well worth the money. Good value

Fun and informative - Chris met us at our hotel and spent 3 hour showing and telling us about Melbourne. He was nice and very knowledgeable. Melbourne has many hidden points of interest you could never find without the help of a local.

Not good - We received multiple emails confirming our meeting spot, but then also received one email with a different location. Causing us to lose an hour of our only day in Melbourne. Then our guide took us on his predetermined route where he quickly walked by things and checked off his list. He gave us false information on several occasions. We didn’t see any particular unique things. The whole tour could’ve been done on our own.

Both of our tour... - Both of our tour reservations cancelled at last minute. Terrible service. Still waiting on refund. Don't advertise a service and ask for advance payment if you can't do the job.
